The New York Times: Lou Cannon a writer of many books on Ronald Reagan argues that Obama should follow the Reagan model in his first hundred days, keeping his eye on the economy, not allowing other other Issues to divert attention. Cannon states that Obama has followed this example over some Domestic Liberal Issues. I would argue that Mr Cannon is missing the point, Reagan would not have closed down Gitmo without a plan, in the Reagan Diaries one of the first issues that Reagan dealt with was removing the restraints that had been placed on the CIA by Carter , it was under Reagan that the USA Government banned giving support to agencies that gave advice and help with abortions. Reagan would not have given the impression in his first interview that the USA had to say sorry to the Middle East. It seems President Obama is more interested in pandering to the left than in good government, thus my prediction that he will be Jimmy Carter Mark 11. The Gipper was a better politician and statesman than President Obama.
