No. Not in so many words...but he's the opposite face of the same coin.
When Bush was in office, the 4th Amendment of our Constitution (basically states that it's illegal for the government to search and siege property) was whittled into obscureity...anyone who questioned the PATRIOT act (yes...that's really what they called it), was accused of being a terrorist. "What do you have to hide?" His foreign policy was "kill everyone and ask questions later."
Now the Obama administration is shredding individual liberty for the sake of the "collective good;" from requiring citizens to purchase a service, to dictating the food our children eat. His foreign policy is "apologize to everyone that wants to exterminate us so they will hold hands with us and sing 'Kum Ba Ya'."
Scary stuff...from both of them.
As far as how inept each of them are with basics of law, history, and articulation? I'd say they're equal. Bush knew how many States we have in the Union. Obama knows how to pronounce "nuclear."
Hahaha...not going to question anything else in his post?
Everything he said about Bush doesn't deserve questioning.
Anywhoo..typical left wing banter. Don't need an exact quote or speech, when he probably was alluding to when Obama leaned over towards Putin and said, "we can work something out once this pesky election is over," when he told the middle east that Isreal, our ally, and a people who's targeted by all of its neighbors for extermination, that "they should revert to the 1967 borders," who thinks Chaves isn't a threat...but ok...he might not have stood up and said, "I'm sorry" to someone.
He is, in fact all about regulating how much salt producers can put in condiments, wants power over resturaunts to regulate nutrition standards, and when mayor Bloomberg proposed limiting soft drinks to no more than 16 oz containers, his wife mentioned how great it would be...and that's the model the rest of the nation should follow! Ok..so that wasn't him...but, given precidence, that's the houshold rule.
I wonder why he's seen so differently in your country than outside it. I obviously don't know how your media deals with him and I can't really give you anything except opinion because he's not my leader and I live in a different country.
I will say, though, that when he's been on European soil, he's been quite aggressive about getting the best deal for America. He's been polite about it too, but nonetheless aggressive. This isn't a criticism. I wish our leaders were more like that and got better deals for us.
Bush, on the other hand, completely undermined the U.S. as a country. By choosing him as a figurehead, the rest of the world thought America had taken leave of its senses. And I actually quite like George Bush as a person. He does have qualities worth having. But as a person. Not as a person with any kind of responsibility.
In terms of intelligence, I couldn't even begin to compare the two. I'd certainly challenge anyone saying Obama is unintelligent.
Because sometimes it takes a little effort to find the truth and the extreme right in this country combined with billions of dollars are glad to make the job harder. Its easier for people to let others do their intellectual heavy lifting and accept & repeat the mantra "Obama bad."
Like the billions of dollars the unions pour into Democratic funds? Or...like the billions of dollars GM and Chrysler blew and paid partial back "look that's paid off!"
Or...do you mean the billions in kickbacks and insentives GE gets? Wait! GE is a big corporation...Obama can't be in bed with them!
Buffet and Soros don't support him either. They're evil billionaires. Wait..the Buffet rule says he needs to pay his fair share! Maybe instead of paying his team of corporate lawyers to fight what Berkshire pays while he tells the rest of us "shame! shame!" he could...just pay "his fair share?"
If you honestly believe that the AFL/CIO, UAW, or any other massive conglomerate of mob bosses is "a collection of blue collar workers," incapable of coming up with as much cash as the wealthy...then you are quite simply...gullible.
Telling everyone else to "pay their fair share," while expending every available rescource to avoid doing so oneself...is the epitome of hypocracy. Simply saying it's not...proves that you are either blind, irrational, or both; rendering this entire debate usless.
The country is becoming more & more influenced by international investors, less by the average citizen. But heaven forbid you try to restrict such things, well then, you're branded as un-American and against freedom.
IIN to think Obama...Evil??

In other words, he never apologized for America.
As for the second part of your answer, BFD.

I think I clearly made the point that he did apologize for America.
As for the second part of your answer...that's the best you could come up with? Of course it is. "BFD?" Sit down.
What in the PATRIOT act...exactly...breeches the 4th amendment??

Lol! Pretty much all of it.
I wonder why he's seen so differently in your country than outside it. I obviously don't know how your media deals with him and I can't really give you anything except opinion because he's not my leader and I live in a different country.
I will say, though, that when he's been on European soil, he's been quite aggressive about getting the best deal for America. He's been polite about it too, but nonetheless aggressive. This isn't a criticism. I wish our leaders were more like that and got better deals for us.

A collection of blue collar union workers can't come up with the same amount of cash as a collection of millionaires and billionaires.
The Buffet rule is not law. Also contesting the IRS and their figures doesn't make him guilty of anything.

I have to say, that's the way it looks to me too. I'd find it exceedingly frustrating if I lived there.
