So, will Obama resign now that his presidency has been exposed as a hoax?  ? |

You have gotta admit that Obama is not the dynamic president that Reagan was, even if Reagan was senile for the last year he was in office.
When Reagan wanted something done, all he had to do was get a few photographs of him riding a horse over the hills and shortly thereafter he'd address the nation.
He was so totally persuasive with that one, two combination. I am convinced that if he told us that it was OK to feed our elderly Alzheimer ravaged parents rat poision to put them out of their misery; damn it, we would do it because IT WAS THE AMERICAN THING TO DO! And we had pride in our country.

People had confidence in the Gipper since he could connect with the people. Whatever positive values Obama may have, he really does come across as a rather cold fish who thinks in terms of idealized concepts rather than individual human beings.
Sorry, can't help saying that. If you are inclined to disagree with me (admittedly a foolish idea in the first place), just compare the way the O comes across with the way Bill Clinton did and still does. Quite a difference, no?
I should add that Ronald Reagan never ever apologized for his country. He never bowed to foreign leaders. He never bad-mouthed the U.S. before foreign audiences. If you don't think those sorts of things are simply non-starters for many people, you are deluded.

That just proves why Obama should have taken up residence for a couple of years at the Pasadena Playhouse before running for the presidency!  As for Reagan, he actually had quite a lot of valuable experience before winning the 1980 election: 1) He was president of a - - - gasp - - - labor union (the Screen Actors Guild) for 8 years. 2) As spokesman for General Electric, he toured many GE plants, studying their functions and how they fit into the company's overall plan. 3,) He served two terms as governor of the nation's most populous state. I know, it's unfair to compare the resumes of the Gipper and the Hoopster. I point this out just to strengthen my view that Reagan won not just because he was a very good communicator. AzWm . |

Reagan had a great faith in the American people. Obama calls us slugs when he thinks his mic is off.

If a convincing portrayal of your core beliefs is acting, then you are right. Reagan evolved into a stanch Conservative while Obama can't seem to find any core to begin with. |
