So this is Obama as tyrant, because unnamed people (likely related to the press, or one or both of the two campaigns) pulled some records illegally in a state which he is not governing nor currently representing.

Were the leaks of say Britney Spear's medical records back in April also the sign of budding autocracy? There were those ads after all, maybe they were vetting her too.

And the Palin investigation pre-dated her nomination. Clearly he is omniscient as well and set the gears in motion early.
