'A Little Blow'

By January 19, 20083 Comments

Whatever Barack Obama was puffing on before he sat down last week with that editorial board in Reno, he certainly stirred up a hornet’s nest. I came across this essay. Interesting.

    There are a lot of liberals that think the Democratic Party is not liberal enough for them anymore. Comments like this from one of the Party’s up-and-coming leaders only strengthens that belief.

    Greetings, I came over from Yankees for Justice. I like your commentary.

    I had not seen those Reagan comments before. I like Obama, but if he thinks ANYTHING Reagan did is going to play with people like me he is sorely mistaken.

    Thanks and welcome. I hope to have posted more but I caught a flu bug and have been bed-ridden.

    On the post, I love politics and I really, really want to like Obama. Comments like the one about Reagan (which I think is tactical but I don’t understand the tactic) is what’s keeping me from coming fully on board. Like Todd said, he’s a real bright star of the Democratic Party. The question is, where does he want to take the party?

    I hope it’s not in the direction that Reagan took the nation. Reagan did real and lasting damage.

    Thanks again. Michael
