Especially in foreign policy, the more things "change", the more things stay the same.

As we have mentioned before, the single most remarkable thing about Obama’s foreign policy is how consistent it is with the policies of former President George W. Bush. Still, it is worth pausing to note how little Obama has deviated from the Bush foreign policy.

First, instead of ordering an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, he adopted the Bush administration’s policy of a staged withdrawal keyed to political stabilization and the development of Iraqi security forces. While he tweaked the timeline on the withdrawal, the basic strategy remained intact. Indeed, he retained Bush’s defense secretary, Robert Gates, to oversee the withdrawal. Second, he increased the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

Read the whole article. It's chock full of Bush policies that Obama has continued.

WASHINGTON – Education Secretary Arne Duncan is joining forces with two unlikely allies, the Rev. Al Sharpton and Republican former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, to push cities to fix failing schools. The trio will visit Philadelphia, New Orleans and Baltimore later this year. They plan to add more stops as their tour progresses.

TG: But, but, Newt Gingrich is a conservative Republican, isn't he?

The president has vowed to make the United States the world leader in the number of people who graduate from college.

TG: That means they have to make the requirements easier again. Then they wonder why our kids keep getting dumber (but they are trained to be cogs in the machine).

Now this is from the left. See how close together we are on not only this issue, but others of Obama's actions as well? Stay united, do NOT under any circumstances buy into the "right/left" paradigm and let these corrupt sociopaths off the hook.
