Do I miss George Bush?

From the Los Angeles Times:

WASHINGTON - In a rare public tribute to his predecessor, President Obama unveiled the formal White House portrait of George W. Bush on Thursday, praising his "strength and resolve" after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Obama recalled the sight of Bush standing atop the rubble at ground zero, "bullhorn in hand," conveying strength not only to the American people but, on behalf of the country, to the wider world.

Yes, it is nice to put politics aside, but we all know the real reason Obama is praising Bush. It's because Obama and Bush are much alike. It might have been Bush who began to break our Constitution, but it is Obama who is putting the final touches on that dastardly deed. Call Obama whatever you want. Some call Obama a Liberal, some call him a centrist, and a few crazies even call him a Kenyan who stole the office. But they are all way off the mark. Barack Obama is really George W. Bush on steroids. Bush might have gone to extremes to twist and mangle the Constitution, but Obama has taken it to new heights that Bush would never have imagined, not even in his wildest wet dreams. When Bush was in office, I often said that he represented all that was wrong with our government. Now that Obama has had a 4 year track record in that office, I can say with confidence that he has definitely outdone Bush when it comes to erosion of our civil liberties.

Remember the poster of George Bush that says "Miss me yet"? Oh yes, I remember it, and guess what? I do miss Bush, not because he stood for the Constitution, but only because he mangled it less than Obama has done.
