While I was a bit too young...This is a great post. While I was a bit too young during the Reagan era (between 0 and 5 years old) to have an opinion of him, I definitely grew up among Reagan republicans and considered myself a republican until the George W. Bush administration (I believe I began lifting the veil somewhere around the latter half of September 2001).<br /><br />Funnily enough I can still technically say I voted for Reagan, as my mother brought my infant self into the voting booth with her and had me pull the lever. Forgive me father, for I knew not what I was doing...<br /><br />But I definitely agree that Obama is the farthest thing possible from a comforting leader. I think the last full speech I heard him make was his Oval Office address regarding the oil spill, and the whole time I was just shaking my head going, "No no no. Yeah, we're doomed."Kemstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473184057785218266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933030576267027676.post-69411238534968803622010-08-06T01:39:20.841-07:002010-08-06T01:39:20.841-07:00OK, I've heard too much conservatard veneratio...OK, I've heard too much conservatard veneration of Reagan recently. While I agree that his style of speech making engendered a feeling of safety and security, I wholly agree that his policies failed the U.S. people badly.<br /><br />I will say this for Ronnie though: The man NEVER took crap from ANYONE while he was in the White House. Ronnie by God let every nation on the face of the Earth know that America was a force to be reckoned with, that we had the means to destroy any nation AND the will to USE those means should we be given sufficient cause.<br /><br />Did I agree with his economic policies? HELL NO!<br /><br />But I honestly DO miss having a President who stood up to every foreign leader in the world and made me PROUD to be an American!TeoDragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361366757285162411noreply@blogger.com
