142. Reagan ran on greed, hate (ironically racial hatred) and dirty tricks.
Obama does not know his history. Reagan's message of hope was code for racism and greed. That's all Reagan was about. Obama had better go home and start studying. His statements about the past are embarrassingly ignorant.

Obama was born in 1961. That means he was 18 in 1979. He graduated from high school in 1979, so he still would have been living at his grandmother's home in Honolulu or just starting at Occidental College? I am seriously wondering if the reason Obama has not talked much about his mid-western/Hawaiian grandmother is that she was a Reagan supporter. I have no evidence for this other than Obama's statements on Reagan.

Reagan was a fad. He did nothing for America. Does Obama know what he is talking about at all on when he talks about the past? Have we heard from any of his friends in high school and college with regard to his political views? I am asking real questions on this.

We know that Hillary was a Goldwater Girl. At least she is forthright and honest about it. What were Obama's views about Reagan back in 1979? I won't hold it against him if he supported him, but I think this should be talked about now.

I just have this strange feeling that a lot of people are supporting Obama without knowing much about him.
