Sure, but the FBI demanding warrantless access to browser history in order to fight terrorism, and expecting to get it, is a direct result of Bush administration policy.
The FBI is an executive branch agency, under direct control of the President, who, for nearly the last 8 years, has been Barack Obama.
Who started it is irrelevant if all following presidents continue to with it.
