“Liberal Larry” makes some interesting points over at his blog:
Alright already! Reagan’s dead! Bury him and get over it!
In 2030, when former president Bill Clinton loses his brave, 10-year battle with syphillis, I doubt there will as much fawning coverage as there has been for this evil Ray-Gun fascist.
He has it all previewed. And the comments are almost as good.
The difference is Reagan’s economic policy produced positive change and got us out of horrible inflation – and he did this little thing called ENDING THE COLD WAR. Clinton – the economy was already getting better when he came into office and was in a recession before he left. The dot-com boom had a huge impact and the Prez had NOTHING to do with that and what it did for our economy. He did nothing positive to note but had plenty for us to remember him by: disgraced the office, sold nuclear secrets, sold the Lincoln bedroom, stealing items from OUR White House – oh and broke the law by LYING under oath.
The only thing Clinton and Reagan had in common is they both served two terms…
