Obama is acting more and more like Bush

To date, we know Obama has RETAINED and supports these Bush policies:

(1) warrantless wiretapping of American citizens

(2) legal immunity for the telecoms giants that spied on us without warrants

(3) still prohibits federal funding of embryonic stem cell research

(4) is continuing the rendition of "enemy" prisoners to foreign countries (where they can be tortured)

(5) has decided prisoners in America's Bagram military prison (in Afghanistan) have NO rights that we (or he) must respect

(6) uses the ruse of "state secrets" to terminate trials against those who are accused of torturing prisoners

(7) plans to destroy Social Security while calling it "reforming" Social Security

(-) nominates tax cheats and lobbyists to run government agencies

(9) refuses to allow prisoners in American jails to use DNA evidence to prove their innocence (even if they pay for the tests)

(10) uses fear to get his way by rushing legislation through Congress

(11) without Congressional authorization, Obama has ordered the bombing of a country we are NOT at war with (Pakistan)

(12) is stonewalling media requests for access to court records in the ongoing Guantanamo detainee litigation.

Tread softly because you tread upon my dreams.
