Or of Obama being compared to George W. Bush, who has been merrily spying on his own citizens for at least the last 5 years.

Seriously, this Congressman from Georgia? Is a right-wing nutjob. The rightwingers really hate that Obama draws large, passionate crowds, from which they make the highly illogical leap that Obama is a future Hitler. Obama taught Constitutional law at the University of Chicago before he became a U.S. Senator (and while he was a part-time state senator in Illinois). In the last few days his transition team released an organizational chart of the U.S. federal government; it rightly places the Constitution at the top of the chart, where it belongs, and puts the executive branch (president, VP, government agencies) at the same level as the judicial and legislative branches. Unlike Bush, Obama understands that the three branches are co-equal and there's "one Constitution to rule them all". This cartoon speaks eloquently to what Obama will need to do the day he's sworn in.
