Obama = Bush on steroids?
Bede

Posted under Obama

In a conversation today I heard an apt phrase to describe Obama: “Bush on steroids.” Look at the policies. Obama has:

- Increased Bush’s military budget

- Tripled his deficit

- Continued the same suicidal free-trade policies

- Expanded nation-building plans in the Middle East

and

- Indicated that he probably seek an even wider amnesty for illegal aliens.

Any other examples?

    Bush: United Methodist Church
    Obama: United Church of Christ

    Give the UMC 10-20 years, they’ll have caught up with the UCC at the cutting edge of debased, diseased, formerly Christian religion.

    RE: the deficit. Part of that would include Bush’s expansion of Medicare (Part D)/Obama’s bid to nationalize medicine.

    Bush 43: Conservative movement is inconsequential

    Those cheering conservatives will find a revealing moment in a new book, scheduled for release next week, by former White House speechwriter Matt Latimer.

    Latimer is a veteran of conservative politics. An admirer of Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, for whom he worked for several years, Latimer also worked in the Rumsfeld Pentagon before joining the Bush White House in 2007.

    The revealing moment, described in “Speechless: Tales of a White House Survivor,” occurred in the Oval Office in early 2008.

    Bush was preparing to give a speech to the annual meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC. The conference is the event of the year for conservative activists; Republican politicians are required to appear and offer their praise of the conservative movement.

    Latimer got the assignment to write Bush’s speech. Draft in hand, he and a few other writers met with the president in the Oval Office. Bush was decidedly unenthusiastic.

    “What is this movement you keep talking about in the speech?” the president asked Latimer.

    Latimer explained that he meant the conservative movement — the movement that gave rise to groups like CPAC.

    Bush seemed perplexed. Latimer elaborated a bit more. Then Bush leaned forward, with a point to make.

    “Let me tell you something,” the president said. “I whupped Gary Bauer’s ass in 2000. So take out all this movement stuff. There is no movement.”

    Bush seemed to equate the conservative movement — the astonishing growth of conservative political strength that took place in the decades after Barry Goldwater’s disastrous defeat in 1964 — with the fortunes of Bauer, the evangelical Christian activist and former head of the Family Research Council whose 2000 presidential campaign went nowhere.

    Now it was Latimer who looked perplexed. Bush tried to explain.

    “Look, I know this probably sounds arrogant to say,” the president said, “but I redefined the Republican Party.”
