Interesting piece on CNN by Ruben Varerette Jr. on Romney vs. Obama with Obama representing Bush's third term and Romney staying on the right in the positions he staked out to win the nomination.
While neither liberals nor conservatives are eager to admit it, they can no longer deny it: Americans are living through George W. Bush's third term. Obama loves to criticize the 43rd president, almost as much as he loves to emulate him. In the war on terror, aspects of foreign policy, education reform, immigration, corporate bailouts and a host of other issues with the exception of health care reform, Obama has taken up the sorts of positions that conservatives usually champion.
