Digging up what I'd jotted down...

Like Bush, Jackson had lied his way into the Presidency by condemning the federal bureaucracy as corrupt and beholden to special interests while only having the intent to make it more corrupt and beholden to special interests than it was before. Jackson is credited with instituting the "spoils system" into the federal government, whereby candidates for offices in the bureacracy must have given Jackson money to even be considered for office. Bush has taken this a step forward: people must now have given Bush's campaign a donation for their political arguments to be considered. Bush will ignore people who are not his own campaign contributors, and will even ignore people who gave him money if they also gave money to a Democratic candidate, an act he considers treason.

When the Supreme Court told Andrew Jackson that his use of the Army to forcibly remove natives from their homes was a violation of law, Jackson told the Supreme Court to raise their own army to stop him. Bush will not have the luxury of being remembered by such an infamous and obviously un-Constitutional statement since the current Supreme Court contains a like-minded majority of five right-wing extremists against a minority of two conservatives, one moderate, and one liberal, and it is unlikely that Bush as the current President will be appointing a conservative or anyone less right-wing to fill Supreme Court vacancies.

Jackson forcibly removed natives from their homes and sent them on the "trail of tears". Bush has jailed thousands of immigrants and United States citizens for no more than their being Muslim, Persian, or Arab -- at least, the Justice Department claims it is jailing these people for no more than being Muslim, Persian, or Arab, as it denies that they have committed any crime or that there is any evidence these people have committed any crime.

Jackson is remembered for his stance against state nullification of federal law when South Carolina decided it didn't have to pay tariffs, but before that Jackson had ignored Georgia's passing laws discriminating against native populations in violation of treaties signed by the United States. Texas recently declared that its state legislature can nullify federal laws and international treaty, not a peep from Bush.

Jackson condemned the antislavery movement as "inflammatory" and "calculated to stimulate...insurrection and all the horrors of civil war", and proposed banning such pamphlets. Bush condemns opposition to his domestic policies as "class warfare".

The big difference: Jackson was a war hero, Bush deserted.
