1) there are people on pen-l who don't think that Obama is the same as Dubya.

2) they're right in the sense that Obama's the "clean up hitter"
rather than being earlier in the lineup.  Just as George H.W. Bush and
Bill Clinton cleaned up Reagan's messes (and rationalized his
program), Obama's doing the same for Dubya. This helps legitimate
neoliberalism as an overall program.

(and BTW, Woodrow Wilson was really bad, perhaps the last president
who was openly racist against Blacks in his policies. Most of them
simply maintained the status quo (as FDR did).)
