So does Obama do whatever Bush tells him to do?

Is this what happened with the re-authorization of the patriot act?: Obama did not want to sign it back into law but Bush called and ordered Obama to do it. So Obama did it because he can't stand up to Bush."

Is that the reason Obama signed the patriot act back into law?

BQ: How is it that Bush has complete power over Obama since he is forcing Obama to continue all of his policies?

    That Must be the case.

    Every time something goes wrong and Obama gets caught Obama says he had nothing to do with Anything!

    The Government is unmanaged or is being managed by some hidden entity. It certainly Can't be Obama's fault can it?

    Okay, lets add Gitmo to that list of Bush favorites that Obama has allowed Bush to keep in operation.

    LOL

    We should not ignore Congress. Even Bush was doing okay until the Democrats took over Congress in January 2007. The only change that has really helped at all is the Tea Party Patriots added to Congress in 2011. At least they have served to Slow the increase in Debt and they point out the Administration's abuses of Power (to the chagrin of the RINOs).

    Or, maybe Obama realizes that some of the policies he was originally against actually make sense, or are a necessity now that he is the one dealing with all of our nation's problems. I think we like to hate, on Bush or Obama, because we have zero clue as to how difficult being a President really is. And I wonder if people actually know what the Patriot Act is, and whether it actually affects the average citizen.

    I say this as an independent, so that you don't think I am biased toward a certain political party or view.

    Hahahaha! Great! It does seem as if the Bush legacy does continue through Obama. Just should show (but somehow lefties do not notice, maybe cuz they cant see past the end of their upturned noses) that Obama supporters are blinded by his feeble lies and his ineptness. I actually used to think some lefties had a modicum of original thought and intelligence, but I have woken up from that delusion. It would be nice, Maryjane, if they could wake up from theirs. I have to chuckle when I see some of these neocons answer your questions. Their hypocrisy is amazing.

    Uhmmmm/ intriguing. I know Chileans that took to the streets in protest of their President Salvador Allende who was once the president of Chile from 1970 unless 1973. The American CIA as well as President Nixon, who straight push $10 million towards propaganda in Chile, destroyed a government and a nation on the grounds that they were deemed not pleasant to the USA. The situation is very similar to that which is concentrated upon Iran at present. The build as much as the coup in Chile was similar to the pursuits in Iran in these days. Of direction, i will be able to handiest communicate from the point of view of an outsider. Nonetheless, residing within Chile on the time one could now not relatively recognize what the US was up to. The same style of factor occurred to Chavez of Venezuela in our contemporary history. Nevertheless, Chavez used to be rescued by using the folks taking to the streets. If you happen to don't forget, Chavez was kidnapped and the leaders of the coup positioned a new government in Venezuela. Fortunately Chavez was once rescued by way of the negative and not often obvious of Venezuela and he has continued to be a powerful voice against the American hypocrisy. Back to Iran. We've noticeable the identical rhetoric espoused through the americans about President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. I don't know adequate about this president to advise that he is good or unhealthy because the Iranian chief. This isn't for me to come to a decision. The ideas I do have, though, is how similar these movements in Iran to other countries hated via the U.S.. The CIA terrorists tend to work out the identical scenario over and over. On the other hand, the west has been fed know-how (genuine or false) that the polls building up to the election had been strongly in favour of President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad profitable the election. I do not know much about Ahmedinejad so I can't remark on him. Sure it's stupid that the entire world hangs onto every word of an American president. It's in order that stupid. They have got most effective been a vigor for 50 years and they are already going down the bathroom. America does no longer galvanize me although it does depress me that the world won't stand strong against their imperialistic perspective. I can't consider of any person, given vigor, that has been wherever just about being as stupid as ignorant as President GW Bush. Nevertheless, I do don't forget that GW Bush's father when president a snapshot of him it "It can not occur right here" printed across his forehead.

    Obama is pretty much the same as Bush, except Obama doubled down on his polices and made them even more Fascist.

    Simple answer is no. Obama makes up his own mind. Unlike Bush, he likes to be informed before making a decision.

    To hear liberals describe it Bush and a coalition of ATM machines have a mind control beam they use on Obama prior to his policies imploding and hurting the American people.

    I think you don't understand how the law works. The President can not simply will things undone. Thats why Guantanamo is still operating.
