9. Here is some context
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 01:39 AM by jackson_dem
In the same sentence he mentions the economic woes of the 1970's. In the next sentence he channels Reagan on "big government" by claiming government was spending too much. The sentence after that? Channels Reagan again and disses the government bureaucracy. Next? He says "a lot of liberal rhetoric" valued entitlements and rights (60's social programs and Warren Court rights from that period?) over "duties and responsibilities."

He does criticize Reagan and does not agree with Reagan's overall presidency but it is clear he agrees with some of what Reagan did. He seems to think we needed someone like Reagan.
