The New York Times: Reports how President Obama has been reading up on President Reagan and meeting former Reagan Aides. The problem is folks is that POTUS is no Reagan, he is to thin skinned, Reagan has natural humour, he could laugh at himself, thus took away a weapon form the elite left, they could not poke fun at him as he had already go there first. Reagan was very pragmatic when it came to getting his policies, he would go for well over 50% of his objectives and come back later for what was left. Reagan threw away the does and don’ts of diplomacy, can you see Jimmy Carter calling the USSR an Evil Empire, or Obama even, that’s the problem folks, Reagan called on Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall, the White House and the State Department wanted to play nice with the USSR. POTUS has the gift of communication, but he does not have a strong core, thus Obama cant ever be a Gipper.
