Absolutely, but it's interesting to see the shift in interest at the top of the mountain, so to speak.
Bush's true accomplishment was destroyal of Iraq for two reasons: most of his buddies are war-enterprise contractors, such as Lockheed, Boeing, Halliburton, etc. So immorally but legally the entire Iraq war regime was a smart transfer of wealth from taxpayers to those few friends of Bushes. Another reason was so that Bush family (and friends) can keep the price of oil here in US at decent levels (to the contrary what public assumed was that US wants to take over Iraq oil fields. No reason to do so -- plenty of oil here inside USA).
Now fast forward to Obama and you can clearly see Obama is not friends with war contractors. His buddies are mostly in healthcare business and it's as big, or even bigger than war, cause you can run war only X amount of years. Healthcare is forever. Hence Obama is mostly interested in deals related to screwing healthcare, and not interested in deploying US military into ongoing wars. Better spend tax payers money for rich friends from Pharma and Co.
