Obama and Reagan Part Two



WSJ: Comes to the defence of Senator Obama, looks at the context how Obama used Reagan as a symbol for his movement and how the extreme Liberals wing of the Democratic Party reacted. The article stated the following, " Mr. Obama committed a grievous blunder by nodding at the achievement of one of the most consequential Presidencies of the 20th century. If the rest of the Democrats can't even recognize the same, it suggests that the change they have in mind is back to the 1960s and '70s. " The USA needed Reagan after Vietnam and Watergate, he allowed the country to regain its confidence in itself, he used military spending to end the Cold War, Gorbachev was selected by the old guard to match Reagan, with Gorbachev and Reagan we see the end of the Cold War. The Reagan Administration did not lose an inch of ground to communism during its time in office. The Economy was turned, a economic boom developed due to tax cuts and domestic cuts. Reagan was the best President since JFK. The last great President of the 20th Century.
