Lol. That’s probably true. Obama had more in common Reagan than FDR. He was basically a republican, even his healthcare plan was taken from a republican.
Wow, dude. Far out.
As a Reagan fan since 1968, I have to say that Barack Obama resembled Ronald Reagan in only one area--the ability to deliver a speech well.
Reagan was an opponent of "socialized medicine" from at least as early as the early 1960s. He never endorsed anything remotely resembling ObamaCare.
Obama may have ended up a disappointment from a liberal perspective because he used all his political capital to get ObamaCare rammed through without a single Republican vote. But that cost him the House in the 2010 mid-terms, and he could only impose big-government solutions after that through executive orders and threats to veto budgets.
So, as I said, he might have disappointed liberals, but it wasn't because he didn't try to be a bigger taxer-and-spender. He did the best he could to deliver on his very liberal 2008 campaign rhetoric, but the GOP House blocked him after his first two years.
I was disappointed in him because he wasn't able to celebrate, or help black Americans celebrate, the fact that America had elected a black man as POTUS. And not just any black man, but little-known one without any major accomplishments but with a sketchy past. He had an opportunity to really do something there, and he never really tried.
Maybe it was more than he could do to say something good about our country. Another difference from Ronald Reagan, who celebrated America at every opportunity.
