Bush was a little more concerned with national security than Obama. Bush was a little more open to bipartisanship than Obama. Bush was MUCH MORE thick skinned as it peretained to criticism. Bush did not feel the need to alienate any group be them business owners, radicals like the far left, demonstrators like Sheehan and her crowd...
bush was more concerned with military AGGRESSION than obama... not security.
bush was never for bi-partisanship as you'd perhaps understand if you were on my side of the aisle. bush gave the finger to the left side of the aisle the day he took office because he was obsessessed with furthering the objectives of the radical religious right.
obama tried to be bi-partisan and got the finger for it from the 'ihopehefails' loons.
otherwise, there would be a public option....
otherwise, we'd be out of iraq ....
otherwise, we'd be out of afghanistan....
otherwise, there would have been a real jobs bill when he came into office and not the watered down trash that came out of congress and which the rightwingnuts promptly gave the finger to after getting concessions....
otherwise, DADT would be GONE.
Bush left crawford in the middle of the night to sign a bill to make the rightwingnuts happy on the schiavo issue... interestingly the only thing he ever left crawford for during his 8 years.
bush appointed rightwingnuts to the court... obama put moderates on the court... really stupid imo.[/QUOTE
that is absurd.
how has obama tried to be bi-partisan? he's spent most of his time insulting republicans, kind of like how he's insulted bankers, doctors, insurance companies, oil companies, etc...
so republicans are keeping us in iraq?
how are republicans keeping us in afghanistan? obama campaigned on afghanistan as the good war. he suggested a surge.
so the problem with the stimulus was it wasn't big enough?
time will tell whether the wise latina and lesbo softball player are moderates. somehow i think we all have a pretty good idea how they'll rule on most decisions.
jillian - how have obama's economic policies differed from bush's? please, tell me.
