The recent Republican debate made me think of Reagan, not so fondly but after all it was in his library in Simi Valley……let me elaborate……

Well, we all know what the media thinks about Obama and his handling of the economic crisis…..we know what the media thinks…..and the GOP and the Left wing of the Dems……we know that he is NOT doing enough for the jobs creation market…..we know all the socialists programs that are failing (sarcasm)…….but we know that I am not a big defender of the Prez because I feel he has not gone far enough……but I must break my pledge….

Here we go!  All the old farts in the media…..Stahl, Brokaw, Noonan, Dowd, etc, etc……you know the ones that have been around since Christ was a corporal…..anyway…..mot of these pundits like to compare Obama to Reagan;s first term…..they talk about his decisiveness, his humor, his mannerisms, etc….then they talk about Obama’s lack of leadership, indecisiveness, his lack of communication, etc….you have heard it all…..but every time I hear these overpaid (insert derogatory term) make this comparison I want to throw a brick at the tellie…..

It must be the “old fart syndrome”……..they think that because they covered Reagan in his hay day that some how gives them some sort of special insight into the presidency…….it does NOT!  It makes them look OLD and out of touch!

This is an extremely unfair comparison…..why?  Reagan did NOT have to deal with a 24/7 news cycle….he did not have to deal with the extreme partisanship…….he did not have to deal with lack of respect or lack of unity or the lack of civility…..and Reagan did NOT have to live with daily polling…….so it is moronic to compare Reagan and Obama.  Time for the media to grasp the reality that yesterday’s analysis does NOT and will Not fit in today’s 24/7 news cycle……

Comparing Apples To Oranges…….STOP IT!
