No, he did not. The first renditions that we know about occurred under President Ronald Reagan; Bill Clinton also agreed with rendition under certain circumstances. But it was during the presidency of George W. Bush that the number of renditions increased: memos were written specifically for this purpose by the Bush legal team (led by his Deputy Attorney General John Yoo). These rulings stated that torture (euphemistically called "enhanced interrogations"), as well as extraordinary rendition of those thought to be terrorists, was legal. Today we know that not everyone subjected to these procedures was a terrorist. In fact, some detainees who were on the receiving end were never officially charged with any crimes, and a few were released later on. Also, it is still a bone of contention as to whether these methods worked: Mr. Bush and his vice president Dick Cheney insist that they did, but others in the Bush administration denied that they produced any useful information.

Did Obama make rendition legal?

No, he did not. Rendition (having terror suspects taken to foreign countries and tortured) was begun under George W. Bush, and it was (sad to say) used on a number of occasions during the Iraq War. President Obama ended the practice of waterboarding, and he also ended rendition-- or at least the administration said that's what they did, back in 2009. However, in fairness to the skeptics from both political parties who may be reading this, since rendition was a top-secret program, whether it was totally ended or whether it has been used on other occasions since 2009 is difficult to say. And under the Patriot Act, which congress has renewed each time it came up, presidents may take unusual or extraordinary measures if they feel the situation demands it. But we do know for a fact that President Obama has never legalized rendition.
