Obama is George Bush Clone

Obama is a Closet Republic/George Bush Clone


I was going to put this in the “News” forum, but over there no one considered it to be news. Next I tried “Issues”, but Boon Mee thought this was a racially motivated attack to besmirch George Bush's “good” name and not really an issue (at least that's what he heard of Fox News). So here goes, and hoping a mod doesn't move this to MKP.


Proof that President Obama is really a Republican:


He continued Bush's Iraq War, and is closing it out on Bush's announced schedule.


He continued and expanded Bush's War in Afghanistan.


He has kept Guantanamo prison and is using military tribunals.


He has continued and increased drone attacks on suspected terrorist.


He accepted hundreds of millions of dollars from the US financial services industry (as campaign contributions), kept Bush's financial policies and advisors, and gave billions in bailout back to the financial services industry.


He continues to spend tax money faster than it can be collected.


He took Republican Mitt Romney's health care plan, and renamed in “Obamacare”.


He talks patronizingly to black people.


Now, if he would just move to Texas, have his skin bleached and get a lobotomy, he would be the perfect neo-conservative Republican.

he is not a Bush clone, he simply got corrupted by the Bush crowd and his followers

[Rural Surin]

They essentially belong to the same club, don't they?
People are fooled easily.

[Borey the Bald]

It seems, to me, to be all about money and influence (corruption).

[misskit]

Seems that the Republican-Democrat divide is just a show.

Like watching the WWE wrestling championships.

So what is the alternative...?

[Borey the Bald]

That's the problem in our current political situation. It's a choice between bad candidates or worse candidates. There are no good alternatives.

In my old age, I sure have gotten cynical.

Are you still a fringe candidate when you pull in more than half of all votes? Just ask Ron Paul.
Even with the establishment cringing at his libertarian leanings and his ideas otherwise radical for a Republican candidate, Congressman Paul received nearly 54 percent of the votes in an Ohio straw poll over the weekend.
The Ohio Republican straw poll was held in the Buckeye State on Saturday, and the majority of the votes cast went to the Texas congressman who continues to show both success and support in his race for the GOP nomination, despite little attention from the mainstream media.
While news outlets have largely focused in recent weeks on the surging popularity of Herman Cain, the pizzaman only raked in nearly half of what Paul got in the straw poll. Following Paul’s first place victory, Cain came in second with around 26 percent of the votes. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney received around 9 percent, giving him a third place standing. Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, came in fourth.
Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann, both considered top tier candidates earlier in the race, each received less than 5 percent of the vote. In recent weeks their popularity among Republican voters has shown extreme signs of decline.
Paul’s success continues to soar, although he has still not received the same media coverage favored for other Republican hopefuls. In an interview with Alex Jones’ Inforwars last month, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura offered his support for the candidate. “Ron Paul can win. It’s out there. All you got to do is activate and get the silent voters out to vote,” said Ventura. “You have to give them a reason to see their vote.”
Former Presidential candidate Ralph Nader also noted the lack of press being given to Paul, despite his popular ideas and grassroots backing. “He ought to get more attention, instead of ten times more attention being given to Michele Bachmann,” Nader told CNN.
As the American economy becomes a hot topic among politicians vying for the GOP bid, earlier this month Paul revealed his Restore America plan, which he says would cut spending by $1 trillion during his first year in the White House. The program would put an axe to foreign aid and regulations, as well as see a massive decrease in the presidential salary.
His victory in Ohio over the weekend adds to an already impressive list of straw poll wins for Ron Paul. Previously he has taken first place in polls in California, South Carolina and the Values Voter Summit straw poll in Washington.

The fact is that the American political spectrum is to narrow and is skewed to the right. Both parties serve the same master (corporations) and at the end of the day must submit to the hand that feeds them. Lets face the reality America is a corporate oligarchy. The will of the people is bought and sold.

Why, that's where it belongs.

I am sure it is only a matter of time before boontard spams this thread with his moronic cut and pastes.

No quality person would really want the job of Potus, unless there is something fundamentally wrong with them.
All hail Obama for being the first half black to get elected, but really he's a totally forgettable person.
Potus is just a talking head, but not even paid as much as a Fox 'news' guy, not even as much as a Foxbot.

[misskit]

^Remember the joke?

Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for NOT being George Bush.

[Don Ho]

If he's a clone why do so many people that voted for Bush, twice, hate Obama so much? Ooooh....

[Breny]
