TSA v/s Patriot Act

I'm just wondering, as, apparently others have, where's the comparison to Bush's "controversial" Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which a lot of people called "domestic spying" (which it was, but only to potential foreigners or U.S citizens wishing to do America harm) in which the feds could only listen in for a specified number of minutes before turning off their recordings in accordance with the law. Besides, it isn't, which I've stated before, the government listening on Susie homemaker and her children talking about recipes or to a cheating husband and his mistress as the media pretty much purported it to be. No wonder people are misinformed.

But what I'm wondering is, where's the media and Congressional equivalence of Obama's TSA groping and scanning to Bush's "spying?"

Have you noticed, from Obama's thinking a White House window was a door, his "Corpsemen" and "fifty-seven states in America," comments, among many others; Katrina compared to the BP spill, his misquotes and assumptions and now the whole TSA "civil liberties" thing, no one has said one iodum about Obama taking away people's rights? How come there's been no mention of "Big Brother?"

Moreover, how come when interviewing TSA Administrator John Pistole. NBC's Matt Lauer fretted, "...I hate to even think of what happens if the government caves in on this, and relaxes these procedures, and someone manages to get something on board a plane and causes harm. Imagine the questions you'll be asked at that point."

No networks had such empathy for Bush and the Patriot Act. No one asked, "If someone detonates a bomb inside the U.S. after the Patriot Act was rescinded, I'd hate to think of the questions you'd have to answer then." Funny isn't it? So why all the concern for the Obama administration and its policies and none for Bush? Don't answer. We all know why, don't we?
