Obama emerges as a liberal Reagan who can reunite America

London Sunday Times ^ | January 6, 2008 | Andrew Sullivan

[Aristotelian]

Could Obama be a potential liberal version of Ronald Reagan?

Reagan was a man of ideas, a man of conviction. Obama is a man of platitudes.

[TexasCajun]

Andrew who?

Could Obama be a potential liberal version of Ronald Reagan?

Puh-leeze! What a joke

[al baby]

I met Raagan Obama is no Reagan !!!!!!!!

[edcoil]

Over half of this country does not want to be liberal so I would say no. The country came together under conservative ideas, not a person - so again, no.

[Huck]

a liberal version of Ronald Reagan

Mr. Gorbachev.....REBUILD THAT WALL!

[fedupjohn]

Whatt!!.. A Man has to have ideas and principles before he can ever be compared to RR.

What a joke.

[stevem]

I don’t think I care to unite behind him.

Andrew who?

Oh, yeah, this guy (from Wikipedia):

Sullivan is known for his unusual personal-political identity (HIV-positive, gay, self-described conservative often at odds with other conservatives, practicing Roman Catholic, and a non-U.S. citizen who focuses on American political life).

I can’t come up with any response that meaningfully expresses how absolutely wrong the entire premise of the article is.

I’m trying, really hard, but I just can’t. Obama’s just an empty shell that everyone keeps pouring their own image into, without even taking the slightest moment to look at what they’re getting. A lifelong government drone, supported by people who claim they want a ‘change’ from the status quo that brought us a lifelong government drone.

Hussein is an oily scumbag.

[MtnClimber]

Obama deserves to be compared to Marx, Mao or Pol Pot. Not to someone who fought communism.

Mr. Gorbachev.....REBUILD THAT WALL!

Now thats funny, right there!

[tomnbeverly]

The article made me sick to my stomach... Obama is a fool that would lead this country to its ruin... Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama is most certainly going to win the Democrat ticket its like running John Vietnam Kerry when the war first started run a guy that has the names our our current enemies as part of his own name.... Again Barrack the Muslim will lead this country to its ruin and the More Americans that wake up to that Oratory fact the better.

[MrLee]

Reagan was’nt a Muslim either. That will be important down the road......

[ilgipper]

he’s going to be built up so much, he is bound to collapse in a heap. I am hoping it is not before he sticks a fork in the Clinton years.

[tbpiper]

Well put.

[g'nad]

Obama spouts the same socialist drek that the other socialist are...

the only difference between them is that all he was worried about 3 years ago is getting the streets in his Chicago district plowed...

[ilgipper]

Can Obama win a single southern state? If not, then he isn’t uniting in the slightest.
