Reply #133: True but take a moment and look at Obama's Reagan comments

[Samantha]

I have been discussing this on several threads tonight. I truly despised Reagan and what he stood for, and remain today appalled by things he did. But one does not have to be inherently intelligent to be politically adroit. Think George W. Bush*. He too seized the campaign, and consider the Bush* results of the last 8 years. The two are very similar in character. Not too much there in the intelligence quotient scale but absolutely nothing lacking when it comes to "seizing" the campaign.

It not just "most Americans" but many so-called political junkies who cannot make that distinction, and that's a real disappointment.

What have we learned, to repeat the Morning Joe familiar question, in the last 30 years. Politically speaking: nothing.
