The idea of Reagan as cowboy savior of America's revenues, slasher of tax burdens and fiscal wizard extraordinaire is a perfect representation of the kind of "idiot America" culture we have come to glorify!
Think about it. We worship fakers like John Wayne, who would have shit his pants if he ever had to go near a real war. Reagan often made claims of being a war hero, and there is evidence he really thought he was. If Obama made claim #1 even remotely resembling this, he would, and this may not be a nice or pleasant thing for me to say or even imply, be ASSASSINATED by some right wing militia within a week! At the very minimum FOX NEWS would be screaming TREASON and the Secret Service would be on the look out for Sarah with the Palin family rifle looking to get in a shot!
It is just like I said about people thinking Judge Judy is a Supreme Court Justice and being reliant on GPS devices to tell them everything, including how to do their taxes and WALK TO PLACES!
The worst part about it is Ronald Reagan is the ultimate cult of personality that people accuse Obama of being. Almost everything about the man is a complete myth! People think Democrats idolize Obama and make him out to be someone who walks on water(as Peggy Noonan LITERALLY claimed Reagan did). Not true now, and it will certainly not be true years after he is dead!! Want to talk style over substance, Reagan is your guy. In fact, even if you buy this about Obama(which some wrongly do, he clearly knows the issues and can discuss them and is more intelligent/serious than Reagan, but set that aside for a second), you have to admit that Reagan was the one who "made it ok" so to speak!
Every Republican running for office today has to bow down at the altar of a long dead figure head who left office before the world knew Lovetown, the end of the Soviet Union, the breaking up of Yugoslavia, Achtung Baby, Zoo TV, ATYCLB, Vertigo and 360! Please!
