The ex-president's tirade on Fox News reveals a politician insisting on a legacy he doesn't deserve.
THERE'S NO LIMIT to what a man can do," President Reagan used to say, " … if he doesn't care who gets the credit." ...
Former President Clinton's motto seems to be a little different: "There's no limit to how much credit a man can get, if he doesn't care what he's actually done." ...
Reagan came to office after the Jimmy Carter catastrophe. ...
And yet even after his two terms were over ...I cannot remember Reagan ever "defending his legacy" with anything more than a quip and a smile.
Compare and contrast Clinton. Questioned mildly on his anti-terrorism record by Fox's Chris Wallace on Sunday, President Me went absolutely medieval on the newsman, leaning forward threateningly, rapping his fingers against Wallace's notes and proceeding to, well, lie — and in a very angry voice too! ...
Reagan was a man who believed in truth. Not your truth or my truth but "the truth," the one that is out there whether you happen to believe in it or not.
"I never thought of myself as a great man," he said, "just a man committed to great ideas."
Clinton, on the other hand, is a narcissist who finds it difficult to grasp in any real sense that there is a place where his "inner man" ends and the rest of the world begins. Clinton's stock phrase, "I feel your pain," is really the insistence of a man who does not truly feel anyone else's pain, does not truly understand that there are other inner realities as urgent as his own.
Take Clinton's misuse of women...

He stole my tagline!
Please correct the source. This cannot be the LATimes....
ping
Checked...Double Checked...and now Triple Checked.
It is the Los Angeles Times
LOL...I had to look at the source a few times myself.
President George W. Bush is also unconcerned about his legacy--or who gets credit for what.
I'm getting a chuckle at this article .. wondering how did it ever pass the editors desk
Reagan had character. Something Bill Clinton threw away in his childhood. You can't get back what you threw away. Besides, Bill Clinton has built up this fantasy world around him that only kids dream of.
The MSM outlets, like the LA Times, have had a bellyful of this guy. There is only so much a person can take of him, without at some point feeling slimed and dirty.
CLINTOON....Loves himself more than our country!
Never, never, never, let this IMPEACHED Ex-Prez near the Whitehouse again!

Wow!
Billy did his "tell" with Chris Wallace. You know the "tell" all FReepers know the "tell". The brow down, stern face, and the always blatant "tell" the pointing finger. This guy shouldn't play poker for money, he'd be cleaned out.
We got you figured out Bubba, we've had you figured out for 14 years.
No wonder he is beloved and idolized by Hollywood types...he is the ultimate megalomaniac.
Reagan came to office after the Jimmy Carter catastrophe. He pulled the American economy out of a graveyard spin, restored the country's military and its confidence and helped bring one of the most oppressive empires on Earth to the brink of collapse. But in those days, my children, there was no Internet, no Fox News, no Rush Limbaugh — the media was almost all Colmes and precious little Hannity — and if you got your news from the New York Times, say, or CBS, you would've thought the country was being run by a miserly, warmongering idiot instead of the greatest president of the century's second half.
It's the Op-Ed, guys . . . just something for the letter writers to rage over.
Well, there you are.
(I can't believe the source.)
Well said!
Oh how I miss President Reagan. I loved to tune into each Presidential address because he made me feel proud to be an American. Part of the greatest country on earth.
I actually registered to vote just so I could re-elect him.
There will never be another anywhere near his stature in my lifetime.
"just a man committed to great ideas." his first was to feel up the help.
