Flap Over Obama Reagan Comments

This controversy over Obama's comments discussing Reagan is just silly and false. Here's a good quote from the WSJ:

Supposedly Mr. Obama committed a grievous blunder by nodding at the achievement of one of the most consequential Presidencies of the 20th century. If the rest of the Democrats can't even recognize the same, it suggests that the change they have in mind is back to the 1960s and '70s.

Ronald Reagan was wrong on many things, but it can not be denied that he was a leader who brought together people who had not previously voted for Republican candidates. These people are sometimes called "Reagan Democrats," and they were the key to his ability to win in back-to-back landslide elections.

It is clear to me that Barack Obama is clearly a progressive leader with the potential to bring together a diverse coalition for progressive change just as Ronald Reagan brought together a diverse coalition for conservative change.
