On Sunday, Washington Post staff writer Dan Balz compared the first term of Ronaldus Magnus with Imam Obama\u2019s. Clearly meant as a morale booster for Obama, the premise is that both presidents had to deal with a bad economy, but that didn\u2019t stop Reagan from being reelected by a landslide.<\/p>\n

Balz notes Obama\u2019s current 42 percent approval rating is “virtually identical to Reagan\u2019s in August 1982,” and, he writes, “The US economy experienced a growth surge in 1983 and 1984 that helped set the stage for Reagan\u2019s gauzy ‘Morning in America\u2019 ads and prepared the ground for his huge reelection victory.”<\/p>\n

Mr. Balz, that ‘Morning in America\u2019 message that you sneer at gave this country a sense of optimism,because they reflected President Reagan\u2019s genuine love of this country, and his profound belief in American goodness and American exceptionalism. All we get from Obama is apologies for America, a hatred for capitalism, and pessimism. More people than you care to admit believe that Obama is out to destroy the fabric of this nationbecause he believes its institutions and traditions are corrupt.<\/p>\n

Since Clinton, we haveheard, “It\u2019s the economy, stupid!” But it\u2019s more than the economy, stupid! Yes, Americans are sick of hearing Obama say, “we\u2019ve turned the corner,” when the economy\u2019s sucking wind,but more than that, Americans want a president who believes in themand the greatness of America itself. And that, Mr. Balz, we don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n

So stop wasting ink comparing Obama to Reagan. There\u2019s simply no comparison, and it\u2019s really, really insulting.<\/p>\n
