During Cato's liveblog of SOTU last night, every time Obama raised a new policy proposal, Tad DeHaven was posting quotes from George W. Bush SOTU speeches that called for pretty much the same things. This morning, those are helpfully collected at Cato's blog. Take a look for yourself and feel free to quote the relevant Who lyrics at your leisure.
Steve -
I actually had The Who's "We Won't Get Fooled Again" blaring on repeat in my living room as I waited for His Majesty's speech to begin. A little pre-game motivation.
"Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss."

Excellent Tad - and that was really great work. That sort of thing is exactly how live blogging and the Web more generally enable us to do powerfully and quickly in ways not available in the past.
It would be fun to turn it into a quiz: run quotes and let folks decide if its Tweedledumb or Tweedledumber.

Yes, we could call it "Name That Statist"
