Of course, he's nothing like Ronald Reagan... unless you count his appeal to moderates in getting elected. Key difference being that Reagan won-over skeptical moderates... while Obama basically lied to them.

Obama's tall and thin, from Illinois... and likes sports, that's about it for similarities.

In reality, Ol' Dutch is probably spinning in his grave at 10,000rpm with what the Boy Wonder is doing to the country that he loved so much... looting the entrepreneurial class and stomping on Constitutional safeguards held in reverence by all previous presidents- until now.

And contrast Obama's glorification of the disastrous New Deal (this time on steroids) with the Reagan Recovery of the 1980s, which actually brought us back from 11% unemployment plus double-digit inflation AND interest rates....

Reagan accomplished this with an adherence to Milton Friedman's philosophy- with spending and tax cuts, in addition to deregulation and incentives for small businesses and entrepreneurs- all aided by Reagan's sunny optimism and complete faith in the American free-market-enterprise system.

Obviously, this is all 180 degrees from what Obama's now foisting on us with his eye-watering tax plans and smothering and terrifying of small business... which RR claimed "create almost all of the economic growth in the United States".

Reagan created over 20M jobs…growing the country’s real GDP by almost 30% in the process. Those kind of results makes one wonder why Obama’s multi-trillion-dollar spending would impress anybody, with his pledged 3.5M new and “saved” jobs (whatever those are)… a paltry figure 16.5M jobs shy of The Gipper’s towering accomplishment. And of course, now it's become obvious that Obama's pledge can't be delivered upon anyway... unemployment is soaring.

Reagan was a great success as president... a man of duty, honor, and principle. And this racially-obsssed Bolshevik con-artist Obama couldn't hold The Gipper's jockstrap.

Obama's Miranda Madness

Less than an hour into the interrogation of the Christmas Day "underwear bomber," the U.S. Justice Department instructed FBI agents to advise Abdulmutallab — an al Qaeda operative from Nigeria — of his Miranda rights. Shockingly, interviews since have yielded "no actionable intelligence."

Stop plea bargaining with terrorists!
