Bush on steroids

The problem is not that nobody knows about Obama being the most successful Progressive since FDR. Obama's problem is that too many people know. Being a progressive means believing government needs to be involved in every decision we individuals make. It means believing government is an omnipotent god with the president as it's Messiah. It means believing that government spending more and more is good. Obama's problem is that people are on to his progressive bullshit. Unfortunately the result of all this is that Obama has managed to make W look fiscally conservative. In two years, he has managed to make people clamor for the "small" government days when the Republicans were in control. People were hoping for change and instead got Bush on steroids.
