For this Bacevich blamed the “hubris” of the Bush and Obama (“Bush Lite”) administrations, driven by the “sanctimonious” conviction that the rules of the “indispensable nation” be thrust upon the world through its “freedom agenda”, even by force if necessary. After 9/11, the “long war” — an open-endedÃâà...

Barbie as a platform for spewing racist hatred against all those who have a view that is different from Robert Azzi (Sunday Monitor Forum, Nov. 19)?. When I settled back to read this past Sunday's Forum page, I looked forward to reading Azzi's thoughts on Mattel's release of Muslim Olympian IbtihajÃâà...

The President has had to clean up the mess that Obama left. As to the call to La David's widow, the President did not disrespect her, she admitted to that before Frederica Wilson got ahold of her and then she changed her story, because she was paid off “to lie”. It doesn't take Rocket Science to see that,Ãâà...

Note that many of Trump's working-class Rust Belt voters voted for Obama, and also for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries. A Sanders-style class politics can restore hope [to] white workers about realizing their economic interests. As Trump's policies fail the workers who voted for him, there is aÃâà...

Pilger is part of a segment on the Left who, no matter what Obama does, considers him “Bush-lite.” I say this as someone who identifies as far more left than liberal. But this idea that Obama is the same as Bush or Reagan is ludicrous. Pilger even goes so far as toÃâà...

Mr. Obama's leadership was often derided—from right and left—as “Bush-lite.” In fact, some of those most unhappy with the president's foreign policy had been among his strongest supporters it seemed. CODEPINK Women for Peace, for example, declared that its members were “heartbroken by Obama'sÃâà...

This is how Obama squares the circle between his Bush-lite official strategy and the promise he articulated early on in his 2009 speech in Cairo, which was about ending America's foreign policy dominance, moving us to the sidelines and making us irrelevant and non-exceptional. The solution Obama hasÃâà...

Only one thing makes Obama's policy look geopolitically smart — and that's Mitt Romney's prospective foreign policy. On global issues, then, the November elections will offer voters a particularly unpalatable choice: between a Democratic militarist and an even more over-the-top militaristic Republican, between Bush Lite allÃâà...

The roll-out of President Obama's National Security Strategy tries to frame the strategy as a repudiation of his predecessor's. But the reality is that the new strategy is best characterized as "Bush Lite", a slightly watered down but basically plausible remake of President Bush's National Security Strategy.

... from the Bush administration, particularly as it changed in the second administration as circumstances changed, and the Obama administration,” Hayden told me. James Jay Carafano, a homeland-security expert at the Heritage Foundation, was blunter. “I don't think it's even fair to call it Bush Lite,” he saidÃâà...
