Obama seems to have killed more civilians during his first year than Bush did in his first year

Is that a fair comparison looking at the state of the world now and then? and does that include civilian deaths due to the Iraq sanctions?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

In fact, as far as one can tell, Obama seems to have killed more civilians during his first year than Bush did in his first year, and maybe even than Bush killed in his final year."

The bit you quoted is an unfair comparison, but it sets up the punchline that I bolded. Which is the comparison that really does Obama no favours as that was when we perceived Bush-Cheney to be at their most psychotic.
