Amos,

"Unlike Bush he is not resorting to insane violence or cronyism, is not performing in secret, and is not hiding either is decisions or his rationale from the people it will effect."

I do not think the violence that Bush "resorted " to was insane- if it had been Clinton, he would have sent over cruise missiles before even talking to the UN ( BAsed on Clinton's actions while president).

As for cronyism, I see far more in the present administration than was in the Bush one. Obama made great promises about having the legislation available for all to see for 48 hours before votes- then pushed votes through when even congresscritters had not had the chance to read what they were voting on. How long will you claim that the problems are "all Bush's fault" when the Obama administration is taking suc major actions, whithout either accountability or oversight?

You said you would be as observant of Obama as you were of Bush- but I cannot see that- EVERY criticsm of Obama is met with a blanket denial, regardless of the facts.

If in acting half as adversarial to Obama as you were to Bush is something you find to be objectionable, why do you think that those who disagree with you were NOT supposed to find YOUR efforts to be offensive?

You "can not make an informed judgment. (you) see a lot of hypotheticals and dire predictions being used as rhetorical devices, but few actual data points being offered. "

Sort of like what we saw in much ( not all, but much) of your comments about Bush.
