Morning In America

One thing Reagan gave the country was the insight that Bush would do exactly as he has, One has to be a fool or too young to remember exactly what Reagan gave the US the S&L crisis and billions of dolars in bail out, 68 billion went to Neil Bush's Silverado Savings and Loan. I had no doubt Bush would do a rerun, it worked before and it has worked again. This country doesn't need any more of that it may not even survive a third go around.

Obama will set the pole mcuh higher than any President before him, Amnerican will never be the same after Obama, Although Bush has in effect made it easier in the sense when you are at the bottom there is only one way to go and that is up.
But please lets not even hope Obama is anything like Reagan; The difference and advantage Reagan had over Bush was he could actually make a memorable speech thanks to his hollywood speech writers and the fact he could read. otherwise nada.

What defeat abroad is this twit speaking of.

Eleanor, step away from the koolaid! You may need a straight jacket if you keep seeing rainbows and butterflies before your Messiah actually does ANYTHING.

Yeah we want Obama to continue the supply side economics that Reagan created- that have not worked through
5 presidential terms. Yeah we want Obama to enter into subversive covert wars: Iran - Conta. Yeah we want more American people to end up being homeless and wadering the streets of our nation more so than any other time in history other than the great depression! Yean we want Obama to win a so called cold war with the Soviet Union while by outspending them with billions of dollars into the military culture only to see that this so called victory last a paltry 20 some odd years- the new Russia is as politically perverse as the old Russia! What cold war victory are the American conservatives clamering about! Yeah we
Obama to mirror Regans denial of the energy crisis only to play ball with the monolplistic American energy culture! If Regan is as good as the conservatives have to offer no wonder our nation is in the bind in faces- deregulation, no oversight, free markets yeah- let the financial wolves run wild. Its disgusting!

WHO GIVES A CRAP ABOUT REPUBLICAN LUNATICS IN REALITY??? Hummm..wonder who started this 'trickle-down' disaster...humm....RONNIE RAYGUN!

As long as the public (which is the republican plan) continue to talk about Raygun then he becomes the standard. If that's the 'standard' then we're already done.

???Sarah Palin haters???, I think people who use that phrase are missing the point. It really isn???t hatred; it is disgust, disgust with her many faults and her brazenness and surprise and disgust first with John McCain for bringing her out of obscurity and now with those who are trying to make her their next puppet to pick up where GWBush left off. There is where the real fault lies. One individual stated they didn???t think she was a sociopathic personality because she had meaningful relationships but, as McCain discovered, it is apparent she just uses relationships for her advantage. They also felt she deserved credit for having her DS baby instead of aborting yet there is the question, does she deserve credit when she constantly uses the baby as a prop, soliciting sympathy and recognition, and then just handing it off? No, those along with all of her other self-focused characteristics, especially the lack of any conscience, strongly suggest she really fits the sociopathic category and would be a real disaster in any national office (as the sociopathic GWBush has been). Personally, I think she is a sick and sad case and simply wish that she would fade away. George W Bush has proven to be the worse President this country has ever had and we need to remember all of it in order to recognize and reject anyone else who is similar ??? Sarah Palin is a cut from the same mold!

Eleanor, you make an excellent point here. I think that we ccould go deeper yet. Besides communications and inspiration and intellect, Obama is a keen strategist. He is not taking it for granted that he has political capital as Bush-43 did. He appears to believe that it is necessary to earn the respect and good will of the people every day. He appears to truly want to be an effective president with an effective Governement. Imagine a president that actually works with everyone in Washington to get things done all while communicating to allies and enemies alike what he intends to do. How about a leader that will offer the olive branch to his enemies with the goal of using their knowledge and experiences to make a difference for us the American people. I for one will take a hopeful tone for this.

Let us all hope that Obama is NOT another Reagan. We certainly don???t need another intellectually challenged war criminal in the White House.

This woman is is liveing on another plant , the only thing Obama is doing is picking staff . This is like a long train Bush drives the engine and Obama sits in the caboos watching everything go by ,the only thing Obama can do is watch and hold press conferances to try and stay relavant to what is going on in the world powerless to do anthing.But the medea are giving him credit for every little burp they can .

Dear rjharen, who are you speaking to, and on what basis are you making any or all of your claims? Anything specific that Obama has said or done, which might suggest such radical socialism? Has anybody taken into account (or even been aware of) what Obama taught as a professor in Chicago -- constitutional law? I think he knows -- and fully supports -- what is best in our form of government and worth protecting, far more than his more unstudied and improvisational predecessors. You are only scaring yourself.

My own hope is that Obama will prove to be the first Obama. I tire of further attempts to rehabilitate and mythologize Reagan by nostalgic hindsight; so much of what he did was built on falsehoods key to the conservative ideology, and he did a good deal of harm thereby. He is/was a very different person from Obama, with his own list of virtues and faults. Let's let Obama establish who he is on his own terms, and save the comparisons for later!
