Bush Obama comparison too soon?

answer: 

Hi Adam,

At nearly three weeks since you asked your question, "soon" has come and gone, I'm afraid, which I think is kind of appropriate for the answer it was my first impulse to give. That being that at six months into his presidency, it may be a little too soon to compare Obama's policies to those of the eight years of the Bush administration.

That said, a Google search on <bush obama policy comparisons> let me to some potentially useful results.
