Obama just signed the Reagan Centennial bill ......

[Stinky The Clown]

I will not be joining in the celebrations that will be the fruit of this bill.

[Captain Hilts]

1. He was over-celebrated while still alive. Even GF Will said folks needed to stop naming stuff

after him. That it had gotten out of hand.

[chimpymustgo]

2. It's like the French obsession with Jerry Lewis. Inexplicable.

[Soylent Brice]

40. !!

:spray:

perfect analogy.

[DCKit]

20. But the sewage treatment plant named after #43* is appropriate....

provided they wait until it breaks down and floods the city first.

[rurallib]

3. OH boy, when is St. Ronny Day?

We can celebrate by busting some unions and sending some factories overseas.

[lpbk2713]

29. Isn't that what we observe on April first?

:shrug:

[deaniac21]

30. Mr. Clinton signed NAFTA.

[LynneSin]

4. As much as I can't stand Reagan I'm also not bothered by this

Obama can once again say he 'reached across the aisle' and this will have little other impact on us.

[Captain Hilts]

6. I would agree, but DC's airport has been named for him, the largest Federal bldg in DC

has been named for him and one of the navy's largest ships has been named for him.

All while he was still alive.

The Ronald Reagan Legacy Commission was very effective.

[magellan]

35. Flordia's Turnpike too

312 miles formerly called the Sunshine State Parkway, since 1998 the Ronald Reagan Turnpike.

Republicans do admire their criminals.

[FiveGoodMen]

21. 'across the aisle' are the enemies of the old free republic called America

Reaching to them without a sword in hard is a betrayal of all we were taught growing up.

[LynneSin]

26. Oh I agree

Just that there isn't much this bill causes other than a recognition that the guy was born 100 years ago.

[FiveGoodMen]

27. The right seems to get a second wind every time his name is mentioned.

I just wish Dem leaders wouldn't talk about him without detailing some of the damage that he caused.

[choie]

37. I'm waiting for Obama to make a gesture to the "left"

hasn't happened yet.

[EFerrari]

34. Obama had to sign it but this continued "celebration" of that felon

keeps reinforcing the idea that he was good for this country.

When the wing nuttery starts their song and dance, we better be ready to counter their cr@p because the Democrats can't.

[Kadie]

5. Why don't they just change Christmas to Ronald Reagan Day and be done with it.

It seems like that is the direction they are headed.

:evilgrin:

[madrchsod]

7. can i have an ounce of pity........

i live in the home town of saint ronald reagan

the dumb ass republicans are raising money for a 35 ft statue of ronnie on a horse to be put on our brand new pork barrel funded waterfront park.

[madamesilverspurs]

23. Your consolation. . .

pigeons.

[madrchsod]

33. no pigeons we have ducks and geese year round

mayflies in the spring and the smell of dead catfish in the late summer.

[izquierdista]

8. I'll celebrate

I'll do just like beloved Ronnie and forget as much as I can about his presidency.

[T Wolf]

9. Celebrate Raygun - forget your name, shit your pants, and kill millions by ignoring AIDS.

[drm604]

14. I never liked Reagan, but the Alzheimers joke are NOT appropriate. n/t

[T Wolf]

25. If he had quietly stayed home with his disease, I would agree. But the world suffered from

the damage and death he and his administration brought to us all. His state of "mind" is fair game.

[Psychic Consortium]

10. Obama understands the nature of power more than any president in recent history.

How to obtain it, how to keep it, how to use it.

[Captain Hilts]

12. True. But Nancy Reagan hated both sets of Bushes and the Clintons. I think she really wants back in

the White House.

The White House staff just hated her, actually. The full dress rehearsals for state dinners that she insisted being done - as if the White House staff doesn't know how to do these things - left a lot of bad blood between NR and the staff.

[T Wolf]

22. Obtain it by pretending to be a Democrat. Keep it by selling out to the corporate powers.

Use it in service to Wall Street, to increase the budgets of the Pentagon & MIC, and lock out anything resembling a liberal point of view from your administration.

Does that cover Obama's understanding?

[SammyWinstonJack]

32. I think that about covers it.

:thumbsup:

[Psychic Consortium]

41. Obama will be one of the greatest American presidents.....

Those on both sides who underestimate him will be quite surprised
at the progress he makes.

[FiveGoodMen]

24. ...How to drive the last nail into America's coffin with it.

[Psychic Consortium]

42. McCain/Palin would have driven the last nail into the US coffin.

Obama moves us into the 21st century brilliantly.

[FiveGoodMen]

43. Your name should be Psychotic rather than Psychic

[uppityperson]

11. Raygun was a fool and a tool used by papabush&co

[Ezlivin]

13. Celebrate Reagan every 100 years? Sounds about right...

As long as they can keep the celebration silent and under a minute in length. That should suit him and his presidency.

[Hoopla Phil]

15. So, how long before he is on a coin? (I don't mean a commemorative one either)

The freepers will be crying for his face to be on the next one dollar coin or some such.

[Forkboy]

18. Upright Citizens Brigade already did the Ass Penny.

:)

[redqueen]

46. OMG... ass pennies?

I first heard of those in a Kevin Smith movie.

[mitchum]

36. Put him on the quarter since he was a two-bit actor

[Hoopla Phil]

38. LOL! That's funny!!!

[JHB]

16. What are they naming for him now? The California Bankrupcy?

That would be appropriate.

[kenny blankenship]

17. Ronald Reagan DESTROYED this country's future

George W. Bush just happened to be the latest avatar of Reagan in office when the inevitable collapse took place.

[MannyGoldstein]

19. "The Ronald Reagan Federal Debt"

That's a legacy he should own.

[Stinky The Clown]

48. I LIKE that framing.

Can I borrow it?

[MannyGoldstein]

49. Of Course

I borrowed it from a buddy.

[EFerrari]

28. We need counter celebrations -- to celebrate the end of Central American death squads,

to celebrate AIDs awareness, poverty abatement warriors, and labor heroes. If the Feds are going to fund this, then our events should get funds, too.

Fuck Raygun.

[WI_DEM]

31. Come on, any other president, dem or rep would be doing the same thing.

[Captain Hilts]

44. Absolutely true. nt

[Javaman]

39. 'Satanist' dances on Reagan's grave

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45663

I love this guy!

[redqueen]

45. "Can't nobody here play this game?"

[katty]

47. Ronnie Reagan Centen?! why? he's an ACTOR - he was the

perfect candidate for rightwing hypnosis...it worked and the PTB HIRED him.

[Canuckistanian]

50. Maybe they can have a Puppet Show

[HughBeaumont]

51. Reagan - the gateway drug to unbridled disaster capitalism.

A centennial of corruption.

[Hepburn]

52. What other presidents have been honored like this?

Ronnie is somehow special??? Sheesh...:eyes:

[ShortnFiery]

53. ...

:puke:

Here in the D.C. area one of the key "tells" that differentiate democrats from republicans is how an individual refers to our LOCAL airport:

Democrats = National Airport
Republicans = Reagan National Airport

It's a sly and covert tell but AN INDICATOR none-the-less. :evilgrin:

[Raineyb]

54. How do we undo the damage Reagan did if we keep naming shit after the son of a bitch? n/t
