If Obama wins, to put it bluntly, he will become the Democrats’ Reagan. The narrative writes itself. He will emerge as an iconic figure who struggled through a recession and a terrorized world, reshaping the economy within it, passing universal health care, strafing the ranks of al -Qaeda, presiding over a civil-rights revolution, and then enjoying the fruits of the recovery.

Interesting observations.

And Andrew Sullivan, who wrote the piece, is a Conservative.

Meaningless.

The problem with the "Conservative Revolution" is that "conservative" really doesn't mean anything. It's a fashionable term, so they all try to position themselves as "conservatives."

A few examples should suffice. William F. Buckley is a conservative. He has written that the War on Drugs is an immoral and unjust abuse of governmental power and an infringement on our constitutional rights. William Bennett is also a conservative, and he the only thing wrong with the War on Drugs is that they haven't locked up enough people yet.

Phil Gramm is a conservative, and he believes in free trade. Patrick Buchanan is a conservative, and he believes in protective tariffs and other trade restrictions.

Reagan only became "significant after the Reagan Legacy Project in the late 90's.

I agree with the part you quoted. The economy is improving and no matter who's in the white house, it will continue to improve. If Obama wins main stream America will forget his failures and only remember that he was the man in the chair for what many have started calling "The Great Recession". He will spend the res of his life being the democrats Reagan and a thorn in the GOP's side.

Obama isn't fit/qualified to wipe Reagan's ass.

Reagan didn't hate the country he was President of where he thought it needed, Transforming

he will have the opportunity to be all of that... whether or not he steps up to the plate and does it is an entirely different matter.

lol..

that's b/c it's written by a republican. but as much as i thought reagan was a horrible president and is single-handledly responsible for allowing the radical religious right their foothold in the GOP, he did make certain changes in our country and left a very large footprint.

why he did is an entirely different question.
