That Article is really worthless and has nothing to do with decent journalism or political science. Besides McCain is a different politician then Bush, he does stand against his party and colleagues when needed, he is not allied with Christian Right (something that Bush was strongly associated with, and needed to repay them), he did stand against big companies as a chairmen of Commerce committee, he showed concern over climate change.
That's few things that makes him different from Bush, who was surrounded by idiots, and had to appoint people that pushed him towards presidency.
And media do Overrate Barack Obama, i mean they make him like a messiah that will in one day get America out of depression and into promised land. But behind that there are his policies: tax raise, evacuation from Iraq, not tough enough stance on Russia and Iran, does not speak about challenging big government.
Barrack is a man who in my eyes is more about populism and image (criticizes patriot act, but votes in favor) then solutions, he only tells Americans what they want to hear.
