The five Bush "Sins"

I asked some buddies last week on what liberals believed are the five worst sins of the Bush presidency.

They were in no particular order.

1) Domestic wire taps
2) Guantanamo
3) Budget deficits
4) The economy
5) Torture

Now let's look at the Bush programs and compare the Obama administration against the Bush legacy.

Domestic Wire taps

Bush - Progress Ohio had this post related to Bush's use of domestic wiretaps

The NYDN is reporting that Bush signed a Postal Reform bill with a signing statement attempting to circumvent warrant procedures required to open the mail of private citizens:

The President asserted his new authority when he signed a postal reform bill into law on Dec. 20. Bush then issued a "signing statement" that declared his right to open people's mail under emergency conditions.

That claim is contrary to existing law and contradicted the bill he had just signed, say experts who have reviewed it.

Bush's move came during the winter congressional recess and a year after his secret domestic electronic eavesdropping program was first revealed. It caught Capitol Hill by surprise.

One would think our President would have received a signal from the November election that this type of behavior is not what the American people wanted. No, check that. One would not think that. Why would I ever think he would ever stray from his arrogant course of monarchical rule? Silly me.

Obama ?

Given that his administration has chosen to follow the Bushie's position, What does progress Ohio have to say?

I guess that makes it OK since Obama is The Messiah?


I'll post the others as we go along.
