Reagan Derangement Syndrome

I told you so. Obama is getting it from his rivals in the Democratic Party for using Ronaldus Maximus Reagan as an example of positive change, optimism, dynamism, and entrepreneurship.

"Ronald Reagan, the man who busted unions, the man who did everything in his power to destroy the organized labor movement, the man who created a tax structure that favored the richest Americans against middle class and working families, ... we know that Ronald Reagan is not an example of change for a presidential candidate running in the Democratic Party ... I would never use Ronald Reagan as an example of change."

-- John Edwards, criticizing Barack Obama's praise of Ronald Reagan

Reagan "busted" unions in the sense that he effectively curbed their abuses. Liberals will take their bitter hate toward the Gipper to their grave.

Hillary "Me Too" Clinton piled on by spewing her drivel. "That's not the way I remember the last ten to fifteen years," she retorted. That's not really saying much since her responses to questions under oath before grand juries in the past consisted mainly of statements such as "I can't recall," and "I don't remember." Pitiful.
