Of course, Reagan made critical decisions with the help of an astrologist, while this is just what a couple of irrelevant loons think of Obama....

"Light" I agree with, but not Lightworker. More like an empty suit, with a red halo.

"And I don't think Reagan ever attended a Church that featured "The White Liberation Theology."

"What did he say? I don't know. But I am going to vote for him." People do things for emotional reasons. Supposedly rational people making supposedly rational decisions are deeply influenced by emotion. Obama's appeal is deeply emotional. There's nothing wrong with that, and it's not particularly unusual. JFK appealed to emotion. Reagan appealed to emotion. For years, Bush, Rove and the GOP have especially relied on appeals to emotion. The key difference is the GOP has recently been exciting and exploiting negative emotions (fear, mostly). Obama excites positive emotions. The GOP's main strategy against him is to claim he's scary. This strategy is going to backfire because it will only serve to remind people that the GOP is all about fear, and that he is the opposite of that. Likewise for all the comments about him and his supporters which only serve to reveal that the commenter is cynical, bitter and mean-spirited. Most people don't miss Nixon (although Bush has done a good job of making Nixon look good). "Bush was carried most of the way." Indeed. Some people are born on third base and then try to take credit for hitting a home run.

TRoosevelt: One two-year term NY Governor
FDR: One four year term NY Governor
Reagan: Two four year terms California Governor
GWB: Two four year terms Texas Governor

Not bad company, Buck.

Funny how comparisons to Chauncey Gardner aren't made a little more often with respect to Senator Obama. He offers the same pablum that is interpreted by people to mean whatever it is they want to hear, seemed to come out of nowhere, and, now, he can apparently walk on water as well. I'd like to think this all was a joke, but having read Mark Morford before, I think he's serious. It's not just the New Age (pronounced to rhyme with sewage) aspect of this that is so creepy but the sheer desire to be hubristically delusional on his part that worries me most. How much human evolution does Mr. Morford think he has actually witnessed thus far in his lifetime? Maybe, if Senator Obama was really going to help us evolve, he might try to appeal to those portions of our brains beyond the limbic system. But hey, that's just me talking. Anyone have any idea what Mr. Morford thinks he means by spiritually advanced people? Excluding the religious nuts, of course.

Reagan fought all of his life against what Obama represents.

Not a very nice thing to say about Ronnie Reagan. I thought you folks were supposed to like him.

Reagan fought all of his life against what Obama represents. Wow. I know Reagan kicked off his campaign with a "state's rights" speech in a city famous for the murders of civil rights activists, but still, that's a pretty harsh thing to say about him there.

Zelsdorf... Among other things, Reagan was a pretty cool guy. That almost certainly means he would not have liked you. Don't presume to speak for him...

While we're comparing Obama and Reagan, why not compare him to Bush also?

As has been stated, Obama lacks a resume. Are any of you familiar with Bush's resume? Pretty much consists of one failure after another. (The Google - it's our friend.)

And, yes, Bush has traveled further than Obama. But Bush was carried most of the way. Obama walked it with his own two feet.

Those darn facts just keep getting in the way, huh?

Bwaaa. Ha! Ha! Ha! Haaaaaaaaa ....!!! Pass the magic mushrooms, Sunflower. I haven't heard crap this wacko since the Summer of Love. I'll bet those nuts lay around taking wine enemas by the light of the full moon. Whoa, if I laugh any harder, I'll require a shot off grandma's oxygen tank.

And I don't think Reagan ever attended a Church that featured "The White Liberation Theology."

Never saw him attend a church where the parishioners jumped up, hand-slapped, butt-bumped, shouted , and rejoiced over racial discordance.
A resume he did have, Obama has his.... er...ummm...ok.. a good smile...

Reagan has a resume with some substance. Obama was a community organizer. Reagan was Governor of the most populous state for 8 years. Reagan fought all of his life against what Obama represents.
