How about a list of what he's overturned or shut down? Very short list I'm sure.

I honestly can't think of anything.

Patriot act, wiretapping, secret prisions, military tribunals. Obama lied his way into office, end of story.

Recently Obama has made his own, they are pushing for reading email header lines and we can now kill an American citizen w/o trial.

Obama is no better than Bush on this in fact he is doing just as bad if not worse.

No he has added assassination of American citizens and reading emails. These crooks need to be locked up.

I'll point out my post (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showpost.php?p=2645196&postcount=16) on the thread ... I like it because most of the supporting links are from liberal sources.

These lists could use some updates. There's been more since then.

According to Rand Paul in his speech before the Fancy Farm. The Bush administration added 10,000+ regulations.

Obama's Change® was actually Lots More of the Same borrowing, spending and printing, corporatism, bailouts, stimuli, big government, de-industrialization, assaults on the Constitution, and perpetual war.

The only real difference is, Obama is giving us higher taxes.

That said, Bush was a better socialist than Obama (http://aynrkey.blogspot.com/2009/10/bush-socialist-obama-fascist.html) will ever be.

Bush gave us Medicare part D, Obama gives us even more big government healthcare (Obamacare). Both equal more entitlement spending.

Not much difference between Bush and Obama.

Lobbyists continue to have just as much (if not more) influence. Pre-emptive war. Taking lots of vacations using taxpayer money. Heaps of foreign aid to countries that don't need it for political purposes (Egypt, Israel, etc.) Refuses to investigate any of our criminal behavior in the wars. Refuses to declare war. Lack of accountability (no "buck stops here" notions.)

Oh, and of course, he's mostly a figurehead. Like Bush, he ain't running shit.

ohhhh handy! Thanks. I could see this as a good slimjim.

I just realized something. Ron Paul could win New Hampshire in 2012. There will be no D primary. We could get a ton of independent voters to vote against the wars and for Ron Paul.
