37. I think Obama was right there and not expressing love of Reagan

Sun Apr 14, 2013, 09:47 PM

when you say "Reagan messed up America" that is just another way of saying "he changed the trajectory" and like the article from your OP says "Clinton did NOT".

I guess there were hints that Obama embraced Reaganomics, but it did not seem to come out strong until after he was elected. It was after he was elected that he surrounded himself with Clinton advisers.

But the article in the OP seems to be all about foreign policy.

Booooring.
