Obama emerges as a liberal Reagan who can reunite America

Interesting theory from a British analyst, I'd like to hear what Americans think.

[Romneyfor President2008]

I’m sorry, I had to add the megabarfalert keyword. :)

[Army Air Corps]

Reagan actually had ideas, convictions, and a grand design in his head for what he wanted to accomplish. Obama has empty, hackneyed platitudes and cliches.

[Perdogg]

I thought Andrew Sullivan was the gay American blogger.

[tillacum]

Of course the brits think he’s great and a uniter, look how the muslims have united england.

[raynearhood]

to me for later

[rintense]

Misnomer. The word liberal should never be used with Reagan. Never.

[Jim Robinson]

baarrrfff

A liberal Reagan? Is that like a Satanist pope?

[ExpatGator]

“angry, Southern, antiimmigrant (sp) Republican party”

He says this like it’s a bad thing!

[Lysandru]

I haven't digested the whole thing yet...

But his point about Republicans voting in the Democratic caucus could be attributed to Republicans trying to sabotage the Hildebeast.

And yes, Reagan actually had ideas.

Frankly, I think that the leading Democratic candidates are a pathetic lot. Seriously, athough I don't care for Joe Biden or Chris Dodd's politics, I acknowledge that they have long real records of federal public service. Ask an Obama supporter just what major accomplishments he has had in the Senate.

But guess who is now the Democratic front runner.

[randog]

Did Obama beat Hillary because the folks love Obama, or because the folks hate Hillary?

So far today I’ve heard Obama being compared to JFK, Reagan, and Jesus. Kinda reminds me of the MSM’s fawning adulation of another “revolutionary” candidate—Howard Dean.

[bill1952]

A british liberal newsboy need never put the words liberal and Reagan together in the same sentence.

[Yogafist]

Yeah, where is the barf alert?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Here ya go, TaterHead. One woman’s opinion... ;)

[Barrack Hussein Obama’s record in the Illinois senate:]

- Opposed the Defense of Marriage Act; would work to repeal it in the U.S. Senate; would not vote for any legislation that would restrict the ability of gays and lesbians to marry.
- Opposed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times in Illinois. A similar bill passed the U.S. Senate 98-0. The Born Alive bill would have prohibited a baby from being born alive but left to die according to the mother’s wishes. Obama inexplicably opposed this bill not once, twice, or three times, but four times.
- Obama took almost $90,000 in bundled contributions from the Council for a Livable World. The council is a well-known anti-defense organization.
- Obama puts rigid ideology before what’s best for the people of Illinois, and presumably he would do that as President as well. He has on several occasions made public his opposition to the NAFTA trade agreement and his belief that it must be negotiated. All the while thanks to NAFTA, Illinois exports $1.3 billion in agricultural goods to Canada.
- Obama refused to vote for a bill in the Illinois State Senate that would have increased penalties for drug traffickers.
- Obama voted against a bill that would have delivered the death penalty to gang members who murder first responders.
- Finally, just in case you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Obama was the only member of the Illinois State Senate to vote against a bill that prohibited early release for sexual predators.

Can’t kill the innocent fast enough, can’t free the guilty soon enough!

I am having a seizure now.

Ok, thats over & my tongue is only bleeding a little. I grew up "Reagan." Lately, I have been feeling a little old. It's time to just shoot me now.

Andrew Sullivan.

Born 1943 Surrey England. Would like to live in the United States. Barred because he is HIV positive.

Thanks Wikipedia. Why certain people who do not have the vote or pay taxes in America are getting orgasms over Obama, beats me.

[Soliton]

I wonder what the other British analist, George Michael thinks.

[SevenofNine]
