Lots of blame to go around on this one. As the Chief Executive, however, administration of the law is firmly in the purview of Obama. He has shown his ability in the past to forego enforcement of laws he found distasteful yet, here, he has endorsed the gutting of individual liberty.
Call Republicans hypocritical if you like. Bottom line is that this administration has expanded the attack on personal liberties well beyond anything Bush did.

If Bush were still in office, don't you think he'd be pushing the same agenda, or maybe worse?
I'm not in favor of what's going on, it's just funny to hear everyone up in arms about this now, where was all the fuss in 2001?
