Obama, then is not the heir apparent of Bill Clinton

After his comments that Reagan, not Clinton, really made a difference?

Newsweek's Jonathan Alter, in the post Iowa pre New Hampshire coronation issue:

In 1992, the Clinton campaign came up with a theme song that evoked the message they hoped would turn a 46-year-old obscure Arkansas governor into the president of the United States: "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" by Fleetwood Mac. Now it's Barack Obama, also age 46, who has the claim on tomorrow, which is where presidential campaigns have almost always been won in this country. Hillary Clinton still has a chance to recover, but she's bucking this history. Although it would crimp his own foundation work, Bill Clinton desperately wants his wife to be president. But he knows "in his bones," as he likes to say in other contexts, that Obama may be his truest heir.

Incidently, Obama never said he supported the reagan policies

It is very similar to when Time Magazine out of fear removed "bin laden" from the person of the year award. The person of the year award doesn't represent whether he is good or bad, but rather who had the most impact. There is no question that bin laden changed the word and America as we know it. Was it a good thing, NO, but did it happen, YES
