73. Barack is 100% correct in his statement
Edited on Wed Jan-16-08 07:58 PM by Middle finga
Reagan was unique because he was able to change the thinking in the country, he got the voters to go along from both sides of isle, he changed the political dialog, in other words he ushered in a revolution whether you agree or disagree with his policies he was a trailblazer. Not only that but the presidents that succeeded him were also influenced by his policies including Clinton. As much as america likes Clinton he was not a trailblazer, many of his ideas came from Reagan. In order to find past presidents with the type of influence that Reagan had you would probably have to go back to Kennedy and FDR. These guys ushered in revolutions during their presidencies, they didn't just rock the boat, they remade the boat and their successors basically followed their leads. That's all Barack is saying, you don't have to love Reagan to acknowledge his accomplishments.
