  You're right. Bush didn't live up to his campaign promises of 2000. He had a platform of limited government and a non-interventionist foreign policy. People should have figured out that he had lied or changed his mind by the time he was up for re-election.

  Obama has done nothing but carry on (and progress) Bush policy. He reauthorized the PATRIOT Act, raised the debt ceiling, continued fighting unconstitutional wars and started fighting a new war without congressional approval.

  All of these are things that Obama has at one time stated that he opposed. In my opinion, he is George W Bush II.

  (also note that the Tea Party was the only voice in Congress to oppose the PATRIOT Act)
