If You Love Peace, Become a "Blue Republican" (Just for a Year)

Robin Koerner: If You Love Peace, Become a "Blue Republican" (Just for a Year)

However, the second election President Bush was not excused, because by 2004, the modus operandi of the Bush administration was clear. He wanted to 1) conduct wars against countries that did not threaten us (e.g. Iraq), 2) oversee large financial benefits to companies with which those in his administration were close (e.g. Halliburton), 3) establish a legal framework for riding roughshod over the liberties of private individuals who are not suspected of crime (e.g. Patriot Act), and 4) establish a massive federal apparatus to carry out such intrusions on innocent Americans in what is becoming a police state (e.g. domestic wiretapping, TSA etc... )

The more-or-less global delight upon Obama's election in 2008 followed largely from the hope that Americans had realized what a mistake they had made with Bush's second term and were therefore voting against the egregious actions of the then Republican establishment.

When most Americans voted for "Hope" and "Change," the above four objectives were at the top of their list of what they "hoped" would be "changed."

After two years, however, we now see that Obama 1) conducts wars against countries that do not threaten us (e.g. Libya, Yemen etc.), 2) oversees large financial benefits to companies with which those in his administration were close (e.g. Goldman Sachs), 3) supports the legal framework for riding roughshod over the liberties of private individuals who are not suspected of crime (e.g. Patriot Act), and 4) is growing a massive federal apparatus to carry out such intrusions on innocent Americans in what is becoming a police state (e.g. domestic wiretapping, TSA etc.. )

And rightwingers still like Bush and hate Obama, why?

Lack of education?

Inbreeding?

Probably not.

I suspect it's all about "race".

Excellent link! Yet more proof that Obama = Bush-III. Anyone who voted for Obama was warned, but I guess they decided not to listen.

When are you guys going to realize that unlike you, we have criticized and will continue to criticize both Bush and Obama when they have been wrong?

We understand that simply because someone has an R or D next to their name doesnt make them perfect, evil, good, infalliable, etc.

So Bush had wound down Afghanistan, and was in the process of winding down Iraq, so what does your boy do???

He starts Afghanistan back up, keeps thousands in Iraq, starts a war with Libya and Yemen, and seems to be doing the opposite of what you expected.

No thank you. I don't feel any need to fight wars with no hope for victory.

It's completely different. That Obama had the moral clarity to recognize Bush had been completely wrong, while having the courage to recognize he needed to follow the same course of action as Bush is only the beginning of what makes him such a great President. Get it now?
