Incidentally, as Will writes, “America’s ‘progressive’ president has some peculiarly retro policies.” That’s a topic that Michael Barone explored in depth at the DC Examiner, and during my interview with him last month, on PJM Political.
Update: Don Surber asks a good question: “Who is the Ronald Reagan in APland? Osama bin Laden? Hugo Chavez? Robert Mugabe?”
