   And he has Bernanke lying to Congress today, too, albeit in very wishy-washy terms, but that won’t stop the MSM from saying that the Fed says that the economy is on the mend.

   Obama is going to change his song-and-dance routine (yes, I said it) to match what he believes the people want to hear depending on the topic at hand. He knows that at least 50% + 1 of us have the attention span of a gnat.

   First Lincoln, then Roosevelt, now Reagan? I guess he’ll try ‘em all on for size to see which one fits the best. Here’s a tip, Obama: if you wanna fast-track the procedure, you’ll save yourself and us a lot of time by heading straight to Carter. It’s where you’re headed anyway.

   Reagan was one of our Republic’s best Presidents ever. Bho is in the same league as carter. I will not watch this person speak tonight and try to say he is any place near Reagan. When Reagan spoke, he at least told the truth, bho would not know the truth is it bit him in his skinny rear. Sorry for the rant.

Remember the 5 days on line before legislation passed? Remember the “there is no pork in this bill”? And that my friend is in just the first month!

    Obama has to “be like” other presidents because he himself has no record; merely a promise of hope and change that’s as empty as his resume.

    Raising taxes in CA . It is easy to cut federal taxes because you can add to deficits for later generations. But most states require balanced budgets. In CA he blinked and instead of forcing spending cuts he chose raising taxes. Even the recent GOP traitors in CA were giving his example in explaining their tax raising compromise

    I have an open question for the lgm’s, undresiege’s and other libtard trolls. Why, if your guy BHO is supposed to be such a ‘great leader’, does he compare himself to other presidents? Why not just go out, carve your own mark* on the world and show us what you’ve got all on your own?

    Afterall, we’ve HAD Mr. Lincoln, we’ve HAD a couple of Roosevelts, a Truman and Reagan.

    My suspicion is that BHO and the rest of the Dem’s don’t want us to see that his empty suit is actually more closely aligned with Karl Marx, several French presidents and others with socialist governments behind them. I say behind since pretty much ALL have failed spectacularly including the granddaddy of them all, the former Soviet Union.

    Reagan stood firmly and boldy against Socialism/Communism, while Obama stands firmly and boldy for Socialism/Communism.

    Indeed, they are polar opposites.

    Obama not only supports abortion but also supports infanticide when an infant survives an abortion and is born alive.

    Here’s what Reagan had to say:

    Let me state the case as briefly and simply as I can. An organization of citizens, sincerely motivated, deeply concerned about the increase in illegitimate births and abortions involving girls well below the age of consent, some time ago established a nationwide network of clinics to offer help to these girls and, hopefully, alleviate this situation. Now, again, let me say, I do not fault their intent. However, in their well-intentioned effort, these clinics decided to provide advice and birth control drugs and devices to underage girls without the knowledge of their parents.

    For some years now, the federal government has helped with funds to subsidize these clinics. In providing for this, the Congress decreed that every effort would be made to maximize parental participation. Nevertheless, the drugs and devices are prescribed without getting parental consent or giving notification after they’ve done so. Girls termed “sexually active” — and that has replaced the word “promiscuous” — are given this help in order to prevent illegitimate birth or abortion.

    Well, we have ordered clinics receiving federal funds to notify the parents such help has been given. One of the nation’s leading newspapers has created the term “squeal rule” in editorializing against us for doing this, and we’re being criticized for violating the privacy of young people. A judge has recently granted an injunction against an enforcement of our rule. I’ve watched TV panel shows discuss this issue, seen columnists pontificating on our error, but no one seems to mention morality as playing a part in the subject of sex.

    Is all of Judeo-Christian tradition wrong? Are we to believe that something so sacred can be looked upon as a purely physical thing with no potential for emotional and psychological harm? And isn’t it the parents’ right to give counsel and advice to keep their children from making mistakes that may affect their entire lives?

    Many of us in government would like to know what parents think about this intrusion in their family by government. We’re going to fight in the courts. The right of parents and the rights of family take precedence over those of Washington-based bureaucrats and social engineers.

    But the fight against parental notification is really only one example of many attempts to water down traditional values and even abrogate the original terms of American democracy. Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged. When our Founding Fathers passed the First Amendment, they sought to protect churches from government interference. They never intended to construct a wall of hostility between government and the concept of religious belief itself.

    The evidence of this permeates our history and our government. The Declaration of Independence mentions the Supreme Being no less than four times. “In God We Trust” is engraved on our coinage. The Supreme Court opens its proceedings with a religious invocation. And the members of Congress open their sessions with a prayer. I just happen to believe the schoolchildren of the United States are entitled to the same privileges as Supreme Court justices and congressmen.

    But Obama was all those things and more before this speech, correct? At least that’s what his votaries believe. I did not partake of the kool-aid so I’m not seeing the charisma and eloquence from a man who’s lost when not in front of teh teleprompter.

    lgm,
    Ronald Reagan had to WORK for what he had. As an actor, he was only as good as his last film or script. That’s more work than Obambi has ever done.

    We won’t even get into Reagan’s successful governorship in CA, something liberals HATE to talk about because that was the last time we’ve had a governor out here who managed to run the state properly.

    Of course, before Obambi was sucking on the teat of “community reform” for his income, he was…? A what? Why are his college records sealed? Where was he born? Who paid for his college education? How did he travel to Pakistan?

    There IS no “Reaganesque” in Barack Obama. Period. There’s only deceit, lies, and controversy.

