If NDAA and SOPA are passed under Obama...?

...do you think he'll receive the same amount of flak and hatred that Bush received for signing the USA PATRIOT Act into law?

I mean, both take freedoms away from us, same with the PATRIOT Act, but we don't hear about how Obama is a tyrant or a dictator when NDAA and SOPA are discussed, do we? Even though the PATRIOT Act has served as a good boogieman for liberals to trumpet as a proof of Bush's tyrannical ways, it really has been all hype. Everyone blames Bush for PATRIOT Act, yet he only signed it into law. Congress creates these laws.

Congress created NDAA and SOPA, Obama has signed off on NDAA, and will likely sign off on SOPA if it passes Congress, but has not been connected with either bills in the way Bush was with USA PATRIOT Act.

To me this seems very suspect, as PATRIOT Act criticism and concerns predicting an Orwellian state and totalitarian dictatorship have been largely unfounded and foolish. Will liberals condemn Obama for passing the NDAA, which allows troops to occupy our streets and indefinitely detain citizens without trial?
