Enough with the Lincoln analogies; Reagan is the president that Barack Obama is most closely modeling himself after. Ronald Reagan inherited stagflation, a defeat abroad and a nation at its nadir in morale. Through the sheer force of his personality as much as his policies, four years later, it was "Morning in America," the theme of his 1984 re-election campaign when he won 49 states. Obama isn't president yet, but his determined calm and orderly transition pace appear to be soothing the financial markets, producing the first sustained gain in stocks since the mid-September meltdown.
On Jan. 20, Obama will take the oath of office, join a private luncheon in Statuary Hall, then meet with congressional leaders and, if all goes according to plan, sign into law a massive stimulus plan before he proceeds up Pennsylvania Avenue to the viewing stand outside the White House for the Inaugural Parade. Reagan initiated the tradition of the Inaugural Day meeting with the legislative barons, a gesture that signals respect and sets a tone for the 100-day dash when a president can be most productive.

Next Ronald McDonald maybe...
Obama was right and Bush was wrong about our invading Iraq.
Dammit! I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Ironic that a liberal rag would compare Obama to Reagan since Obama earlier had cast Reagan as another republican president that had lead the US down the wrong path...but, to be a liberal is to ignore everything you have said before.
Even the most amateur armchair strategist can look at a map and see that invading Iraq was a good idea.
There was only one Reagan and B Hussein Obama will never come close enough to so much as scrap the mud off the heels of his shoes. The left can continue drinking the kool aide.
I avoided clicking the link and thus generate any ad revenue for the doublespeak crowd.
To say that markets are soothed by The Zero is Orwellian.
I always knew that lady(?) was out of her friggen mind. She has less intelligence than the average toad.
I don’t distrust him because he’s black. I distrust him because he’s an extreme liberal, and that’s about as low as it gets in my book.
Maybe Ronnie Jr. but definitely not The Gipper.
That has to be a joke.
You cannot get anymore polar opposite than Ronald Reagan and Racist Hussein.
Thats like night and day.
from completely different universes, living on different dimensions.
For every matter, there is an anti-matter. Whatever Reagan is, Hussein is the anti.
Totally opposite.
Their names don’t even belong in the same sentence. Not even on the same page.
