He was an establishment Republican (read: Democrat Lite), not an actual Conservative.

But Obama is 50 times worse.

Neither of the two major parties truly believes in limited government. They may disagree on where the expansion or involvement needs to take place, but even there you still see a lot of overlap (e.g. military spending).
