"A Time for Choosing" (Reagan on Obama)
An American Expat in Southeast Asia ^ | 28 October 2008 | expatguy

Posted on 10/27/2008 3:47:43 PM PDT by expatguy

Forty-four years ago today, Ronald Reagan gave a speech entitled "A Time For Choosing", a speech that is as pertinent and timely today as it was back then. Listen to the speech and then replace Johnson's "Great Society" with Barack Obama's mindless mantra of "Hope" and Change" and Senator Fullbright's remarks that "the Constitution is outmoded" with Obama's claim that the Constitution of our nation is "fundamentally flawed".

For those of us who love our nation and who value property above fraternity and liberty above equality, there is but one thing we ultimately expect from someone who aspires to lead our nation... and that is that he will solemnly affirm to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States".

Very soon all of us will face our own time of choosing and the the only question we need ask ourselves is how we can expect someone to preserve, protect and defend a document that they believe is "fundamentally flawed"?

Obama will have an issue with the oath of allegiance

And to think in only 2 decades America could go from having the great Ronald Reagan at the helm to a two-bit, empty-suited Marxist bent on destroying the fabric of our beloved Nation. How sad.

Election’s not over. Don’t count out hope yet (real hope, I mean.)

What makes you think he’ll use a Bible? Might be a Koran. Now that would be a shocker.

I stand corrected. It would have to be a Koran if Obama is swearing to it.

They need to put Fred Thompson on television to do a similar speech this year.

Thanks great vintage video.

How can anyone old enough to remember Reagan think that Obama has even an ounce of leadership, intelligence, spirit and truth, not to mention his whit and humor?

Just imagine if McCain had the intestinal fortitude that Reagan had.

The whole thing sickens me -

The video is amazing though
