Obama : Better than Bush

If by better, you mean moreso. This article is subtitled "How Barack Obama became a hardliner." While it never does tell us how that happened, it does indeed spell out nicely the evidence that he is one.

He was once a liberal law professor who campaigned against the Iraq war. Now, according to revelations last week, the US president personally oversees a 'kill list' for drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan. Then there's the CIA renditions, increased surveillance and a crackdown on whistleblowers. No wonder Washington insiders are likening him to 'George W Bush on steroids'
