Why does Obama support so many Bush policies?

BHO's budget takes an unexpected sharp left turn. (Though, I don't buy it yet. Seems they started as far left as they could go, without immediate destruction of the markets, to give themselves plenty of space to march back to the middle. Don't blame them. This is good politics.) Still, in many ways Obama is very much the natural successor to Bush 2. Even Keith Olbermann - Barry's loudest salad tossin sycophant - recently did a tentative piece on President Limosine Liberal Love Doll's support of Bush's polices.


With that, here is Rentarainbow's list of GWB policies continued and embraced by BHO. Fake Limo Liberal Obama Pod people - beware: your head may explode at any moment. Please be polite. Read this list away from children, the elderly and normal, thinking people.


Why does Obama support Bush's policies?

by Rentarainbow
----------------------------------------------

To date, we know Obama has RETAINED and supports these Bush policies:

(1) warrantless wiretapping of American citizens

(2) legal immunity for the telecoms giants that spied on us without warrants

(3) still prohibits federal funding of embryonic stem cell research

(4) is continuing the rendition of "enemy" prisoners to foreign countries (where they can be tortured)

(5) has decided prisoners in America's Bagram military prison (in Afghanistan) have NO rights that he must respect

(6) uses the ruse of "state secrets" to terminate trials against those who are accused of torturing prisoners

(7) plans to destroy Social Security while calling it "reforming" Social Security

(8) nominates tax cheats and lobbyists to run government agencies

(9) refuses to allow prisoners in American jails to use DNA evidence to prove their innocence (even if they pay for the tests)

(10) uses fear to get his way by rushing legislation through Congress

(11) without Congressional authorization, Obama has ordered the bombing of a country we are NOT at war with (Pakistan)

(12) is stonewalling media requests for access to court records in the ongoing Guantanamo detainee litigation.
