More Bill on Reagan (9+ / 0-) Recommended by:Geenius at Wrok, badlands, GN1927, arielle, Elise, nobody at all, Crisitunity, beltane, cybrestrike More Bill:
Barack Obama didn't "sing the praises of Reagan" but Hillary Clinton sure did- and recently at that:
"But no president can do it alone. She must break recent tradition, cast cronyism aside and fill her cabinet with the best people, not only the best Democrats, but the best Republicans as well.. We're confident she will do that. Her list of favorite presidents - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, Truman, George H.W. Bush and Reagan - demonstrates how she thinks. As expected, Bill Clinton was also included on the aforementioned list." -snip-
George H.W. Bush and Reagan !??!
-snip-
And Hillary's husband {former President} Bill Clinton is also on record for singing the former President Reagan's praises. Here's one example:
"Chris Black | The Boston Globe | 29 November 1992 President-elect Bill Clinton, still exploring the parameters of his new position, sought some personal pointers Friday from a man who mastered the magic of leadership. Former President Ronald Reagan obliged.
"It was a good visit," said Clinton after a meeting that lasted almost an hour in Reagan's 34th-floor office suite near the old back lot of Twentieth Century Fox.
Clinton has expressed admiration for Reagan's ability to get his agenda through Congress and to inspire a sense of optimism and hope."
"Obama's assertion that Reagan changed the country in a profound way by moving it to the right is entirely value-neutral; he never says this was a "good" change, merely that it was a big change. This strikes me as inarguable. The majority Reagan created remains in control of the country to this day, including many people who considered themselves crossover voters, "Reagan Democrats."
