Oh I didn't know they had drones back then, but yeah I don't see Obama as much improvement from Bush considering he's stepped up the drones and the endless 'War on terrorism' or whatever they refer to it as now days....and I don't get the impression he's all that naive or mislead which is the impression I had of Bush but who knows what all goes on behind the scenes. Also, the new healthcare system I thought it was going to be somethinng more like universal healthcare I guess it is more or less a start. I just really hope they don't cut down on medicaid and there are still options for people who can't afford insurance other than paying a fine.

Essentially all those changes he promised haven't happened and its understandable he can't live up to everything he'd want to do but the complete lack of any positive change is what bothers me since he was so adamant about that before getting elected.
Thanks for this!
