>>1. Policywise, and perhaps even in core beliefs, George W. Bush and Barack Obama are for practical purposes, nearly the same.<<

Sure, that's why he pushed the Affordable Care Act through, and got rid of Don't Ask Don't Tell. And that's why he handled the situation in Libya the way he did, having France and Germany take the lead. That must be why he fought so hard to extend unemployment benefits. Bush would have done all those things exactly the same way.

I'm only scratching the surface. There are lots of other examples.

WR, Obama may not be as liberal as you want him to be, but saying his policies are nearly identical to Bush's is to ignore the many differences between the two.
