Posted on February 11, 2011 at 5:22pmIt doesn’t matter who they replace him with. Because they will be just as elusive with information as Gibbs. Democrats will and and cannot tell the truth when it comes to the people of AMERICA. Because they know if they did they wouldn’t ever get back in office.

Posted on February 11, 2011 at 4:49pmReagan was a man of principle, honor, resolve and determination who believed deeply in the values of American greatness. That integrity matters and a clearly stated position is required in order to lead.
Report Post »That truth and honor are values bridge difference – not boot licking appeasement.
You can total up the entire progressive movement (the whole miserable century of it) and not come across enough to fill Reagan’s pinky nail..
Reagan never demeaned, let alone demonized another American. Those are alinsky principles and cannot reside where honor and integrity are rooted.

Judging from the answers those give within his administration to Congress, the media, etc. (Examples: Clapper {Mr. The Muslim Brotherhood is Secular}, Podesta {I get my information from the media}, Napolitano {the year is 364 days long}, etc.) my guess is they talk about basketball.

Posted on February 12, 2011 at 12:22am“Take one for the Gipper”???????? I saw the press conference and heard him say that. Immediately I realized this is a focus-group allusion to Ronald Reagan. Of course, Obama referred to himself as the Gipper.
There is something striking in what Obama said. The line in the movie is “Win just one for the Gipper.” Funny how Obama’s line was essentially asking someone to sacrifice for him (”Take one for the Gipper.”) The actual quote “Win just one for the Gipper” was someone asking another to succeed for the both of them. Kind of makes you see how Obama‘s character is different from the Gipper’s.
