Obama looks to move 'forward' with comparisons to Bush's policies - The Hill's Ballot Box:
"The reelection campaign aimed to remind voters about the winning campaign in 2008."
That's all they got. Bush, who left office willingly on January 20, 2009, was not a good president. I think he's a good man and a kind man and did what he thought was right, but he was a bad president. But let me be clear, he was not Nixon. He was not filled with hate, did not punish his enemies with the force of the federal government and tried to work with the other side whenever possible. He doesn't deserve the vitriol he's gotten from this administration, the constant attacks and insults and slights. After four years out of office, the man should be forgiven his errors and the world should move on.
The problem is that Obama has nothing positive to campaign on. The economy is horrible, unemployment is terrible, inflation is rising and we are less respected internationally than when Bush was president. The public doesn't want Obamacare, doesn't want trillion dollars of new debt every year and doesn't want the government to constantly expand.
Yes, we killed Osama, but we used methods of interrogation Obama campaigned against at a facility Obama campaigned to close and a military Obama wants to shrink from bases in a country Obama was against invading. He still took sixteen hours to give the order and gave operational control to an admiral for the express purpose of insulating himself from blame if the operation failed. Was it a gutsy call for Hoover to go after Al Capone? Is it a gutsy call when the FBI goes after a serial killer?
He passed Obamacare which no one wanted and is unconstitutional to boot, he let the military kill Osama and...? His campaign slogan is 'Forward' but there's nothing forward-looking in his policies. New Deal control of the economy, Great Society entitlement expansion and...? We've got five trillion in debt and...?
Forward. I do not think this word means what you think this word means.
