It drives me crazy. To equate Obama to Bush is to insult the man and ignore the truth. Bush started two wars and was alienating the rest of the world. President Obama has wound down those wars and, thanks to him, we have a sane foreign policy. Also, Bush's economic policies were a disaster. Obama has been trying, despite Republican opposition, to build a healthy economy. Just compare their records on women's rights. There is no comparison. Despite the naysayers and haters, President Obama remains committed to moving this country forward and I respect him for that. I come here, to the BOG, for sanity.
