The Left and their lap-dogs in the media have lost their ever-lovin’ minds.  Their latest message, being sent out in an act of desperation, is that Obama is just like the greatest American president in our generation, Ronald Wilson Reagan. 

 I don’t know what they’re smoking, but they need to put down the pipe.

According to an article published on time.com, Obama is one of the Gipper’s biggest fans.

And I own every Lady Gaga CD in existence.

According to the article, in May 2010, President Barack Hussein Barack Obama invited an intimate cadre of presidential historians to the White House for a working supper in the Family Dining Room. According to historian Douglas Brinkley, Obama clearly had a bromance going on with our late president and can actually be compared favorably to Ronald Reagan:

There are policies, and there is persona, and a lot can be told by persona. Obama is approaching the job in a Reaganesque fashion.

Okay. I’m going to throw up now.

The Time article goes on to erroneously compare Reagan’s call for bipartisanship in his 1983 SOTU address to Obama and the Dems’ current push for “a coming together”.

The difference between the two situations is striking.  Reagan wanted to re-invigorate our capitalistic economy and wanted both parties to help him for the good of the American people.

Obama and the Dems want bipartisanship in order to continue to radically change our country and to cover up their failed economic policies and minority Congressional status.

Obama recently wrote an op-ed for USA Today, praising Reagan, saying:

Ronald Wilson Reagan was a believer. As a husband, a father, an entertainer, a governor and a president, he recognized that each of us has the power — as individuals and as a nation — to shape our own destiny. He had faith in the American promise; in the importance of reaffirming values like hard work and personal responsibility; and in his own unique ability to inspire others to greatness. 

No matter what political disagreements you may have had with President Reagan— and I certainly had my share — there is no denying his leadership in the world, or his gift for communicating his vision for America.

…President Reagan recognized the American people’s hunger for accountability and change — putting our nation on a bold new path toward both. And although he knew that conflicts between parties and political adversaries were inevitable, he also knew that they would never be strong enough to break the ties that bind us together. He understood that while we may see the world differently and hold different opinions about what’s best for our country, the fact remains that we are all patriots who put the welfare of our fellow citizens above all else.

It was a philosophy that President Reagan took to heart — famously saying that he and Democratic Speaker Tip O’Neill, with whom he sparred constantly, could be friends after 6 o’clock. It’s what led him to compromise on issues as contentious as Social Security and tax cuts. And it’s what allowed him to work with leaders of all political persuasions to advance the cause of freedom, democracy and security around the world, including reducing nuclear weapons and imagining a world, ultimately, without nuclear weapons.

But perhaps even more important than any single accomplishment was the sense of confidence and optimism President Reagan never failed to communicate to the American people. It was a spirit that transcended the most heated political arguments, and one that called each of us to believe that tomorrow will be better than today. At a time when our nation was going through an extremely difficult period, with economic hardship at home and very real threats beyond our borders, it was this positive outlook, this sense of pride, that the American people needed more than anything.

When the future looked darkest and the way ahead seemed uncertain, President Reagan understood both the hardships we faced and the hopes we held for the future. He understood that it is always “Morning in America.” That was his gift, and we remain forever grateful.

The article from Time refers to a passage from Scooter’s second book, The Audacity of Hope, where he said about President Reagan:

I understood his appeal. Reagan spoke to America’s longing for order, our need to believe that we are not simply subject to blind, impersonal forces but that we can shape our individual and collective destinies.

Okay.  We get it.  You want Americans to buy the idea that you think that Ronald Wilson Reagan was an extraordinary  American President. 

 Well, duh.

But, President Reagan never said:

I do think that at a certain point you’ve made enough money.

Nor, did he say that the Muslim Call to Prayer is:

…one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.

And I sure don’t remember President Reagan saying anything about his fellow Americans:

clinging to their guns and religion.

However, he did say that:

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

I was alive while Ronald Wilson Reagan was President of the United States.  You, sir, are no Ronald Wilson Reagan.

In the Time article, they detail a dinner between Nancy Reagan and Obama:

Obama invited Nancy Reagan to the White House 19 months ago, when he signed legislation creating a commission to plan for her husband’s centennial. The meeting was cordial and generous on both sides. Nancy and Michelle Obama had lunch. Nancy, who in her ninth decade retains a healthy sense of humor, didn’t miss a chance to point out one difference between Obama and her late husband. “You’re a lefty,” she said as Obama inked the Reagan commission into law.

“I am a lefty,” Obama replied. A lefty who wants to be remembered just like Ronnie.

And that ain’t happenin’.
