""If you compare Obama with George W. Bush (okay -- a low bar), Obama wins, hands down.""
and if you are a hard lefty acolyte. "" Unlike Bush, Obama inhabits the reality-based foreign policy space, with no apologies."" If you consider Obama's alternate reality the "reality". "" Unlike Bush, he has no messianic zealots among his advisers."" That would be awkward in Obama's case since he is the Messiah  ""He gives the kind of well-considered responses that suggest a president who carefully engages with truly difficult policy conundrums."" So say the supplicants that surround him, what say you.

Would that all of this were true. We live in a dangerous world, full of vicious JVs like ISIS, so recently put down by the president. The barbarians are at the gate but are not visible to the president with his rose colored glasses. (By that I am referring to the international villains, not the republicans) That is not  to say the republicans are not threatening to sweep Obama and all his works into the dust bin of history.

But enough of this, the progressive not arguments are repetitive and tiring, We have some gate storming to do.
