Homespun Charm Offensive President Barack Obama: Yup. We tortured some folks. President Barack Obama: The NSA's lookin' out for you like a nosy neighbor should. President Barack Obama: Haha! That John Brennan sure can spin a yarn to Congress! President Barack Obama: You can't make a war on terror without breaking a few hundred thousands lives.

It’s not Bush derangement syndrome. Obama is guilty of the NSA spying and his CIA director Brennan did lie to Congress, but the torture WAS under Bush, the NSA spying program started under Bush, the War on Terror was under Bush, and the Bush administration did lie to Congress on a regular basis.
Obama has his issues, but the majority of the issues are due to continuing Bush policies. That doesn’t excuse Obama, but it does mean we shouldn’t be pretending they started with Obama.

“you mean Obama’s excuse to shut down war memorials? Or how about the fact only 3 people lost a job as a directly result of the sequester.”-If the President wanted to be serious about the budget he would have pressured the Senate to pass and fight for his budget rather than ignoring their statutory obligation to pass a budget, year after year. It is as though Democrats do not want to risk being held accountable for the state of the Federal Budget for some reason.
