Explanation:

First Question (Who ran against Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election?):

In the 2008 US presidential election, Barack Obama's opponent was John McCain (the Republican nominee). George W. Bush was not a candidate in 2008 (he was ending his second term), Mitt Romney ran against Obama in 2012, and Bill Clinton was a former president, not a 2008 candidate.

The USA PATRIOT Act, post - 9/11, allowed law enforcement to monitor emails and phone calls (under certain provisions related to national security and counter - terrorism) without a traditional warrant in some cases to gather intelligence on terrorism. Stockpiling weapons, deporting based on Muslim descent, and arresting without a warrant are not core provisions of the PATRIOT Act.

Answer:

A. John McCain

Second Question (The USA PATRIOT Act allowed law enforcement agencies to...):
