For Obama, it's a case of deciding between "staying the course" and "diverting the course."
For Bush it was "setting the course" and "staying the course."
The course is fucked up. Bush was taken out of the driver's seat on a ride of his choosing. Obama was put in his place. What do you expect? There is no reset button. There is no do-over.
