[Hoot Gibson]

Yeah it is. I know you don't want to talk about it, but it's fair to compare the two. Saying "I didn't agree with George Bush all the time" doesn't cut it either. Obama is continuing many of the same policies Bush started. No one was running to rallies with guns strapped to their legs when Bush did it. So the new mantra around here is: Forget about everything Bush did and everything that fell apart under his watch and blame it on Obama (or Barry, or the socialist, or the foreign born Muslim, or . . .) Laughable.

Let's play that game and try to show that both Bush and Obama are socialists at the core. Name a few hardcore socialists and communists in Bush's inner circle. Name one CEO that Bush had fired. Name one employee of a private sector company who had his or her salary cut as a direct result of an action taken by a member of the Bush administration. Cite instances where Bush made statements with socialist overtones such as Obama's "spreading the wealth around" or "at some point you have made enough money" comments.

After you answer those questions, let's talk again about the peas in a pod socialists GW Bush and Barry Obama.
