CONTRASTING BUSH AND OBAMA

GEORGE OBAMA BY JON GOLD:




As far as Obama being like Bush, I think Glenn Greenwald summed it up nicely today in his article:

“…because the President has escalated a miserable,
pointless and unwinnable war that is entering its ninth year. Or
...because he has claimed the power to imprison people for life with no
charges and to assassinate American citizens without due process,
intensified the secrecy weapons and immunity instruments abused by his
predecessor, and found all new ways of denying habeas corpus. Or
because he granted full-scale legal immunity to those who committed
serious crimes in the last administration. Or because he’s failed to
fulfill — or affirmatively broken — promises ranging from transparency
to gay rights.
