Just after Barack Obama won the White House in 2008, Time photoshopped him into an iconic FDR photo at the wheel of a convertible, jaunty cigarette-holder in mouth.

Obama was riding high as the champion of the left, the promise and personification of a born-again big-government New Deal. That was then, this is the 9+% unemployment, recent-shellacking now. So with which president does Time now find it in the president's interest to be associated? Why, Ronald Reagan, of course.

The new Time cover, unveiled by Time editor Rick Stengel on Morning Joe today, features a Photoshop of a smiling Obama and Reagan, the Gipper's arm draped around PBO. The legend: "Why Obama Loves Reagan," [a symbolic heart in place of "loves"].

sarah palin says on facebook:
Ronald Reagan said, “You can’t be for big government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy and still be for the little guy.” President Obama’s proposals last night stick the little guy with the bill, while big government and its big corporate partners prosper. The plain truth is our country simply cannot afford Barack Obama’s dream of an “exceptionally big government” that may help the big guys, but sticks it to the rest of us.

What Reagan would say regarding Obama: “Be scared, be very scared.”

Reagan would have loved Obama... because Obama is so easily exposed as a communist, then crushed in a debate.

Buchanan might not have been sincere but he was not joking. He described Obama as an amiable guy and surmised Reagan would have liked him.

Reagan was 6'1" tall. Obama is 6'1" tall.

Even with such an easily verified stat at the fingertips of virtually every American, Time still insists on making the bamster look inches taller.

The left is shameless.

I believe it, but with the caveat that Reagan was a kind and decent man who often personally liked political enemies.

I think this kind of offensive ‘humor’ really hurts the argument for the rest of us. It’s not even witty inf the least.
