ACLU to Obama: ‘Change or more of the same?’

The American Civil Liberties Union has never treated the Obama administration with kid gloves, but with their latest ad buy it's become increasingly clear that their patience for the continuance of some Bush-era policies has run quite thin. "What will it be Mr. President?" the ACLU asks in a full-page New York Times advertisement published Sunday. "Change or more of the Same?" The ad also features a portrait of Obama that morphs into Bush. The ACLU's images of the subtle transition between presidents is filtered and lacking in detail, and spans just four frames. However, it appears to be a take-off of a protest image that circulated Facebook and some progressive blogs late last year, showing a similar transition in eerie detail.

Many people proclaim the ACLU is just a Democratic lapdog group. Well, it would appear they are serious about civil liberties no matter who is in office. It seems most of their contention is centered around continued Bush policies and Obama's capitulation to those who want accused 9/11 terrorists tried in military tribunals as opposed to courts. My own take on this issue favors a case in our court system. That's what court is for, trying the accused, unless the government is frightened they might actually get off.
