Clinton on Obama and Ronald Reagan Part Three


The Hill: Senators Clinton and Edwards go after Obama about his views of Ronald Reagan, the real point is that they are not in the league of Ronald Reagan and never will be, that is the real reason. They don't have that greatness, Obama just might have that Reagan magic, and Clinton and Edwards hate that idea.

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.

No Reagan ?



The Weekly Standard: Looks at the Republican race and how none of the candidates are another Ronald Reagan. The article states the following, " It's foolish to wait for another Ronald Reagan " As the article points out, Reagan was a Master politician but also a leader of a movement. Obama wants to do the same thing, this has got him in to trouble with the Liberal wing of the Democratic Party, we shall see if has the Reagan magic. McCain or Huckabee should be a good candidate for conservatives, but not Romney, sorry a phony is a phony.
