Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss
I'm still waiting on Obama to be different on war policy and civil liberties from Bush (and by different, I mean different-better, not different-worse).

Matt Wilstein writes at Mediaite:

Thursday afternoon on CNN's The Lead, following President Obama's major speech on counterterrorism, host Jake Tapper welcomed The Nation's Jeremy Scahill, who offered his reactions to the speech. Scahill, who with his book and documentary Dirty Wars has been highly critical of Obama foreign policy did not find much hope in what the president said.

"My reaction to the president's speech," Scahill began, "is that it really is sort of just a rebranding of the Bush era policies with some legalese that is very articulately delivered from our constitutional law professor, Nobel Peace Prize-winning president. But effectively, Obama has declared the world a battlefield and reserves the right to drone bomb countries in pursuit of people against whom we have no direct evidence or who we're not seeking any indictment against."
