"And then somebody -- I don't remember who it was -- turned and said, 'You know what? What about Gibbs' tie? What about Gibbs' tie? That might look good.' And, frankly, Robert didn't want to give it up because he thought he looked really good in the tie. But eventually he was willing to take one for the gipper, and so he took off his tie, and I put it on. And that's the tie that I wore at the national convention."

You've heard of
"stolen valor"? This would be
"stolen dignity, honesty, character, love of country, and selfless belief in the cause of freedom (and jealousy of the admiration from a grateful citizenry.") Kind of a sidebar...
Mister Obama whined to Mister O'Reilly that we don't like him because we don't know him.
Not true.
We simply do not TRUST Mr. Obama, and our feelings present accordingly.

"Former President Obama" has such a nice ring to it.

Take one for the Gipper?
Take one?
Leave it to a dem to screw up a common phrase. Like gore and the “rip-tootin’” party at the White House, Kerry and “Lambert Field,” “four sheets to the wind.” These guys are totally out of touch.

To: i88schwartz
Obama doesn’t even know where the nickname comes from right?
Most American’s probably don’t either.
It seems like you would want to know that before you started referring to yourself by another man’s famous nickname.
What a fool.
Which ivy-league “whizkid” advisor came up with this idea?

0 knows what he’s doing. In mockding the bible, mocking Christianity and mocking Reagan, he’s deliberately flipping the bird to enrage his enemies ... which are conservatives and Christians, in particular. It’s virtually impossible for him to disguise his hatred.
To: Emperor Palpatine
Now,now, don’t be hasty. I actually consider this progress for Obummer to think he’s Reagan; he usually thinks he’s God.

What do you expect? Obama is NOT an American (and I'm not talking about the BC controversy). He was not raised in America during his formative years. He does not know our culture. All due to his freak of a mom.

Obama will never be the Gipper. The Zipper maybe, but not the Gipper.
