Obama is not worse and he's BARELY an extension of Bush...just stop.
In what ways is he not an extension of Bush?
The executive office continues to expand its power unconstitutionally - it has nothing to do with obama as an individual, it has everything to do with the office.
Every single agency, from the fbi, irs, dea, epa, dept of education, homeland security, and the list goes on - is an uncostitutional expansion of the military. Look at the irs swat raids. Obama is the worst ever - but that doesnt mean he hasnt done a good job. Its merely a function of the expansion of executive power.
The president is the enforcer of the law, the president simply is not what he is supposed to be. This has nothing to do with obama - he would have been great in a congressional leadership role - and Im saying this as someone who doesnt agree with his politics in any way.
The president is simply the enforcer for corporate interests - no one who is in that office can actually do good for the country. It's just not how things are set up. They made an example of JFK - not one president has questioned the status quo since.
