“Bush was better than Obama, but not very much.”
No, Bush was worse than Obama, because Bush nearly killed conservatism in the United States. If McCain would have won the 2008 election, then conservatism would by now have been a dead letter.
Obama, unlike Bush, carries his Liberalism openly. It is possible to rally opposition against Obama, which means that the traditional American nation might not go quietly into the night. We might lose of course, but at least there is a chance of organizing an opposition before it is too late.
Bush, on the other hand, was whispering sweet nothings into the ear of America as he transformed “conservatism” into an ideology of open borders, nation-building in Islamic lands, multiculturalism, forced lending to the “disadvantaged” and of course deficit spending up the whazoo.
And of course, the primary reason that we even have a president named “Obama” in office is spelled “B-u-s-h”.

This discussion reminds me of the “bring em on” comments early in Iraq. In days of old when the King actually led men into battle I would accept those comments as real bravado, but not when they are made by someone thousands of miles and far removed from combat. I say the same about the good pastor.
