If you adjust Reagan’s numbers for population growth, it would put his viewership in 2009 at approximately 56.4 million viewers. If you adjust 0bama to 1981 numbers, it would put his number of viewers at 28 million. In other words, Reagan had about 33% more viewers. Nothing like trying to spin the news.
Now, there you go again.
Reagan may have had more viewers in absolute numbers.
Reagan may have had more viewers as a percent of the population.
Reagan may have had more accomplishments in his public career before taking office as President of the United States (okay, so did every other president in our history).
Reagan may even have respected the Oval Office and the Constitution far more than any Obama voter alive (or dead).
Still, Obama had far more media support and dramatically more news articles about him: President Barack Obama's inauguration generated an unprecedented 35,000 stories in the world's major newspapers, television and radio broadcasts over the past day -- about 35 times more than the last presidential swearing-in.
Obama also wins the press-leg-tingle competition.
Obama wins for most support from America's enemies.
Obama wins for most unconstitutional goals (more than 30, shutting out Reagan who scored a zero in this newly important category).
And that ties the Great Communicator and our new Dear Leader.
The tie breaker is dollars spent, and it looks like Obama will take the lead shortly, wasting more this month than Reagan spent in a typical year ... And remember, the democrats would say that's Obama's money he's spending, not ours, but "when you spread the wealth around, everyone benefits".
Thinking about Reagan giving the last good years of his life to our country, only to have the voters turn our future over to such a man, makes me sad. Reagan left our children a shining city on a hill, and the usurper is just going to leave them a pile of debt and a shredded Constitution. May God have mercy on the United States of America, the last best hope of man on earth.
