Top Ten Reasons Why President Obama's Policies Are Still Like President Bush, Jr.

1. He believes that habeas corpus (false imprisonment) only applies if we like you. (i.e still wrongly detaining people at guantanamo and immigrant detention camps)
2. He believes that we should drop more bombs not less on innocent civilians with predator drones, just say we're sorry for collateral casualties. (i.e. bombs on pakistan)
3. He believes that a national health care plan does not have to include a public option, and insurance companies are good people.
4. He believes that wall street does not have to be regulated more, actually.
5. He believes that that president does have the right to eavesdrop on American citizens, by any means necessary.
6. He believes that we need less troops, not more to fight a war on foreign soil. (i.e. current state of the war in afghanistan, maybe he too will change his mind.)
7. He believes that the federal fish plan should protect power more than the fish. (effect of plan for the snake river salmon)
8. He reserves the right to waterboard, freeze, deprive of sleep, food and water those whom he deems necessary, but mostly he is against it. (i.e. actual executive position on this issue.)
9. He does not believe that deprival of the right to marry of any two, consenting american adults is a violation of constitutional rights . (i.e. acceptance of civil unions as adequate for homosexuals, effectively recognizing some religious ceremonies and not others)
10. He is an evangelical christian.

ARE WE CLEAR FOLKS? HELLO. READ MORE NOT LESS. THINK OFTEN ABOUT HOW OTHER PEOPLES SEE AMERICANS, NOT HOW WE SEE OTHER PEOPLES.

Don't worry i voted for him too, and i knew all this then ;) Seriously, this is a grey arena. What one says on the campaign trail and what one puts weight behind as president, has always been an issue. Also, I understand that President Obama picks his battles and fighting full front on these issues is not his style. This is merely a commentary on the way things stand today. We shall see where we end up. As a citizen it is our job to mock and cajole until forces align, and then we work towards our common goal of liberty and the pursuit of happiness.....................
