that was a democratic primary?

i understand that the repulsicans must pay homage to reagan while pandering for votes but democrats?

obama:

He tapped into what people were already feeling, which is, we want clarity, we want optimism, we want, you know, a return to that sense of dynamism and, you know, entrepreneurship that had been missing.

clinton:

He could call the Soviet Union the Evil Empire and then negotiate arms-control agreements. He played the balance and the music beautifully.

no mention that the reason grandma has to eat cat food is reagan and greenspan cut social security benefits while raising the social security taxes and called it "saving social security"?

no mention of ronnie's posse and their role in giving aid to terrorists in exchange for holding americans hostage until after the 1980 election?

no criticism of the repulsican shell game of shifting taxes to working americans while calling them tax cuts?

if this is how obama and clinton play to their base what do they have in store for us when they need to give repulsicans a reach around?

Obama just stated a fact, that Reagan was a force for change. He didn't say he agreed with Reagan's policies, just that he made a huge change in this country. The fact is that Reagan made changes that were terrible for our country and we are still suffering from his policies. This is part of the problem with politics these days, when someone says something, others twist it to make them look bad. Reagan did all that you mentioned and more. Besides the Iranian hostage deal and trading with terrorists, he broke the Air Traffic Controllers Union(PATCO) and that has fucked workers to this day. But I repeat, Obama did not endorse Reagan's polocies!
