I don't think the prez is the same as Bush, dammit |

so stop saying that. Here is what I do think:
1. Canadian health care is far better than that in the US, and should have been on the table
2. Privatizing Social security will take the country one more giant step toward becoming Haiti
3. Same thing for privatizing more and more public schools
4. Don Siegelman should have been pardoned
5. The Bush DoJ cleansing should have been investigated, aggressively
7. This ridiculous Pentagon budget should be slashed
8. He is not using his bully pulpit enough to push for the things that would begin to return the US to greatness
9. US workers should be able to join a union if they want to
10. Gay should be able to risk their lives to defend the country
and finally,
11. The prez has largely pissed away a generation of young people who voted (D) two years ago, and a substantial mandate for real change.
Edit: To paraphrase Hartmann, Bush is a lying, stupid, incompetent sociopath. The president is none of those things. I know that. I will support him right through the end of this terms in Jan 2017. But I feel a great deal of promise has been wasted over the last 19 months.

1. Canadian health care is better? You need to be drug-tested. |

2. But if he did those things, he would alienate the right wing and the "center", wouldn't he? n.t |

8. I knew Bush would work against my interests. I didn't think Obama would, but he has. |
|
That doesn't necessarily mean "as bad as," but it comes damn close, in my book.
