Saint Barack Saves the World....
The difference between Obama and Bush is that Obama will try to make sure our friends don't think we are dicks for dropping DU on their neighbors, but we will still drop it, while Bush just doesn't care. Nothing new, Obama is trite CFR propaganda wearing a new suit. There will be more military intervention and Dictoraid this cycle, no matter who sits on the throne, the only difference is what kind of humanitarian language, if any, they use to church up their warmongering rhetoric.

Obama continually criticizes the Bush administration for pursuing its interests on the international stage instead of spreading “values” and “principles.” He says Iraq was a war based “not on principle but on politics.” Yet if there could be anything worse than the Bush foreign policy, it would be Obama’s principled meddling. At least interventions driven by narrow interests and politics have some kind of endpoint: when the interest has been protected or the political goal realized, the intervention might come to an end. Obama, by contrast, inflamed by his self-defined “values” and motivated by a vision of good versus evil in which it is America’s role to lead the world toward its “common humanity,” would be more reckless and unwieldy than Bush ever was. There is nothing quite so dangerous as a well-armed leader convinced that he has an historic moral purpose on the world stage.
Barack Obama’s Inaugural Address wouldn’t require much work: George W. Bush delivered the first draft in 2005.
