Our American Stalwart

Some in the dinosaur press and others in the political classes whose interests it serves are attempting to compare our current President Barack Hussein Obama to the greatest United States leader in modern times Ronald Wilson Reagan. This is a gross mischaracterization and a standard where Obama falls far short. Ronald Reagan embodied American optimism, he did not go around the world apologizing for our alleged misdeeds but rightly heralding our greatness and exceptionalism. Reagan was not embarrassed by our strength, nor negotiating it away but doing everything he could to enhance it. Reagan did not want to further a multi-polar structure of world power unlike Barack Hussein Obama who seems determined to squander America's strategic advantage but Reagan was aiming to defeat our super-power rival, the USSR and managed to vanquish the Soviets. Reagan stood by allies in their time of need while it seems Obama is content to sell our allies out (as may be readily seen in his treatment of Israel). Reagan was the foremost advocate of free market capitalism to ever sit in the Oval Office which is why the United States overcame the near depression Jimmy Carter had left us toiling under- those who under the Georgia peanut farmer could find work anyway. In any event, Ronald Wilson Reagan was indubitably induplicable, with his incomparable leadership returning us to our "shining city on a hill" while Barack Hussein Obama is a Trotskyite who is glib when reading from his teleprompter but is pushing the greatest nation there has ever been into the gutter.
