How has Obama's actions been different from the policies of the Bush administration besides retoric?

Abortion: Obama has given his blessing to using his health care plan to effectively ban abortions.

Stem Cell research: Obama has continued the Bush policy of banning its funding except for specific cell lines approved by the Federal Government.

Gun Control: Aside from saying things and appointing an attorney general who says things, nothing has been done except scare Americans into buying record amounts of guns and ammo, and getting states scared into banning Federal regualtions of gun/ammo sales.

War: Obama has taken Bush's idea of the surge, and applied it to Afghanistan.

Global Warming: Obama used the Copenhagen Conference to kill the Kyoto agreement that Bush refused to enforce, and additionally, Obama managed to kill the conference by out raging the delegates from developing nations through the use of a paper that outlined a plan to prevent them from ever developing. It looked like Bush at his finest.

If there really is some difference, I would like to hear about it.

Update:

So far, I have seen Obama destroying the constitution, giving America away to his corporate cronies, and showing preference to certain foreign powers over the USA. However, while I can certainly list examples of each of these phenomena, in every case, they are demonstrably continuations of the Bush policies.

Tell me what action Obama has taken that would have been incongruous with Bush policy.

    Obama is just another politician, a pawn of his corporate buddies. But the difference is that Bush actually was loyal to America and Obama seems to be bent on destroying it. Also like Clinton Obama has a shady past.

    As someone else said, the difference would be the allegience to the country. Obama has none, therefore, will not worry about selling us out as much as his predecessor.

    They haven't. The only thing he does differently is his speech making. Bush couldn't string two words together sensibly.. and obama never shuts up!

    Both make me sick!
