The Liberal Reagan Argument...Again

This time from John O'Sullivan, an Aussie. He's remarking on Obama's comment of Reagan being a politically transformational figure--which is, of course, true. As I mentioned before, the Ds have lost 5 of the last 7 general elections since Reagan and, since Reagan, NO ONE in the U.S. is afraid to call themselves "conservatives" while "liberal" has become a tag of slander--on par with "child molester" or "heathen." And Liberals still cower to it! Even now, with what might be the worst president in 100 years as the face of conservative Republicans, the "L-word" is avoided like the plague amongst Liberals.

That is Reagan's legacy. To refuse to acknowledge it is to refuse to see reality. And perhaps that is why it hurts the Ds so much. Reagan, that supposed dawdling, ignorant buffoon, got the best of the Left and still--from the grave--can expose their weaknesses and win politically.

Can Obama do the same as Reagan from the Left? Not if Billary have anything to do with it.
