Pardon me if I'm confused about where our country is headed. Of the things for which President Obama criticized President Bush, Obama is maintaining most of the Bush policies. He promised lots of change. Yes, he gave us ObamaCare and Bin Laden was killed on his watch. But what has he changed in many other areas?
Don't get me wrong, we conservatives are fine with his not changing much. Patriot Act, Iraq, Afghanistan, GITMO, military trials for terrorists, tax rates. We are a bit upset that he's violating The War Powers Act vis a vis Libya. But there are two big problems with his not doing most of what he said he'd do.
It leaves us wondering exactly where he really wants to take our country. We don't like the uncertainty. Having most of a country's citizens totally confused about where our leaders are actually going to take our country is not a good thing.
Liberals and others who voted for him are confusing me too. Why aren't they really, REALLY upset he's not making good on most of his campaign promises? Since you were so mad at Bush for doing pretty much what Obama is doing, why aren't you just as mad at Obama? It looks to us like you really didn't mind Bush's actual policies all that much and only criticized his policies because of blind and irrational hate of him, not because his policies were that much of a concern to you. If the problem actually were his policies I'd expect you to be even more upset that your own man is doing so much of the same thing.
Yes, democrats have one confusing party on their hands. As mad as they were at Bush do they really think what we have now is better leadership? Any leadership at all really?
Here's a good article on this subject:
