Obama: Reagan saw that 'we are all patriots'
2011-01-24
Yes, we are all patriots. Or at least, most of us are patriots, and there are a few who just think they are patriots.
No matter what political disagreements you may have had with President Reagan— and I certainly had my share — there is no denying his leadership in the world, or his gift for communicating his vision for America.
Communists, dictators, oligarchies, and socialists generally disagreed with Reagan. Capitalists generally agreed.

Remember Reagan's faint praise for Carter at his inauguration speech? I wonder what he'd have to say about Obean.

Obean, or Reagan?

#10  It was a philosophy that President Reagan took to heart — famously saying that he and Democratic Speaker Tip O'Neill, with whom he sparred constantly, could be friends after 6 o'clock.

Funny, I don't recall Reagan ever uttering the slurs and insults about O'Neill that O'Neill did about Reagan...

#9  They told me If I voted for McCain the president would go around praising Reagan as a patriotic uniter.

#7  I'm kinda surprised Obama didn't burst into flames invoking Reagan. Apparently Gog knows he wasn't serious

#5  I have to wonder what President Reagan would have said about the Obama Presidency.

(That is if he wanted to - unlike Democrat ex-presidents Republicans refrain from criticizing their successors.)

#3  Amazing how much Big Zero is dragging out past Presidents, dead and alive, to try to get some credibility.

#2  The only time Democrats praise Reagan is when they're in trouble and trying to sucker the rubes...

#1  Ronald Reagan was my President. Barack Hussien, you are NOT Ronald Reagan.
