:-) Being the Reagan that Reagan never was. That's very funny really. Reagan was a weird guy- never weirder, imo, than during the Iran contra trial. I watched that absolutely mesmerized. What a fiasco. But like Obama, Reagan was "inspirational"- and hope and inspiration appeal a lot more to the American people than things like "reality"- and as long as you don't let them down too much (as Bush did with the Iraq war) the American people will prefer to stay hopeful, no matter what little shenanigans the president is up to (like joking around about WWIII, or selling arms for hostages). I think Obama is probably the closest thing we've had to Reagan since Reagan. He is good looking, charming, and relentlessly chipper- just like the Gipper, only on the other side. No wonder conservatives are quaking in their booties :-)
