Gibbs hints at 'Reaganesque' speech

Politico ^ | 2/24/09 | Carol Lee

"Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." - Ronald Reagan.

Yeh..and exactly the Opposite of what the ZerO is all about.

[1010RD]

Shouldn’t there be a “puke” or “hurl” warning for this thread?

[tflabo]

Notice how Big O wants to be associated with past Republican presidents... Lincoln, Reagan....don’t worry George Washington...you’re excluded since you had dark skinned servants.

[PhilDragoo]

REAGAN WAS ANTI-COMMUNIST
OBAMA IS COMMUNIST
OBAMA IS THE ANTI-REAGAN

Where is the projectile vomit alert?

Or is this implied?

[TomHarkinIsNotFromIowa]

Gonna be uppity tonight...probably not going to use the southern dialect.

That was last week.

Wake me up when he gets to Millard Fillmore.

This is all because Obama believes, as Rush says,"It's not what you say, but how you say it."

Obama couldn't even say anything as well as Reagan. As to the matter of content, Obama and Reagan are polar opposites. Reagan would have choked before saying government was the solution to anything.

1.)Gibbs appeared on all six morning shows. Senior adviser 2.)David Axelrod is scheduled to do more interviews later today. And a slew of other administration officials are scheduled to make the cable rounds as the speech nears:
3.)Duncan again,
4.)Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack,
5.) HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan,
6.)Council of Economic Advisers Chair Christina Romer,
7.) Biden’s chief economic adviser, Jared Bernstein.
Their goal? To quell suggestions to insist that he’s (Obama's) not down on hope.

This is Hilarious and Embarrassing to me as a U.S. citizen. First off, we know he believes in nothing,O.K.? HE has no "Core Beliefs" like Ronald Reagan had. (To suggest Barack Hussein Obama would even be capable of wiping Ronald Reagans boots, much less give a speech like him is a complete fallacy) Now in office just over a month, he's already sending out the succulents to say that HE is not "DOWN ON HOPE". Amazing! They couldn't possibly have considered phrasing it in any positive way now, could they? No, they couldn't. I can hear it now: "...Darn it Rahm, you get some people out there and tell them the topic is "I'm Not Down On Hope!" How truly embarrassing a position to find oneself in. At least it's happening to the biggest pedestrian on earth, our current POTUS.

The media and the Obama administration are really driving this home and it's working on the mush heads who can't remember him.

Just the other day some Obama loving dork tried telling me Reagan was a moderate.

[hinckley buzzard]

I think the optimists who ran up the market today are going to feel pretty foolish by 4pm tomorrow.

[hinckley buzzard]

Funny how the only heroes the Bammy-wankers can dredge up for comparison are Lincoln and Reagan, two archetypal Republicans.

Good to see the Bizarrobama staff are aware of the need to raise expectations before the event.
