Obama worse than Bush on civil rights abuses
By all accounts, the domestic spying program under the current administration has gone much further than it ever did under Bush, though clearly both programs exist outside the confines of the Constitution. For one, in the years since Obama has been in office, the NSA’s program has expanded to include American tech firms; companies like Yahoo!, Google and Cisco have been caught sharing users’ personal metadata with the agency, though there was no probable cause and none of it was obtained via search warrant, as called for by the Fourth Amendment.
