Bush did what he did for the safety and security of the country, politics be damned.. Obama did what he did for the agenda of the Democratic Party, the country and the American people be damned. That's the difference that makes ALL the difference... some folks on the left said the same of bush in '09, and it's just as much garbage now as it was then.
