No Change from Bush to Obama
So where is this change we hear about with Obama? A lot of those on the far left are worried about Obama not being as liberal as he promised. But when I speak of the lack of change, I am also talking about Bush’s liberalisms not just about Obama not having any new ideas.
Bush while being somewhat of an ally of Israel denied Israel the ability to stop Iran. And now the Bush team only abstained from the vote at the UN against Israels operation in Gaza. Bush denies that they were initally going to vote for it but it seems that Condi Rice was the one that iniated the resolution. Obama will likely support Israel a little but will also probably handcuff them from doing some of the things they need to do.
Obama said he would bring the troops home from Iraq but now that there is basically a specific date for our complete pullout in three years Obama couldn’t do it much faster if he wanted to.
Obama planned to close the Guantanamo prison for terrorists but now that maybe it’s more obvios that there isn’t any better place to send them that he might not be able to do that right away.
Bush and Obama both worked and are working on bailing out everything. And now Obama may realize that some of his other promises might not be feasible either.
Bush at the end however seems to be showing that he clearly has no idea how a free market economy works and that he is not conservative at all on a fiscal level. Conservatives knew this for quite a while but Bush isn’t hiding it anymore.

I think that this post says something to people on every side of the political spectrum. You can scream till you’re blue in the face about how the problem with politics is the other side, but the fact is that the problem with politics is that it’s done by politicians. While I don’t agree with your agenda, I couldn’t agree more with the frustration with an absolutely broken system.
