How Obama Became a Civil Libertarian's Nightmare: He Expanded Many Of Bush's Worst Policies

43. Right,

"There are far too many of Obama's policies that are merely slightly revised Bush-era policies. To say otherwise is simply foolish."

...one of the most hilarious things to watch is the new found concern about the "useless" Dodd-Frank bill. I mean, it was a complete sellout to Wall Street until lobbyists started pushing to dismantle it. Now every report in the rule-making process is weakening a good provision in a bill that was deemed completely useless.

You know, one could spend a lot of time repeatedly debunking most of this nonsense, but what would be the point? People are determined to believe whatever until it's convenient not to do so.

The RW spend a lot of time spinning because they know it takes time to debunk spin. The tactics of mischaracterizing everything Obama does as the same or worse than Bush is no different. Nothing about the reality of the situation (see Guantanamo). Nothing about the positive steps. The whole point is to portray Obama as wanting these things to happens, regardless of what he says or tries to do. If he fails, it's because that's what he secretly wanted.

Oh brother.
