An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Comparing Apples and Oranges
I know I can’t be the only person who finds people comparing Obama, including Obama himself, to Ronald Reagan highly amusing, in a sort of sick, demented way! So, when I came across this Washington Times editorial, I just had to do a wee bit of copy and paste!
Reagan: Fostered national pride in the military.
Obama: Fostered gay pride in the military.
Reagan: We begin bombing in five minutes.
Obama: We begin golfing in five minutes.
Reagan: Made big government a bad word.
Obama: Made big government a bad dream.
Reagan: A shining city on a hill.
Obama: A home mortgage under water.
Reagan: Just say no.
Obama: Yes we can!
Reagan: Stood up to the Soviets.
Obama: Bowed to the Saudis.
Reagan: “Tear down this wall.”

Reagan: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”
Obama: We are that generation.
Reagan: Morning in America.
Obama: Mourning for America.
Reagan: “Man is not free unless government is limited.”
Obama: Man is not limited unless government is free.
Reagan: “Government programs, once launched, never disappear.”
Obama: That’s the plan.
Reagan: “The best minds are not in government.”
Obama: The best mind is in the Oval Office.
Reagan: “I did not take the oath I have just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world’s strongest economy.”
Obama: It’s all Bush’s fault.
Reagan: Our adversaries “counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong.”
Obama: Who else can I apologize to?
Reagan: “Trust, but verify.”
Obama: Let’s do whatever Putin wants.

Obama: Abortion is paid for.
Reagan: Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican.
Obama: Thou shalt not speak to any Republican.

Obama: Appointed a wise Latina
Reagan: A citizen-politician
Obama: A citizen (?) politician
Reagan: Proposed a missile defense
Obama: Disposed of missile defense
Reagan: “Go ahead, make my day.”
Obama: Go ahead, tax and spend.
Reagan: The nine most terrifying words in the English language are:
Obama: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
Reagan: “Let’s not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.”
Obama: Why not?
Reagan: Middle class values
Obama: Middle class tax hikes
Reagan: “Information is the oxygen of the modern age.”
Obama: Invented the internet kill switch.
Reagan: Supported the death penalty
Obama: Supports the death panels
Reagan: “I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead.”
Obama: Let me get back to you on that one.
Barack Hussein Obama is absolutely NO Ronald Wilson Reagan! Reagan loved this country and her people. Obama shows nothing but contempt for both. The difference between the two could not be more extreme! Day and night! Good and evil! Reagan was a leader. Obama is an arrogant, spoiled brat. It’s DEFINITELY time for a change, so we can get back our hope!
