Obama's attacks on activists is nothing compared to his
attacks on whistle- blowers, which is nothing compared to his human rights
abuses in Gitmo and elsewhere, which is nothing compared to his sending in
Special Forces into scores of foreign countries, which is nothing compared to
his drone bombings in a half dozen or more countries, which is nothing compared
to his escalation of the war in Afghanistan.
And today, we have more troops in Afghanistan than when he started
being President. And many more dead innocent
civilians.
He did follow Bush's agreement to get out of Iraq, although
he tried hard not to. And he followed
Bush's plans for bailing out the financial sector and not fixing any of the
problems there. He has followed Bush's
environmental policies (until August 2012) and has been worse on immigration
policies (until August 2012), but I suspect this is a temporary change of
course.
But he is better on gay rights, and on keeping abortion
legal.
