Bush in a New Light says Poll

[Hydra009]

That said I can't think of any of Bushes policies that Obama has reversed (for a minute I was thinking torture but look what they have done to Bradly Manning)

He did start troop pullouts in Iraq and Afghanistan and reversed the Mexico City Policy and lifted W era restrictions on stem cell research.

However, he has failed to shut down Gitmo (despite a campaign pledge to do so) but at least dropped the term "enemy combatant", and has continued the Patriot Act.

His presidency so far has been sort of a mix between Bush and more moderate Republican positions.

Exactly.  I'll take a moderate Republican presidency over a wingnut presidency any day.

I don't get it. I don't get it. I do Not get it.

Americans have extraordinarily short memories.

>  Hitler had the highest numbers after he was elected than any politician. He also had the most votes than any Politician when he got elected.

Not really.  The Nazis never got more than 33% of the vote in a free election.  Once they gained a foot-hold in the parliament, they bullied the aging President von Hindenburg into appointing Hitler Chancellor (he was appointed, not elected).  After that, of course, Hitler did very well in elections, since they were completely rigged.

If Barbie McMoose became president we'd all have to STOP thinking - it would be the law.  She wouldn't want people doing something she couldn't do.

I dunno guys. Obama has fucked up pretty badly. At this point if i were given a redo on the 2008 election under the condition that some random citizen was selected to be president I might go for it. I figure ive got a 30% or so chance of getting someone who cares, isnt insane, and isnt easily corrupted.

But the alternative was Romney, who didn't give a damn and was born corrupted.

At what point does Obama become a worse choice than Romney? If your answer is never then you need to take a step back imo.

When he starts introducing mandatory christian upbringing for all citizens or start claiming he believes his underwear has magical powers? :P

Obama could never be worse than Romney - I'd bet my life on it.  I still think Obama is a good man.  I think Romney is a crook.  
just my two cents worth

+1.  Plus a chilling disregard for the poor.  And at least Obama knows that Iran borders the (wait for it) Persian Gulf.   #-o

Oh damn. I guess I missed that bullet point on Romney's campaign website.  :roll:
