Obama scares the bejesus out of Freepers.

I've noticed this for some time.

"Rivals Blast Obama's Praise for Reagan"
This is not good news. Obama is getting very good advice. He is already playing to the center, before he is accused of pandering. He will get more attention from middle of the road voters with statements like these and keep media attention on him. He will get more fawning news coverage from idiots like Chris Matthews and get more Republicans like Denzel Washington to join his team.

Obama is very very dangerous.

This guy is going to be very seductive to a lot of Republican leaning voters, and independents.

I’m glad he’s calling out the Clintons, and acknowledging the monumental change that Reagan brought. But his policies are pretty much opposite of everything I believe in.

He’s probably a pretty cool guy to hang out with though.

So much for the universal virtue of “bi-partisanship” or “maverick” senators. Obama describes something he finds appealing in Reagan, and he’s branded as if he’s Eichmann.

Say what we want about Obama, that took a pretty big set of gonads to say.

I’m not going to rip the guy until he’s taken the beast out.

Obama told the Reno Gazette-Journal editorial board Monday that "Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it," Obama said.
What an innocuous statement. He didn't claim that Reagan changed it in the right way in his eyes. He just said that Reagan changed it. The difference between the Carter administration and the mood of the country then was enormously different than it was during the Reagan administration. Dictionaries even removed the word "malaise" except as an archaic form.

Would anyone argue if I said:


"Franklin Roosevelt changed the trajectory of America in a way that Woodrow Wilson did not and in a way that Herbert Hoover did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it,"

This just shows how eager the Dems are to tear each other up. It's like a pair of pit bulls and an ill tempered Shetland pony.

Obama throws a Major League curve ball. If he starts saying nice things about Harding and Coolidge, then I’ll really be impressed.

Especially if we're brain-dead enough to nominate McCain or Huckabee for President.

I'm not saying that this is particularly meaningful, but it is interesting.

[qanda]

1. I wonder if Denzel knows he's a Republican?

Somebody may want to send him a link so that he can begin to understand his political leanings and govern himself accordingly.

[FrenchieCat]

2. Is he?

Cause I love me some Denzel...but if it is the case, I'm changing my dream topic.

[qanda]

12. I don't think he's ever stated his political view

His wife has given money to Obama. You know I was checking cause I love me some Denzel too!

[jpgray]

3. Obama would clobber any GOP candidate running, I believe

Unless it's McCain, in which case we'd have to see which side the media line up behind, but I still think Barack would win.

[Perry Logan]

4. So much for sucking up to the GOP...

[cali]

5. but of course he didn't.

and anyway, in light of those comments and the fact that freepers are no more representative of repukes than DUers are of dems, your comments are, as usual, lacking- and inane.

[FrenchieCat]

6. Whatever.....

Totally baseless.

No one is sucking on anything, although my daughters learn about a BJ from their President.

[rucky]

7. Obama scares the bejeezus out of PARTISANS. nt

[BeyondGeography]

8. "Say what we want about Obama, that took a pretty big set of gonads to say."

That's probably my favorite.

Fun post there, cali.

[cali]

10. I've been curious about what the other side thinks and having

visited several puke sites, there's no doubt that Obama really concerns them. They'd much rather run against Hill.

[BeyondGeography]

11. Americans love the unity message and most want to vote for a Democrat this year

now, if he can only get past the machine and the questionable judgment of older, registered Democrats (what's their track record in picking winners again?), we'll be fine.

[ursi]

9. this is so true. I met a young black man at the Obama event near here

who was attending to do "oppositional research" on Obama for the McCain campaign. We got to talking. I think I scared the crap out of him when I told him of how Republicans were talking about switching to vote for Obama ...

He was a nice young man. I got into a debate about why he wasn't in Iraq fighting with his peers for the Bush policy that he said was succeeding. He couldn't look me in the eye when he answered that he was doing his part by supporting McCain. It was lame.

when Obama got up on that stage, the kid's face lit up like he was seeing a rock star. It wasn't long before he was clapping.
