Obama is Doing Many of the Things Bush Did...

54. well they both breathe, and eat, and defecate

and shower and brush their teeth and wear pants, socks, shoes, and ties.

And so on. They both golf and fly around in AirForce One, etc.

On a more substantive note. They both signed into law massive tax cuts that favor the rich. Bush's expired in ten years. Obama's are permanent. They both lied and claimed that the tax cuts they signed were for the middle class, the poor, and the economy.

They both defended their trickle-down policies like this

"I look forward to signing the economic recovery bill soon. The principle of the bill is pretty simple, that we believe the more money people have in their pockets, the more likely it is somebody is going to be able to find work in America. In other words, the more money somebody has, it means somebody is more likely to demand a good or a service, which means somebody will produce a good or a service, which means somebody is likely to find work." George W. Bush May 22, 2003

"In my judgment, and the judgment of a lot of economists -- and the truth of the matter is, it's now become kind of the common wisdom in Washington, D.C. -- the best way to create growth is to let people keep more of their own money." (Applause.) George W. Bush May 2, 2003

Obama - "We need to begin by extending tax cuts for middle-class families so that you have more money in your paychecks next year. If you’ve got more money in your paycheck, you’re more likely to spend it. And that means small businesses and medium-sized businesses and large businesses will all have more customers. That means they’ll be in a better position to hire."

Graham probably commended Obama for that whereas I condemn Obama for it. I was hoping for much better. Better rhetoric and better policies.
