20 ways Obama is like Bush?

Is this the Republican Party's new strategy? Instead of comparing Obama's name to that of Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, they're trying to say Obama is going to be another Bush? (I'm really tired of not being able to paste here. You'd think having such a low postcount after being on this site as long as I have that I'm not a spammer.) The writer of that commentary/opinion works for the Washington Times and has worked for the Republican National Committee. This is just a new scare tactic.

Interesting article though I'm not particularly surprised. I have been saying previously on MyLot that Obama is not the arch-liberal that he is often portrayed as being. He is a politician and he has shown that he is willing to trim to the centre, and sometimes even to the right, to get elected. So if liberals think that Obama will simply follow their viewpoint on each and every occasion, they will be mistaken. Also, in politics, we should remember that there is often agreement but it is the things that we disagree on that generate the most heat, if not much light. And if those things are big things - like going to war in Iraq - that can obscure much else. The article therefore shows that there are a number of points of agreement between Obama and Bush, but that of itself does not demonstrate that Obama IS Bush - after all, on a big thing, the war in Iraq, he opposed Bush and I notice that the article made hardly any reference to foreign policy, this not surprisingly because it is in that area where the difference between Obama and Bush is considerable. Also, though I understand Obama has voted with Bush 40% of the time, that is not McCain's 90% of the time. And 40% support means that Obama voted against Bush 60% of the time. So one can conclude that if one is dissatisfied with Bush's policies over the last 8 years and McCain has voted for these policies 9 times out of 10 whilst Obama has voted for these policies 4 times out of 10, then one could arrive at the logical deduction that Obama is more different to Bush than McCain is and then vote accordingly.

I'm always surprised when people believe what the candidates say! I do think Washington will not be changing anytime real soon. The voting records are really all we have to go on, not what we are told by the candidates and the media.

Nice article. Watch out though. I posted a similar article a while back and got reamed by Obama's minions who insisted that everything Bush stands for and everything he's ever done is evil and it was a crime for me to show similarities between him and Obama.

It does raise some good points, but a lot of those are a given. If a candidate was not christian, they wouldn't make it this far. I think a lot of these, Mccain also shares, like opposing gay marriage. Some of them I have not heard about, but I wouldn't expect everything to be different if Obama made it. I'm not 100% clear on the politics, but I would think that McCain has way more than 20, with him being a Republican and all. Anyway, let the best man win!

its more like how Mcain is like Bush

Now that list is truly something to keep around when an Obama die hard start the never ending McBush comments. I personally liked number nine about FISA. This is the guy that is a constitutional law professor, yet once again Obama and Bush support something that is unconstitutional. I guess not every constitutional law professor actually knows what the constitution says. Now there is one of those that I must disagree with Tara Wall on. It is about the middle class tax cuts. Just because Obama claims to be for cutting taxes on the middle class does not mean he will do it. Never in Barack's short political career has he every voted for a tax cut. Why now that he wants to become President would he be for a tax cut. When Bill Clinton was governor of my state he raise income taxes, which actually cost him the governorship for a time, then when he ran for President he promised to lower taxes on the middle class. What did President Bill Clinton do, he raised taxes on everyone including the middle class. Why would Obama be any different.

I think that Obama would be a million times over worse then anyone could be. Hes already lying. He has a very bad history by association.It makes no sense to elect someone who already has strong ties to a terrorist.I think he would make Bush look like a walt disney production.

That page is not working

My friend that page has been removed. I think that there were person who doesn't like the contains and voted against it. But in my belief Obama is nothing like Bush.
