Not unless Obama is trying to position himself for the VP slot.
What Reagan ushered in was bad for America - and he was really just the figurehead. The hard right was already there, they just wanted someone to be their ticket to power. Reagan was happy to help.
I don't entirely disagree with him on Bill Clinton's changes not being effective in the long run - but I do think Clinton's greatest accomplishments will be unheralded (declassifying cold war docs, shepherding an open internet).
So .. if Obama wants to be like Reagan, what ideologues is he going to open the door for? Which movers is he going to put into key positions? Who will be his Casey? His Oliver North? Who will be his Poindexter?
