As was scrapping single payer health insurance, extending Bush's tax cuts to the rich, etc. Bush lite, as others have said. The only way you could be happy with him is if you are a republican, or only care that he's a democrat. kj.
Kj, like Dak, you can't deal with the fact that Obama is popular, so you make up reasons to like him, and then go as far as claiming him as your own to the exclusion of others. The vast majority of my friends are Republicans, none of them would agree with the reasons you and others fabricate. During the last election, a small percentage of them voted for Obama because they were sick of how bad a job the Republicans had done for the last several years.
You don't think that the Republican rating has to do with the simple fact that Obama is a more competent president do you?
