I don't think so.

The fact that these telecom companies had already been told by the Bush Administration (in writing) that what they were doing was "legal", puts this on Bush, not Obama. The companies should not be punished after they got a promise from the US Government that they would not.
It doesn't make what they did right, but the anger should be focused on Bush/Cheney, not on Obama. Going forward, this won't happen again and Obama sees this truth. He can't fix what Carl Rove did in 2001/02, can he? Should he be expected to do that? Where's his red cape?
