The funniest thing about statements like this, as well as most of the presidential election statements from both sides, is that they all pre-suppose that the office of the president has far more power than it actually does. As for this particular president, yes, all the same statements were made back in 2008, and the biggest thing critics can point to as a "loss of freedom" is the ACA, and even then, I haven't found any coherent statements on exactly what freedoms. Just cries of "Read it and you'll see", which don't work well because I actually have read it, and I didn't find the nefarious regulations hidden within it.
Also, I feel like I should get bonus points for using the word "nefarious".
