In utter defiance of the US Constitution, George W. Bush claimed the unprecedented authority to declare any person an unlawful enemy combatant (a term he created ex recto) and imprison that person without charges, without legal representation, without a trial, without recourse to habeus corpus, for an indefinite period --- not for anything the person had done, but for something the President thought the person might do.
Now Obama claims the same unconstitutional power.
Oh, but he's not going to use the "enemy combatant" term.
That makes it all better.
Still think that frog you kissed is going to turn into a handsome prince? You've got a long wait ahead of you.
