John, I want you to list very carefully the actions that Obama continued from Bush.

The bloated quite costly MIC
Low tax rates and policies that favor the rich..
Out of control federal reserve continuing to micromanage the economy and create asset bubbles
Big federal deficits
Guintanamo Bay remaining open
Continued NSA illegal intrusion into our privacy
hyperpartisan divided government

I can never understand why 1 and 2 were not reversed in a major way by now. Number 3 was needed most of his first term but depression has been off the table for several years now. Number 4 was needed we are growing out nicely from the big hole. 5-6 are not as big deal to me either way as we have much bigger fish to fry.

Number 7 really concerns me it keeps getting worse. It takes two to tango and Obama never made the effort to get to personally know members in Congress even most in his own party. Maybe all the old farts of both parties need so far out of touch should get the boot and give more younger boomers and gen X a chance now.. The bickering between Pelosi/.Reid vs McConnel/Boehner started well before Obama became president.

BTW I think it would all be worse today looking into my "it's a Wonderful Life" crystal ball we had a prez McCain or prez Romney the past 5+ years
