Mad Men and 2009

The New York Times: Frank Rich writes on the return of to TV of the TV series Mad Men, set in the 60s Advertising Company. Mr Rich writes the following on the series, " That the early ’60s of “Mad Men” seems more contemporary than the late ’60s of Woodstock.. " The great thing about Mad Men is one hand its not political correct but on the other hand your grateful for the changes that 1960s bought to the civic society of the USA, civil rights, the arts in general and politics. The difference in looking back; Liberals go back to JFK and the New Frontier; is that for Republicans we saw the emergence of Ronald Reagan as Governor of California, the election of Richard Nixon as President in 1968. Obama is no JFK, the reaction to his health care reform bill shows that he comes from an elite arrogant perspective of the 1960s, the very same people that created a political backlash that lead to the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980. This blog has predicted that President Obama will lose the bid for re-election in 2012, the question is there another Reagan out there that can save the USA.
