ACA. Withdrawal of combat troops in Iraq. Drone Wars. Bin Laden death.
Add the death of most all the top al queda leaders. And being the first black president, and due to unfounded fears and racism the most hated and disrespected president in history. Reducing the national debt created by the previous admin, although blocked on each and every attempt on everything he has proposed.
ACA. Withdrawal of combat troops in Iraq. Drone Wars. Bin Laden death.
Obama is great at manipulation to make so many think he withdrew out of Iraq. He followed Bush's withdrawal timeline, except the part where we still have 26,000 paid personnel all over the country - most of which in the line of danger.
Bush is no longer President, so you can't bring him up anymore.
Like it or not, Obama ran as the anti-Bush. Obama compared himself to Bush when he ran for president - you can't cry over this comparison. Plus presidents are compared to one another typically.
Obama = Bush in so many ways.
Obama's legacy - his foreign policy:
-Bombed more countries than Bush
-More drones in more countries than Bush
-Escalated the Afghanistan War with 3/4ths of the deaths on his watch
-Faked an ending to the Iraq War, 26,000 paid military still there today, extending it past Bush's timeline of withdrawal
-More special forces operations in more countries seeing action than in Bush
-More military bases around the world in non-war zones than Bush
-Estimated thousands of civilians killed by drone strikes adding up several countries
-Renewed Patriot Act
-NSA
-Waffling on Syria and mixed messages
-Deliberately avoiding a congressional vote to bomb Libya, despite previously saying that such actions were illegal
-Having no idea that we were spying on Merkel, despite the WH having gave it the okay

A) He initially campaigned on pulling them out sooner B) He followed Bush's withdrawal timeline C) as of today 10/31/13 we still have 26,000 paid personnel in Iraq, the spin article makes it seem like we have 0 there -- 26,000 is far more than Bush had scheduled to stay.
Yah, as noted, the OP asked and he got a response. Glad you noticed.

Sounds like this Obama is pretty bad at being a liberal, eh?
