Well, that's kind of true. See: Iraq invasion, torture. When the Bush admin started tolerating torture, that was quite a huge deal. Obama undid that.
Also, Obama didn't tell us we're either with the US or with the terrorists.

Yeah, I guess at some point we're done with that dynamic. We could trust the next guy, but what about the guy after that one. Your two parties are so fundamentally opposed that there's a good chance everything president of party A does is torn up by the follower of party B.
- Not saying it's equally contributed, at least at this point the republican party seems to be the problem. We'd probably be more willing to trust a democrat president, but that doesn't mean we'd trust the presidency or the US as a whole. And why should we, really.