    If Reagan was such a bad president and was thoroughly hated like the Left constantly claims, why are they claiming to be Reaganesque? No one would willing claim to be Hitleresque so by calling themselves Reaganesque they have admitted to what we’ve known all along.

    Reagan was an awesome president, and liberals realise that the empty suit they’ve elected to the White House is nothing short of a weak willed imbecile with no backbone or character of his own.

    During my first press conference as president, in answer to a direct question, I pointed out that, as good Marxist-Leninists, the Soviet leaders have openly and publicly declared that the only morality they recognize is that which will further their cause, which is world revolution. I think I should point out I was only quoting Lenin, their guiding spirit, who said in 1920 that they repudiate all morality that proceeds from supernatural ideas — that’s their name for religion — or ideas that are outside class conceptions. Morality is entirely subordinate to the interests of class war. And everything is moral that is necessary for the annihilation of the old, exploiting social order and for uniting the proletariat.

    Well, I think the refusal of many influential people to accept this elementary fact of Soviet doctrine illustrates a historical reluctance to see totalitarian powers for what they are. We saw this phenomenon in the 1930s. We see it too often today.

    This doesn’t mean we should isolate ourselves and refuse to seek an understanding with them. I intend to do everything I can to persuade them of our peaceful intent, to remind them that it was the West that refused to use its nuclear monopoly in the forties and fifties for territorial gain and which now proposes 50 percent cut in strategic ballistic missiles and the elimination of an entire class of land-based, intermediate-range nuclear missiles.

    At the same time, however, they must be made to understand we will never compromise our principles and standards. We will never give away our freedom. We will never abandon our belief in God. And we will never stop searching for a genuine peace. But we can assure none of these things America stands for through the so-called nuclear freeze solutions proposed by some.

    The truth is that a freeze now would be a very dangerous fraud, for that is merely the illusion of peace. The reality is that we must find peace through strength.

    If Obama wants to be Reaganesque, let him say what Reagan said:

    Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness. Pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the State, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world.

    It was C.S. Lewis who, in his unforgettable Screw Tape Letters, wrote: “The greatest evil is not done now in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint. It is not even done in concentration camps and labor camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered; moved, seconded, carried and minuted in clear, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.”

    Well, because these quiet men do not raise their voices, because they sometimes speak in soothing tones of brotherhood and peace, because, like other dictators before them, they’re always making “their final territorial demand,” some would have us accept them at their word and accommodate ourselves to their aggressive impulses. But if history teaches anything, it teaches that simpleminded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly. It means the betrayal of our past, the squandering of our freedom.

    So, I urge you to speak out against those who would place the United States in a position of military and moral inferiority. You know, I’ve always believed that old Screw Tape reserved his best efforts for those of you in the Church. So, in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride –the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.

    I ask you to resist the attempts of those who would have you withhold your support for our efforts, this administration’s efforts, to keep America strong and free, while we negotiate real and verifiable reductions in the world’s nuclear arsenals and one day, with God’s help, their total elimination.

    While America’s military strength is important, let me add here that I’ve always maintained that the struggle now going on for the world will never be decided by bombs or rockets, by armies or military might. The real crisis we face today is a spiritual one; at root, it is a test of moral will and faith.

    Whittaker Chambers, the man whose own religious conversion made him a witness to one of the terrible traumas of our time, the Hiss-Chambers case, wrote that the crisis of the Western world exists to the degree in which the West is indifferent to God, the degree to which it collaborates in communism’s attempt to make man stand alone without God. And then he said, for Marxism-Leninism is actually the second-oldest faith, first proclaimed in the Garden of Eden with the words of temptation, “Ye shall be as gods.”

    The Western world can answer this challenge, he wrote, “but only provided that its faith in God and the freedom He enjoins is as great as communism’s faith in Man.”

    I believe we shall rise to the challenge. I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last — last pages even now are being written. I believe this because the source of our strength in the quest for human freedom is not material, but spiritual. And because it knows no limitation, it must terrify and ultimately triumph over those who would enslave their fellow man. For in the words of Isaiah: “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increased strength. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary. ”

    Yes, change your world. One of our Founding Fathers, Thomas Paine, said, “We have it within our power to begin the world over again.” We can do it, doing together what no one church could do by itself.

    God bless you and thank you very much.

    I can sum up Obambi’s speech already. Just revisit these chilling words from Sarah Palin’s convention speech:

    “But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot – what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger … take more of your money … give you more orders from Washington … and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world.” -Sarah Palin GOP Convention Acceptance Speech

    Methinks former Pres. Reagan would punch current Pres. Obambi right in the kisser, were he alive today.

    One of my favorite John Wayne cowboy scenes is as he turns away from someone who just provoked him and then, in his famous John Wayne twang says, “I awta to PUNCH yew in the face, but ah won’t.”

    Before he gets turned all the way around he swings back around and says, “The hell ah won’t!” and proceeds to deck him. What follows is a brawl.

    Obama is no Reagan. Reagan built a collation of both Democrats and Republicans, like none we will see again. Reagan had vast sway over the House of Representatives during his presidency, even though the house had a Democratic majority during both of his terms. In fact, those Democrats were called “neo-cons” as an insult and that insult is now just thrown at any and all Republicans who agreed with Bush (I find it funny how the far-left has own and defind that epithet as a legit political term).
