Reply #287: It is not a very small slice of the left - it is a non-existant slice of the left.

There are many, many people who rightfully decry Obama's continuing Bush policies - and NONE of them are saying "he is just like Bush".

And where is this 'large majority' of liberal approval for Obama? Do a 'large majority' of liberals approve of extraordinary rendition? Do a 'large majority' approve of keeping Gitmo open long after the 1 year closing date Obama set? Do a 'large majority' appreciate single payer being excised from the health care debate before it even started?

I suspect that a large majority believe he is better than Bush - but maybe 'better than Bush' is not quite enough.
