What is this?
Reagan's jab was unfair
Published Monday, January 26, 2009
I have always been an independent voter. I vote as I feel for the man or woman running for office. I helped vote George Bush in for the 2000 election and then tried my best to vote him out in 2004, as I could see where he was going.
Long ago, I found Mike Reagan to be a dyed-in-the-wool Republican and, therefore, knew his opinions were biased and very seldom read his column.
On Sunday, something caught my eye. He continued to bash the words of our new President and even quoted the sadistic Rush Limbaugh for collaboration. I will not read any more of Mike Reagan and I wonder why your newspaper continues to carry his column.
He is putting Barack Obama down after only six days in office. Four years will tell if he can straighten up the mess that George Bush has made of our economy and involvement in two wars.

Oh pleaseeeeeeeeeee,you want to comapare one guy to a whole damn network? You are upset over Reagans remarks? Well that clears that up. For a moment I was beginning to think that MSNBC, Chris Matthews (Mr Tingly) and Keith Oblermann (moron) might be biased.
In regard to Obama and having only been in office 6 days. During those 6 days, he hasnt put America first.
1) Closes Gitmo
2) Closes CIA prisons
3) Halts trials of terrorists
4) Announces he is eager to talk to Iran and find out what they want us to do
5) Asks for timetable for Iraq pullout
6) Banned "abuse" to terrorists held prisoner
7) Gives first network interview to Arabic TV station.
Chairman O our leader sure has a lot more empathy for the Gitmo inmates than he does for the unborn. It's too bad we can't get a few unborn children to be declared as terrorists.
As for disagreeing, my how things have changed. Rush is called out by the president, Right wing radio is called out at the personal level by a man who is the president of the country, He has become more thin skinned that what he was during the debates and primaries.
Remember this?

Well now lets look at the domestic side of the issue Mr Bright. “Obama has now basically said that ‘my key political opposition is Rush Limbaugh." Smart move Chairman O, all you have done is brought attention to your problem with a radio talk show host. Says lots to our enemies who surely are paying attention to the game films of this stupid response. If you cant deal with Rush how the heck are you going to deal with Chavez, Dinnerjacket,the midget from N. Korea and the Castro brothers? Hamas and yes Hizbolla Putin and other international leaders. Were you mad at the Mrs for making you go outside to smoke your cools?
George W. Bush spent eight years in the center of a circular firing squad how many times did he call out one particular media opponent? Again, how many times have Democrats obstructed President Bush's attempt to fix Social Security, and opposed (and are now dismantling) his policies that kept us safe from terror attacks? How many times have liberals wished for more troop and civilian casualties in Iraq so they could boast about our losing the war? How many times have they called for President Bush's imprisonment and/or death?
And now because Rush Limbaugh told the truth; that he hoped Obama fails because success means America fails, Democrats are not only up in arms, but have their hands out as well.
How sleazy.
President Obama maked a fundamental mistake in his attempt to soothe the Islamic world. It was not the United States and the West that choose to be the "enemy" of the Islamic world. It is the Islamic world (or atleast large segments of it) that has choosen to be the "enemy" of the United States and the West. The only ones who can change that choice live in the Islamic world. We, in the West, can only choose whether we wish to defend ourselves from our self-choosen enemies or fall to them.
I wish, just for once, that SOMEONE whom Obama will actually listen to, would tell him he is the President of the United States of America, not of the World. His job is to look out for the best interests of America, not the best interests of any other nation unless those interests coincide with the United States' interests (like say, Israel - a democratic government which has gone SO FAR out of it's way with its ACTIONS to make peace with the Muslim World, that it has jeopardized the safety of IT'S citizens).
Good thing that Rush hasnt spoken out on the international issues. He would end up with the same fate that 33 others did at the hand of the Clinton machine. Now you have to deal with Chicago style politics.
I saw the vidoe of the interview with the Muslim TV network and I realized one thing, Was the Chosen One bending over & grabbing his ankles for them? Actually no. He is bending all of us over, and requesting we grab ours.
