The real irony here is he gave a speech on "human rights". The man who made torture, assassination, and preemptive war a part of official U.S. foreign policy, was giving a speech on human rights. He won't find many takers to what he is saying, however. Even Romney won't mention him by name.
-Didn't change Bush Iraq withdrawl plan, actually tried to SLOW it.
-Guantanamo? Still there, permanently.
-Warm fuzzy relationships with Iran and NK? Same.
-Afghanistan? Same.
We are doing the same stuff that happened under Bush. I view Bush more dimly since he STARTED Gulf II, but anyone seeing Obama as shifting from Bush doctrine is clearly so politically affiliated they cannot face reality.
I'd be in hiding too if I my policies had destroyed the economy and reputation of the finest country on the planet.
The economic problems started as far back as the 1970's or earlier with each successive president kicking the can further down the road. Both political parties have thier fingerprints all over this one....and even the years of faux prosperity under Reagan and Clinton were done with debt (public in the former case, private in the latter).
Bush I actually tried to rein the beast in, cut spending...increased taxes...and we the people called him an idiot for being fiscally responsible....and here we are today.

Obama still farms out torture to other countries, he assasinated Bin laden and a US citizen and gave guns to the Mexican drug cartel.
The depth of economic destruction by Obama's hand makes GWB look like a miser.
Seems GWB had a coalition of more countries and Dems to support his actions than Obama ever had.
GWB has exhibited far more humanity than Obama could ever muster. GWB made huge humanitarian effforts in Africa to fight HIV epidemic. If that was Obama he would be awarded another nobel peace prize.
GWB was endorsed by the Dahli Lama, Obama was endorsed by Chavez and Amadinajad. Putin owns Obama.
GWB never published and 'enemies list' or had a union leader encourage the members to 'take out' their enemies. 'Take out' is a commonly used term meaning assassinate, kill, rub out someone in case you wonder. You know, the type of rhetoric Pelosi worried would lead to violence. Like the wall st pros pelosi and obama have endorsed.
GWB did not 'allow' the 9.11 attack. If that was the case Obama would have to be responsible for everything that happened under his watch.
You know, like the times square bomber and the fruit of the loom bomber. Yes, both bombs were ignited and failed to go off. No one prevented those bombings. The bombs failed to explode. that counts as two occurrences of terrorism. Then if you classify the fort hood terrorist attack as 'workplace violence' as Obama and company tried to do as well as ignore the recruiter who was shot and killed by a terrorist in ? Kentucky?. We see Obama saving the USA by the heavy use of rhetoric and luck and a lap dog USAG who would rather attack state legislation than provide assistance.
If you think GWB is in exile, wait until november 2012 and see how deep obama goes to avoid to hide from his embarassing tenure as president.
His tenure will be discounted by history and the next president will assume obama's number in the order of US presidents as he didn't really count as he abstains from self blame and assumed no responsibility.
And people forget that the Bush admin did make overtures to rein in Fannie and Freddie, but were steamrolled by people like Barney Frank and Maxine 'Mad Max' Waters. At the time most people saw the housing boom as a wonderful thing. The perception among most homeowners was that it was making them rich. In retrospect we now can see that the Bush admin was really trying to do the right thing, but rarely gets credit.
And by the same token much of the housing bubble was traceable to the Clinton admin, who were staunch allies of Fannie CEO James Johnson (later replaced by Clinton crony Frank Raines). Yeah the same Bill Clinton who now is so often portrayed as some kind of economic saint by Dem partisans.
He's a drug addicted, draft dodging criminal. Even the repukes aren't dumb enough to deal with him, even though they were dumb enough to vote for him.
...that should get you a "9" on most peoples' stupid scale.....
