Gee, Maybe Bush Wasn’t As Stupid As They Thought

While campaigning, Obama joined other lefties in soundly criticizing Bush for most every move he made. Now it seems Obama is having second thoughts on a lot of Bush policies and realizing that Bush was actually right on many things.

First he decided to change course and block release of the pictures of prisoner treatment. He said this decision was based on the fact that release of the photos might endanger US troops. That is exactly what Bush said.

Now Obama is considering keeping terrorists imprisoned indefinitely without trial. Other than they won’t be physically located at Gitmo, how is this different from Bush’s policy? Bringing them to American soil makes it much more murky, with terrorists likely using lawyers to claim rights they are not due. That’s why they were being held in Gitmo. But Obama stepped in it and promised to close Gitmo. Now he has to figure out what to do with the terrorists.

Face it, Mr. Obama. Bush was smarter than you gave him credit for being.
