Whoa! President Reagan was not elected after being foisted off on the American people by the mainstream media. There is hardly any resemblance between Obama and Reagan.
For starters, FReshman US Senator vs. two terms as Governor of California? No comparison. Obama is not ready for prime time; he knows it, and he knows we know it. Reagan was ready for prime time, and he showed it every day.
I’m not saying he was always correct, but he always had the best interests of the US uppermost in his mind. Obama doesn’t.
Obama is a great speaker and politician, but he is, in reality, a Marxist copycat who is following the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist playbook page by page.
The mainstream media DID foist him off on us, because they are of a like mind. Witness all the hard questions Obama was asked and the pass the media gave Joe Biden on his almost daily verbal gaffes!
HST, enough voters bought his story to get him elected — well, that and the “voting irregularities” we don’t hear about, again thanks to the mainstream media.
I agree with you: Democrats will over-reach and spend themselves out of office; 2010 strikes me as a good time to eject them and elect a solid conservative Congress.
Obama reminds me of many things, but a new car is not one of them. It may be an apt analogy, but I’m not as charitable as you are.
I stated things badly.
What I meant is that Republicans need to avoid blaming MSM for Obama.
MSM is a convenient scapegoat and allows Republicans to ignore their own egregious behavior.
The only comparison I’m trying to make when it comes to Ronald Reagan is that he managed to get elected in spite of MSM opposition.
I can think of several new cars that looked good on the lot, but turned out to be horrible cars. For instance, pretty much any 1970’s MG Midget. The TR-7. Or, the Cadillac Cimarron.
