Actually, the situation is very similar. Both cases have an evil enemy that has struck at their very core. The opposition failed miserably in both cases. The population supported the leader in both cases. The leader was charismatic/suited the mood in both cases (for Bush this means strong leader and moral). The population wanted revenge/satisfaction/whatever. The population was fed what they wanted to hear and set for war.

Hitler came to power after the effects of the Black Thursday and the Great Depression. There was a high unemployment and a lot of reparation payments to the allied forces.
Hitler used a paragraph in the Weimarer constitution to call for a 'state of emergency' (computer geeks wood say it was an exploit ;o). After that he ruled absolutely within this state.
Let me see what G.W.Bush did ... after 9/11 introduced the Patriot Act (ever wondered why it was so fast finished?), was going to war with two countries and opened prisoner camps.
AFAIK the USA still has a 'state of war'.
He is a lame duck at the moment, but wait for the next terror attack. Bush said some years ago the 'constitution is just a peace of paper'.
In a possible chaotic situation after an terror attack it should be easy to suspend the constitution.
Or what do you think what for all the new build concentration camps in the US are?
