Obama scares the bejesus out of Freepers. [View All]

I've noticed this for some time.

"Rivals Blast Obama's Praise for Reagan"
This is not good news. Obama is getting very good advice. He is already playing to the center, before he is accused of pandering. He will get more attention from middle of the road voters with statements like these and keep media attention on him. He will get more fawning news coverage from idiots like Chris Matthews and get more Republicans like Denzel Washington to join his team.

Obama is very very dangerous.

This guy is going to be very seductive to a lot of Republican leaning voters, and independents.

I’m glad he’s calling out the Clintons, and acknowledging the monumental change that Reagan brought. But his policies are pretty much opposite of everything I believe in.

He’s probably a pretty cool guy to hang out with though.

So much for the universal virtue of “bi-partisanship” or “maverick” senators. Obama describes something he finds appealing in Reagan, and he’s branded as if he’s Eichmann.

Say what we want about Obama, that took a pretty big set of gonads to say.

I’m not going to rip the guy until he’s taken the beast out.

Obama told the Reno Gazette-Journal editorial board Monday that "Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it," Obama said.
What an innocuous statement. He didn't claim that Reagan changed it in the right way in his eyes. He just said that Reagan changed it. The difference between the Carter administration and the mood of the country then was enormously different than it was during the Reagan administration. Dictionaries even removed the word "malaise" except as an archaic form.

Would anyone argue if I said:


"Franklin Roosevelt changed the trajectory of America in a way that Woodrow Wilson did not and in a way that Herbert Hoover did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it,"

This just shows how eager the Dems are to tear each other up. It's like a pair of pit bulls and an ill tempered Shetland pony.

Obama throws a Major League curve ball. If he starts saying nice things about Harding and Coolidge, then I’ll really be impressed.

Especially if we're brain-dead enough to nominate McCain or Huckabee for President.

I'm not saying that this is particularly meaningful, but it is interesting.
