Meathead " Obama is like Reagan"

[The Rabbi]

Funny how the Republicans in this image tend to spend more overall than the left...go figure the party of smaller government tends to be the bigger spenders.

Well Regan had to end the cold war by spending the Soviets into the dirt. GB1 had the first gulf war and GB2 had the war on terror and still barry has out spent them while military spending by him has been slashed.

If that lets you sleep at night

Well, that and the fact that Congress was dominated by Democrats during those big spending years. It was dominated by Republicans only under Clinton. Is that a clue?

Obama right now, where Obama is is right around where Reagan was, right around where Nixon was. There, he’s no more left than those, those, those Republicans.

Yes, what an interesting dialogue. I bookmarked it yesterday and here are some highlights from that link: ( video )

Analysis:


The ignorance on display was amazing.

Ronald Reagan was a fiscal and social conservative forced to work with a liberal Congress. Obama is a fiscal and social liberal initially working with a Democrat-controlled Congress and now a Democrat Senate and a Republican House.

Likening Obama to Reagan is akin to equating scotch and vodka.

Now it's certainly true that the Republican Party as a result of the Tea Party has moved to the right. However, this movement started in 1994 when the GOP took over Congress.

As for Maher's claim that the Democrats have moved to the center, this is belied by their leader in the House being Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and in the Senate Harry Reid (D.Nev.).

The reality is the Democrats made a concerted move to the left in 2002 away from the centrism of Bill Clinton when they decided to name Pelosi as their leader in the House instead of the more moderate Harold Ford Jr. (D-Tenn.) who has since left Congress.

Frankly, I don't think he'd be welcomed back by the Democrats for he's now far to the right of most of them; one could make the case that Bill Clinton himself couldn't be a member of Congress as a Democrat today.

Just ask former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) who before his recent retirement became an independent because of how far to the left his party had moved.

Not surprisingly, Maher and Reiner don't factor in such inconvenient historical truths when they offer fallacious political opinions.

How could they? They'd be invalidating their own points.

Comparing Reagan to Obama is like comparing a thoroughbred racehorse to a jackass, which appropriately enough is the symbol of the Democratic party.
