I knew Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was a friend of mine. And Mitt Romney is reminding me an awful lot of Ronald Reagan.
The comments for which Romney is being so relentlessly and viciously scorned by Barack Obama and his merry band of media puppets sounds to me exactly like comments Ronald Reagan would have made.
It is indeed "disgraceful" for the US government to respond to the threat of an attack against an American embassy by issuing a statement condemning "the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims" and denouncing hurting their feelings as an "abuse" of free speech - and then as the embassy was being overrun and our flag burned issuing another statement saying they stand by that.
"It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."
Mitt Romney was simply but forcefully expressing, as Ronald Reagan so often did, what most Americans think and how they feel. And you can bet the Obama campaign realized this and found it frightening.
They said that they were "shocked" that Romney "would choose to launch a political attack" -- the usual and expected sort of political statement gibberish -- but isn't it revealing what they did? The Obama White House asked its media allies to report that the statement that Romney took such exception to "doesn't reflect the views of the U.S. government."

Pragmatism would make you point out reasons to support Mitt, including direct comparison to Obama.
You merely sling the liberal line, FRiend.
So what does your personal decision making process have to do with attempting to shame a fellow conservative with ‘support Romney with enthusiasm or you’re a liberal’ as an approach to drumming up support?
That’s what I pinged you about, originally, FRiend.
I object to the BS accusations of being liberal if someone notices that Romney isn’t a deeply convicted conservative. (And believe me, he is NOT that.)
I must apologize, with a hearty mea cupla. You are correct, you did not say “support R/R or you support Obama”.
I am not sure why I had thought you did say something like that, but I am sorry for impugning you without reason.
Have a great day, FRiend.
Stop it, or I’ll find an unflattering shot of Regan.
Ooops...Reagan
Go ahead. Make my day.
