I've seen more than my fair share of spinning weasels on TV trying to promote the narrative that Obama is just like Reagan and that he is facing the exact same scenario in his first term as did Reagan.
That's a wonderful argument, unfortunately, there are two fatal flaws in this line of thinking.
1) Reagan had a DEMOCRAT congress to run against. Obama can rail against "fat cat bankers on Wall Street" all he wants, but the fact is, the American people are pissed at DC and the over-reaching, over-taxing, over-spending DEMOCRAT congress.
Hard to play the Reaganite Populist against your own self and your own party.
2) Reagan's brilliance was his ability to key on 3 big issues: cutting taxes, shrinking government, building-up the military.
He wasn't all over the place with crappy health legislation (that most people DON'T support)...He didn't try and appease every special interest group he could...and he didn't lie about not-raising taxes, being transparent, and being a moderate.
So, try again, Libs...Your Guy is going down in flames, but if you think that he's Reagan, you're even more clueless than I thought.
