I don't think this message is going to sell, that everything Obama does right is what GWB would have done, conservatism.

That's quite a stretch, to say the least.

"Obama reacted the way a US president should, by letting the Navy and FBI act. In this single moment, Obama became Obushma. Because that's how George W. Bush would have acted."

That's the last reference to Bush that's not a play on the spelling of Bush. It has nothing to do with the domestic, economic affairs.

That makes TARP1 and the stimulus package right.

How do you get from the first thing that Obama's done right, deal with terrorists/pirates - a matter of foreign affairs - to TARP1 and the stimulus package which are the domestic affairs of two different presidents?

I know this is the Hannity/Levin message but it sounds lame after the past two years of GWB/Pelosi socialism.

IMHO, you're not paying attention. Hannity and Levin criticized Bush without mercy when it was due going back to Harriet Myers' nomination for the Supreme Court.

In fact it's problematic politically because Obama is not acting as bad as was predicted by talk radio on military related actions.

He's doing what he has to do. Rats are sick of being criticized for being weak in foreign affairs.

RE :”He's doing what he has to do. Rats are sick of being criticized for being weak in foreign affairs.

Seemed obvious to me even 'Nov 1,2008. But the hysteria 'Nov 1' here at FR and on Talk radio predicted the opposite "we would all die". I was pinged many times told “The terrorists would kill us all”. Levin and Hannity were working their listeners into a frenzy. But as you say, they had to protect us, all along. It was all just political spin (I was a Levin/Hannity-bot for a long time too, in Ron Paul recovery now.)

Hear that Paul followers, it was obvious that Obama had to protect us. Everything the "Vote McCain or Die" crowd told us was a lie. To be fair, Obama lied about some of it too, to win against Hillary and get move-on $$$$.
