Despite the controversy and supposed "failure," I liked the era of the Bush administration. People from all sides of the political spectrum presented their ideologies and fought to implement those visions. For me, I was thankful that usually the conservatives won.

The Obama administration is not framing the debate in this way. Obama and his cohorts pretend that no differences exist when they do, they use the language of conservative values and implement liberal policies, and they condemn institutions such as as the Guantanamo tribunals but keep them going.
