Michael Reagan Now Finds Obama's Campaign "Reaganesque"?

by Damozel | Dave Wednesday at Crooks and Liars writes:

On Oct. 30, Reagan wrote for NewsMax.com, "To anyone familiar with socialism, Obama's programs fit comfortably within the pages of Karl Marx's playbook, the root of which is the redistribution of the wealth, the key to the entire Obamian vault."

And now?  C&L would like to draw your attention to this.

This morning, Reagan said, "That's why maybe 30% of conservatives voted for barack obama or didn't vote at all because his message literally — at the end of the campaign — was a conservative campaign. It was Ronald Reaganesque."

To which commenter adnan retorted---and since I well recall the shameful Reagan years, I am grateful---

Reagan almost tripled the federal debt. During his administration, we went from the world's biggest lender to the greatest debtor. Cheney invoked Reagan in defending deficits.

Reagan created the myth of the welfare queen and believed that the homeless were homeless by choice. Two of his children, Patty and Ron Jr., have said that it was impossible to talk about social issues with him because he was in his own world, and did not listen.

Reagan did not give press conferences for the last three years of his presidency. He stopped because his staff increasingly had to clarify his statements. I surmise that this was an early sign of Alzheimer's.

Reagan was an actor, and we've had another hollow shell for 8 years. Obama is incredibly intelligent and well informed, and his policies are intended to make life better for the majority. They are nothing alike.

The Raw Story reports:

Right-wing radio talk host Michael Reagan, who earlier accused President-elect Obama of socialist tendencies, on Wednesday called his campaign instead conservative, even "Ronald Reagan-esque," as his accompanying Fox panelists hailed Obama's "more centrist" cabinet picks.

"Things happen to you," Reagan said. "When you get elected President of the United States, and you're President-elect, and you start to get brought up to date every day on what's going on in the world, your life does change. And my father once said, 'You're elected President, but one day you become the President.' Right now Barack Obama is making that transition to becoming President of the United States. There's plenty of time to go after him after January 20."

I have no idea what that means.
