Are there any good examples through out history of takeovers being disguised as reform?

Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Illyich Lenin, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Dong, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, and many others. All were/are "reformers" and so is Obama.

Well there was Hitler, who was supposedly trying to reform the Weimar Republic after a huge economic depression between WWI and WWII.

With the exception of Adolf Hitler, the only one that comes to mind is 0bama. "Its been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." - Sir Winston

Now the American People have a chance to see what it feels like to live under one of those others that have been tried!

When Hitler took over Germany, he told all of the German citizens that he was going to ethnically cleanse Germany. Then he completely took over everything with the Nazi party, and twisted everything he had said around.

George W Bush said he'd bring honor back to the White House and his dad's buddies on the Supreme Court handed him the presidency.

Nixon reformed campaign rules.

Reagan reformed labor relations with the ATCs.

Bush reformed foreign policy with the Bush doctrine.

Besides the Obama administration...but yes that's China today!

And Nyssa - W. did what he promised! Miss him already!

no, but there are examples of corporate takeovers disguised as wars

BUSSING IS ABOUT AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET.
