“By contrast, Obama already casts himself in legendary terms, referring in speeches to his legacy when he has scarcely clinched his party’s nomination.”
Reagan was never a megalomaniac, and not one to suffer delusions of grandeur. If anyone could be excused of such high self importance and regard and get away with it, it most definitely would have been the Gipper – but it was never his nature to claim credit for real and major changes he helped engender. Great leaders like Reagan are consistent, lead with strength and purpose, put their nation’s interest ahead of their own, never shy from major challenges and from those that seek to undermine America.
He loved his nation wholeheartedly with unquestionable pride, and the thought of having tea with the enemy and negotiating would without a doubt be viewed as noxious and asinine as Obama’s reluctance to place his hand on his heart during the national anthem or refusing to wear a patriotic lapel pin.
There’s nothing legendary about Obama, he’s a community agitator whose devotees are too blind to scratch below his flimsy veneer; too invested in his cult of personality to acknowledge flaws that reveal critical and very serious weaknesses, that ultimately if his candidacy is fulfilled can and will endanger us all. If he’s the Democrats answer to Reagan, God Help America.
