I'm not a huge fan of Obama, but compared to Bush, well, he is better than Bush in almost every regard, but is that an accomplishment? No, it isn't. It would be hard to be worse than the previous administration. The sad reality is how few conservatives have any concept whatsoever of the legacy of the neocons, one of them being the security state we see today. They have been trained to blame this on Obama, who simply is allowing the apparatus to remain running and not doing a thing to lessen its influence. So he is failing there as well, but conservatives cannot blame him for this.

Because if he did move to lessen its influence, he would be attacked for it by conservatives. You folks are your own worst enemy. You need to learn how to discern real threats from manufactured ones. For you folks, every single action this man takes is makes you hyperventilate with rage. It's quite sad. No matter what he does, you will attack him for it. It is all you know how to do, so don't attack him for leaving things in place that someone you supported has created and is responsible for.
How is oblamer better? Foreign relations? Nope. Boosting the economy? Heck, no. Being sneaky? Maybe, yes.
The guy is a wart, nothing more than a POS experiment that has completely failed, unless you admire his typical demmie tactic of shovelling $$ to the poor, which we know is a last grasp left move that earns votes, thanks to you dipcrap libs that support it.
Nice to hear from yet another poster that hates the right more than he loves his children. Go stand by your mailbox, oblamer check inbound.

Thanks for clarifying Frank, it would have been better if I specified "conservatives" and not directed my comments towards you specifically.

While no fan of Pres. Obama I have to say the angst and vitriol directed towards him by Republicans is almost comical when they all remained silent when their boy Bush spent more money, practiced greater surveillance, and built the security state we live in today.

While that was all going on, they said nothing, other than screaming their support for it while directing their venom towards those who opposed the neocons.

Classic sheep syndrome, Obama is just as bad or even worse than Bush. Not only has he continued the programs, he's expanded them.

Actually, there is strong evidence that the frequent and seemingly countless lies, distortions, gaffes, broken promises and etc from Obama were all done deliberately to even out the playing ground so to speak.

Obama is such a good sport that he realizes that if he didn't lie and break promises that the Republicans would be at such a huge political disadvantage.

So yes, Obama is still perfect and a saint.
