^^^ CB: The Depression had not been overcome by the time of Roosevelt's second election, his programs had not started to give relief, yet FDR got re-elected. Obama isn't emulating the Bush Administration. That's idiotic ultra-left slander, which is getting more and more dangerous as we reach 2012. We are scheduled to have all troops out of Iraq by the end of the year. Obama has appointed many liberals to federal courts and agencies. Obama got a pay equity for women and healthcare laws passed. Bush didn't even consider anything like that. You all are getting so stupified in your anti-Obama rhetoric it's ridiculous.
