It was sad how… during the primary, when Senator Obama cited Reagan as an example of change, he was criticized, and modified his remarks.

It is refreshing how he is positively citing President Reagan again, trying to compare himself to the Gipper.

I remember when President George Herbert Walker Bush, when running for re-election, compared himself to Harry Truman. I think that Clinton did as well, and I remember the media reporting how everyone was “wild about Harry”.

Considering how the neoconservative movement has invaded our party, to such a large extent, sentiments like that would seem even more common, today. Don’t be surprised if our GOP leaders start citing FDR, Truman, and JFK (and perhaps even Bill Clinton!!) as positive examples… Actually, they have already been doing this, all-too-often.

However, it is great to see that the Gipper is, even after his passing, being regarded well, even by those on the other side.

He was truly the greatest president of our time.

Wouldn’t except anything less from the group that thinks history began in 2000 and that passion is more important than policy.

Pretty clear they have never read or know the biography of Reagan–let them continue to think all Americans are similarly ignorant.

I see it as more of a “whistling past the graveyard” or “preaching to the choir.”

Tells me there is pure panic on their side. Wouldn’t need to hitch your wagon to the greatest star in recent history otherwise.

It’s ironic that their own ad highlights his presumptuousness; the Obama camp wants to take the mantle of Reagan greatness, BEFORE their guy even accomplishes anything…including actually winning his party’s nomination. The Audacity of Hope indeed….

Well, I guess Obama is more like Reagan than they’d like to admit, eh?

I can’t imagine such thinking going through Barack Obama’s head, ever.

Stupid facts.

And they think Reagan was the biggest dufus to hold the office until Dubya, and they compare their hero to him.

Go figure.
