Not exactly. Neither Obama nor Bush has it as a formal position. But Bush has indeed made the government bigger (in real per capita terms, and I think also as a percentage of GDP, nominal dollar terms goes without saying) But Obama's proposals would extend this even further and faster. Of course he could be lying about his policy ideas in order to pick up support in the Democratic primaries and caucuses. Or maybe he's honestly saying what he wants to do, but the attempt will fail. But then I don't think "vote for Obama, he's not really going to do what he says he'll do", or "vote for Obama, don't worry about his proposals he'll never get them passed" is exactly inspiring. OTOH I do know of at least one blogger who supports Obama, and partially relies on the justifications I mention above, so you never know...
