In reply to the discussion: Bush NEVER ONCE did this. [View all]FlatStanley
(327 posts)88. You are correct.
Bush negotiated all troops out of Iraq. Obama is leaving troops in Afghanistan for another ten years.
Bush hardly used drones. Obama uses the drone as his go to response.
Bush instituted 100 percent of Bush tax cuts. Obama only kept 82 percent in place.
Are there some things Obama did that Bush didn't do? Sure.
Bush never said he would close Gitmo. Obama said he would.
Bush never said his wars would take years. Obama said his would take years.
Bush didn't vigorously pursue whistle blowers. Obama has tried more whistler blowers than all other Presidents combined.
If these are your values, you are no Democrat. You just vote for the D.
Now ask yourself. Who benefits when Democrats vote for any D on the ballot, regardless of actual policy?
