In a sane world any opponent to Obama promising more Bush policies would be down by 40 points

1. In a saner world, Obama himself would stop furthering some of those same policies.

Alas.

[NNN0LHI]

3. Lucky for us we have a President who realizes there are still a lot of Reaganites out there

Enough of them to swing an election.

He realized that when Bush once had a +90% approval rating.

Be better for all of us if it wasn't this way. But he has to play the hand he is dealt.

That is why he will win in November.

8. So when Obama's opponents push Bush policies it's insane

and when Obama does it it's because he realizes there are a lot of Reganites out there and he has to appease them to get votes. Got it.

Oh and 90% approval rating? Yeah for about 2 weeks after 9/11. It had nothing to do with his policies.

[villager]

11. Right! It's less insane when Obama betrays his own electorate!

Welcome to the "alternative!"

[kenny blankenship]

12. So he's pleading insanity now, is he?

[villager]

14. those who think that *his* destruction of the 4th amendment, compared to Bush's, is somehow

..."right," appear to be...

[DCBob]

21. Obama is not pushing Bush policies.

Of course there are going to be areas of overlap especially in regard to the military and national security. Both parties agree in general on that.

It is mind-boggling that after 8 brutal years under the Bush/Cheney regime there are still some on the left who cannot see the profound difference President Obama has brought to the WH.

[SomethingFishy]

23. And to some it's mind boggling how one could bury their head in the sand

and ignore what is going on around them.

So I guess we'll agree to disagree. Unless I'm still boggling your mind...

[UpYourMedsNow]

16. Sure there are alot of Reaganites out there

with MANY as members of the Democratic Party too.

Sad fact but true.

[UpYourMedsNow]

15. +1000000

2. Who is this Bush person about whom you speak? :o)

[wandy]

7. In a science fiction novel, a fable if you wish.....

Their was a character called George W. Bush.
An idiot savant elevated to king by the evil wizard Karl Rove.
A charming sort you might like to have a beer with while he told you stories of 'tarrsts and his great deeds of warring upon people that had little, if nothing to do with 'tarrer.
Today the democratic tribe use the 'shrub' as he was sometimes called, as something of a boggy man. Something to warn their children that might come for them in the night, should they misbehave. But just a bad dream as no such evil could truly exist.
The republican tribe never speak of the 'chimp in king', almost denying his existence.
Still they keep to their covens and tell tails of his greatness.
They mingle his stories with those of the great god RayGuns.
And pray for a great champion that will be more powerfully than both.

4. I 100% agree. I have no idea what is wrong with this country. n-t

[handmade34]

5. in a non-racist world...

[Prophet 451]

6. At the risk of stating the obvious...

...we do not live in a sane world. And Republicans increasingly live in a complete fantasy world.

[msongs]

9. Bush did it = bad, Obama does it = fabulous nt

[Vincardog]

10. In a sane world Obama would not be pushing aWoL's policies further than the shrub did

[opihimoimoi]

13. Obama gonna sweep 40 states...maybe more....this Nov elections

[Octafish]

22. That's what de Hammerhead starin' at the fat guy from Detroit said!

I say it too. How are you, Brodah? How are family and Emergency Crew?

I still laugh till I cry about the Doberman.

17. In a sane world the War Crimes trials of the Past Administration would be finishing up about now

along with the trials of everyone involved in the tanking of the worlds economy.

Instead 'our' government spends its time and resources busting MMJ facilities and uses it power to stop and block all investigations of wrong doing by the previous administration.

Must be the change I voted for, how about you?

[sendero]

18. I don't think of it so much as insanity..

....as I do corruption tolerated by stupidity. With a huge dash of ignorance. Americans don't know what it going on and what little they do know they misinterpret though a lens shaped by decades of propaganda.

[DCBob]

19. I blame it on the increasing influence of Faux newz and other RW media.

They have brain washed/dumbed down a large percent of America. They have created an alternate reality where bad is good, wrong is right, lies are facts... its sickening.

[kentuck]

20. In a sane world.

Yes.
