and still a welcome relief from Bush

That's the sad part, he's not. In fact, he's worse by every possible stretch of the imagination. If someone had told me 6 years ago that the next president would be worse than Bush, I would have recommended them to be committed to an asylum for the criminally insane. However, like I said, Obama takes the worst parts of the Bush administration (domestic spying, unchecked executive branch, dronings, bombing people, breaches of the War Powers Act, expansions of entitlement programs, bailouts, insane levels of government spending, crony capitalism, money laundering to campaign supporters, ect) and combines it with the worst parts of the Carter Administration (weak Middle East policy, poor economic policy, run away inflation, environmental activism, idealism over practicality, poor education plan, lack of leadership, ect)
