They hesitate, or sidestep, because it is too obvious that Obama is only strengthening so many of the policies they attacked Bush for.
Bush got a whole foot in this door and Obama is kicking it wide open.

Then let's hope that Obama gets around to dismantling it soon.

Ha! There's one there! As if there was a guy named Bush that had his own personal agenda, did these things, along comes Obama, self-directed and altogether different, to undo the Bush damage. That is simply not what has gone down. And there are many who rigidly cling to the illusion.
Hey,darkforce,......Obama is taking us to the same place. But with more bells and whistles that many anti-Constitution or anti-tradition, culture, or sovereignity folk can appreciate, just to diveret attention from the actual goings on.

by James Baldwin:

Your sarcasm aside, why don't you actually take a look at what Obama's doing on the whole, rather than cherry-picking individual actions (typical of the right-wing nutbars). He is only using those powers in the course of attempting to dismantle the unholy mess that Bush did. Do you think it only takes his say-so to shut down Guantanimo, for example? If you think so, then you're hopelessly naîve. The Republicans have systematically given the Military Industrial Complex a disturbing amount of power, and it takes a lot of time and red tape to nip the opposition in the bud and carry through.

Now, if you have anything relevant to his policies as a whole, rather than just pulling a "Gotcha!" on i...

Now, if you have anything relevant to his policies as a whole, rather than just pulling a "Gotcha!" on individual steps in the process, then feel free to post them.
