Senator Obama voted the opposite on a few of those, but as president seems to have few problems with the Patriot Act and Guantanamo.

Congress is THE body which has say in the matter. Obama's attempts to move suspects to the continental US from Guantanamo were suppressed by Congress. If you are going to excuse Congress, then who are you going to hold responsible?
