"I think Ronald 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. I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s and government had grown and grown but there wasn't much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating. I think people, he just tapped into what people were already feeling, which was we want clarity we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship that had been missing."
Who said that?
Barack Obama. That’s right. Barack Obama.
What excesses is he talking about? Civil rights struggles? Attempts to get equal rights, equal pay for women? Protests for peace? Environmental awareness?
Has anybody publicly called this guy an Uncle Tom yet? He certainly wants to be part of the machinery.
It’s not that he’s wrong about Reagan changing the trajectory of America. He certainly did. And we’ve been hurtling along that trajectory ever since, and it has not been good. Not for us, not for the world. That Barack Obama thinks we were put on the right course by Reagan ought to scare the pants off all those Democrats planning to vote for him.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
