Barack Obama hasn't yet served a single day in office yet MSN Money writer, Jon Markham, has confidence that he can solve our economic problems for the most fatuous of reasons: he is a good speaker like Ronald Reagan which is why his article is titled, "Why Obama is the new Reagan." In fact, the actual economic policies themselves take a backseat to eloquence according to Markham. First Markham sets up the economic challenge facing Obama (emphasis mine):

‘Why Obama Is the New Reagan’

This person should be hung by his toenails and caned!!!

[mulligan]

You are being too kind!

"Reagan communicated because his message resonated. Obama succeeds, like Hitler, only because his delivery hypnotizes the weak-minded."

Spot on.

[cooperj]

if Nobama is such an eloquent speaker, why does this article cite quotes from Reagan and Churchill but none from the Zero himself?

[Arizona Carolyn]

The title alone is a load of @rap.

Hope: You're to weak, feeble and stupid to manage your own life, the government needs to do it for you.

Change: Free stuff.

‘Why Obama Is the New Reagan’ = News media says so!

[etradervic]

Obama is a step to the Left which is a step backward. Obama has no clue what to do to fix the economy or anything else for that matter.

Yep they do fail, and the only reason Clinton won a second term was due to the Republican congress and senate forcing him to the center.
The welfare reform act was a great piece of legislation that actually worked in reducing the welfare roles without causing more poverty. People actually went out and worked...who knew!!

HUH? THE MEDIA HATED RONALD REAGAN!!!!

Tom Brokaw called the Reagan years a disaster! Now they want to sell him as the next one!
I keep feeling like I woke up stepped out of bed and fell in a giant wormhole that transported me to Bizzaro world!

he is a good speaker like Ronald Reagan which is why his article is titled, "Why Obama is the new Reagan."

Hitler was also a good speaker, and he did it without a teleprompter.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Reagan had a degree in Economics, was Governor of Californa for 8 years, world’s 7th largest economy.
Now just what experience does Obama have here again to solve our problems???????

[Redgirl]

Yeah, they must think Uhhbama is a cowboy warmonger.

[Mojave]

This one?

[johnthebaptistmoore]

That headline doesn’t make any sense!

[AmericanVictory]

And, contrary to how he was portrayed by the MSM and the “intellectuals” at the time it turned out for years he had been writing down his thoughts and developing with increasing articulation and clarity his core principles.

What are the chances that Barrack Obama has been doing anything similar?
