21. Are you seriously asking if I can dispute Scahill's claim that Obama is worse than Bush?

And Cheney, McCain, and Romney? Because that makes me wonder if you're clear on the views members are expected to bring to this discussion. See if this helps:

Democratic Underground is an online community for politically liberal people who understand the importance of working within the system to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of political office. Teabaggers, Neo-cons, Dittoheads, Paulites, Freepers, Birthers, and right-wingers in general are not welcome here. Neither are certain extreme-fringe left-wingers, including advocates of violent political/social change, hard-line communists, terrorist-apologists, America-haters, kooks, crackpots, LaRouchies, and the like.


Obama is not worse than Bush, no. If that isn't obvious to you, this isn't really something I can help you with.

I'm sure the White House would prefer the focus be on her rather than the drone policy. morningfog May 2013 #12
