Reply #52: uhh, those posts that I was talking about. [View All]

you know, where both Bill and Hillary wax poetic about Ronnie Ray-gun.

Not done at his funeral.

Sorry.

I'm sure you probably have seen them... I didn't bookmark.

I just find it humorous that you will absolutely tear down an accurate assessment of Ronnie... not his policies, but the person.

Do you think fondly of Tip O'Neill? I KNOW Hillary does. Guess who was Tip's bestest friend in Washington.

Yup, Ronald Wilson Reagan. Tip opposed everything that Reagan stood for... but they were best buds.

From wikipedia...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip_O'Neill#O.27Neill_at_odds_with_President_Ronald_Reagan

O'Neill became a leading opponent of the Reagan administration's domestic and defense policies. This political rivalry was comparable to that of Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. O'Neill called Reagan the most ignorant man who had ever occupied the White House. O'Neill also said that Reagan was "Herbert Hoover with a smile" and "a cheerleader for selfishness". He also said that Reagan's policies meant that his presidency meant it was "One big Christmas party for the rich". Privately, O'Neill and Reagan were always on cordial terms, or as Reagan himself put it in his memoirs, they were only friends "after 5PM"

So now what... does that change your opinion of Tip? Should it?

Why is everyone so bothered about "faint praise" that Obama gave Reagan, especially when the interviewer was asking about historical Presidents?

I really hated Reagan. But I don't care that Obama said something that might be construed as nice about the man. Him being dead and all that.

I guess I should be bothered that Hillary is taking money from Murdoch, seeing how Murdoch is one of the most evil persons on the planet, imho. And they pal around together. Bothers me a little... but I sure don't go on and on about it. Some Obama supporters do... but not me. Bothers me a lot more that she is a frequent visitor to a group called "The Fellowship" in Washington. Joins them for prayer services and conversation. Those people scare me more than Murdoch. But it doesn't seem to bother her supporters too much. So, well, I don't go on and on about that either.
