Sadly, he is Bush light.
Bush never would have ensured that every American had a right to contraceptives. Qute telling about the myth, the man, the legend in office as I hold back the tears of joy knowing that we all gained quite substantially from this administration...
Obama has governed more moderately on economic issues than what he campaigned on. However, when it comes to civil liberties and foreign policy issues I can barely see a difference between him and Bush. Obama has not made an effort to repeal the Patriot Act did not close Gitmo, allowed the DEA to increase raids on medical marijuana dispensaries in states where it is legal, carry out assassinations on US citizens without due process, continue the wars as Bush would have, deported a record number of illegal immigrants three years in a row, and generally continue the unconstitutional executive power-grabs that his predecessor did. Obama campaigned on change, but I cannot see it.
Yeah but he's got a real nice lay-up and I like his singing.

I would ask you to look at the obstruction and resistance to the changes he has tried to impliment and notice who the obstructionists are. A quarterback can't win a game by himself. First, Americans vote him in to do what he said he would do. Then they vote in the people, not much later later, who make that job all but impossible. I blame the people, and the obstructionists they voted in to congress, more than I blame the president.
There's truth to your statement too, if people wanted change did they really expect it to happen in two years? Then they put the t-baggers in and nothing at all happens. Still Obama has caved on some ridiculous issues that makes him alot like Bush.
