RE :”Obama reacted the way a US president should, by letting the Navy and FBI act. In this single moment, Obama became Obushma. Because that's how George W. Bush would have acted. That's how the British Navy would have acted in its heyday. It's how freedom of the seas has been protected for two centuries..... In the end it's the conservative principles that count, because those principles help us to survive and be a healthy nation in the real world.

I don't think this message is going to sell, that everything Obama does right is what GWB would have done, conservatism. That makes TARP1 and the stimulus package right. I know this is the Hannity/Levin message but it sounds lame after the past two years of GWB/Pelosi socialism.

In fact it's problematic politically because Obama is not acting as bad as was predicted by talk radio on military related actions.

Agreed. It would also make his amnesty program perfectly sensible... which it isn't.

I had trouble reading the whole article ant understanding the author's point.
I lost him at "Obushma" and "Obushmanism"? What does that mean? What is "ma"?

w 43’s scotus nominees are conservative.

but w 43 grew the federal budget.

prescott, 41, and w 43 were always northeast liberal republicans or rinos.

That's quite a stretch, to say the least.

"Obama reacted the way a US president should, by letting the Navy and FBI act. In this single moment, Obama became Obushma. Because that's how George W. Bush would have acted."

That's the last reference to Bush that's not a play on the spelling of Bush. It has nothing to do with the domestic, economic affairs.

That makes TARP1 and the stimulus package right.

How do you get from the first thing that Obama's done right, deal with terrorists/pirates - a matter of foreign affairs - to TARP1 and the stimulus package which are the domestic affairs of two different presidents?

I know this is the Hannity/Levin message but it sounds lame after the past two years of GWB/Pelosi socialism.

IMHO, you're not paying attention. Hannity and Levin criticized Bush without mercy when it was due going back to Harriet Myers' nomination for the Supreme Court.

In fact it's problematic politically because Obama is not acting as bad as was predicted by talk radio on military related actions.

He's doing what he has to do. Rats are sick of being criticized for being weak in foreign affairs.
