When Bush was in power the republican people were standing in defense of him, in general agreement with everything he did. The democrats were frothing at the mouth, calling him the next Hitler, and lots of other stuff, blaming him for everything wrong in the US, claiming that he did not represent 'the people' (love how both sides simultaneously claim to represent "the people" as a whole), was wasting trillions of tax dollars, was going to destroy democracy and the constitution, etc etc etc, plus all the usual the world is going to end stuff.
When Obama came in to power, both groups did a near perfect about face. Now you had democrats defending Obama, and republicans frothing at the mouth, saying pretty much the same stuff the democrats had said about Bush (oh sure there are a few differences over some 'hot button' issues, but the behavior and attitude is about the same).
Without meaning to be insulting to anyone, I am reminded of puppets dancing to the same tune, their limbs moving to the jerking of the strings.

I see your point and yes I take a look back, always have.Things are different now though and we must get people to see that, this is not just politics anymore, it's a non violent war really.For the first time we really have a President who cares more about his dangerous ideology and his agenda than the health of the nation.Obama has shown disregard for public opinion(we the people) the supreme law of the US, the Constitution and his oath to uphold it because he does not value it and things its just something he needs to circumvent.Bush was not perfect but he does love this country and was not going after his critics like the Obama admin and did not have plans that included things like a private army, opressive govt healthcare etc etc The old game of this is just politics no longer applies as I said, this is a real fight for the future, to keep us as that shining city on a hill so to speak.We are in danger of turning into an oppressed nation, difficult for many to see but not impossible, just look at history, many did not realize it until it was too late.Reagan said it best....
