This was the President that was supposed to shine a light on corruption and protect whistleblowers when they first campaigned.
The joke here is you think there's that much of a difference. One acts bad and does bad things, the other acts good and does bad things. The only difference is the media loved the last one and hates the new one.
You're right in some respects Obama is worse. I definitely feel like I could have a beer with him, but fuck me if he didn't do things as bad as Bush or worse. People called Bush the same names they called Trump now, so it doesn't mean as much anymore.
If you actually believe this, you grossly lack a sense of scale. Multiplying Obama's actions by 100 doesn't come close to starting the Iraq war.
Got involved in Syria.
He kept Guantanamo open.
He upped the number of drone strikes. Knowingly killed a 16 year old US citizen who was not an enemy combatant or in a country like Iraq or Afghanistan.
He extended the Patriot Act.
All things he criticized Bush for.

What he promised: "my first day in office, I would give the military a new mission: ending this war". [1]
That's not the same as "pull out".
> Got involved in Syria.
"Got involved" in an already ongoing crisis, and arguably a direct result of the Iraq war, is not the same as starting the Iraq war. Not even fucking close.
Syria: 2.5k troops [2] Iraq: ~300k troops [3], and we've been there 20 years.
Like I said, multiply Obama by 100x...
On the remaining points, I'm not claiming Obama was great on these issues. My only claim is that if you think Obama even remotely compares to Bush in terms of the amount of destructive policy the two brought about, you lack a sense of scale and perspective.

Further even Pelosi in her speech today wasn't having any of the media's crap where she basically says we are working together on this no need to make it anymore then that. Good one Pelosi.
Also is there a guide to follow on how to deal with the coronavirus?
