Reagan Billboard Jabs Obama: ‘Remember Real Hope and Change?’

amy..not even nearly enough. had the press done their job before the election we wouldnt in nearly this big of mess.

I would like to put such billboars all over California.
However the government taxes me so much that it does not leave me any money for such noble causes.

tom..fair enough

It’s about time. The news organizations have given the BHO and Chicago goons a free ride with no accountability.

The Bo Bo Clown we have in Washington,maybe should study President Reagan more foe CHANGE.This Bo Bo does not know the time of day.I pray he screws up so bad we impeach the circus clown.

Typical mean spirtited Republicans commenting here.
I don’t remember the Reagan years as all that great. High interest rates hugh deficits. Yea, it was great with interest rates to buy house at 16%. My hometown in PA had a 27% unemployment rate. Not to forget all the tax increases they referred to as “revenue enhancements” because the Republicans thought we were so stupid that we wouldn’t know they were a tax increase.

Sounds like racist remarks even though your comments don’t reflect color. Real results would come with cooperation. How can we accomplish anything with so many opposing each other. We are at a stale mate. Health care is the “New Civil War!” it divides states, people, Haves & Have nots! So very Sad! So very Sad!
A leader needs people to work with him, hard to inspire those who are intently set on him failing.
As a leader he also can’t scold those that oppose him either.
Leadership also has to have the conversation and be willing to work toward a common goal. I know so many that would love to have insurance and can’t have it. They have children and are always worried if something happens.
Come on ya’ll! Stop the fighting, lets not repeat what’s going on in Washington, it only divides the communities even more.
Seem like the only time we unite is in the time of unavoidable war as in 9/11 & natural disasters.
I know its wishfull thinking to hope that everyone start working together. But its a shame that none of them can get anything done. This is rediculous. We pay all those tax dollars and the lobbyists get more done than the politicians do by staging road blocks and diversions to keep everyone way off focus. Does anyone see this? The art of War! Great tactics with purposeful results. There is a bigger plan here and no one is awake to see it. Too busy talking about Obama, Bush and the Tea Party lady! Wake up America, pleaseeeeeeeeee!

Reagan raised taxes took the national debt was 900 billion but was 3 tillion when he left office. As for Califguy obviously you are paying the state taxes you are paying with your Republican governor because you like everyone else got a tax cut. I don’t think you are one of 5% whose taxes were raised.

Libertin Texas……..I like they way you all think in Texas, out of all of the states I know you all will do just fine. No one is taking you down. I’m looking to relocate….seriously….kinda like that Gov Perry too…….might be time to move to “tough country”…..Oh–and you know I work, have always…..not someone looking for a handout!

LibertinTexas…are you serious? Obama IS someone great…it took a moron Bush and a nation which was sleeping that voted for him TWICE…to get to an Obama. He is actually reaching out to the other party…every speech he asks them to come to him with a solution instead of just dragging out this health care reform

Thank you, ACliff. Reagan had a ventriloquist or have you forgotteen!
The posting by DEMS is so perfect!!!

All of you unemployed can thank Reagan for taxing those bennies.

Reagan, the man who made deals with the Iranians to get elected and arms for the Contras. Conservatives do not have a principled bone in their body politics.

And do not even mention Bevis and Butthead, look at the mess Republicans left us in.

Reagan was the best president in our lifetimes. I never thought I’d see worse than Carter, until Obama.

How pathetic. Honoring the very person that started all the “defunding of government” by stripping away sound rules and regulations that protected the middle class. Come on people, do a little research and you will figure out why we have had so many “wild market swings and bubbles” over the past twenty five years. It is no coincidence that since the days of Mr. Reagan why the poor have gotten poorer, the middle class has deteriorated and the uninsured numbers have grown. Too much “tax cuts for the rich:”, deregulation and a return to a “wold west free enterprise environmernt”. Just to protect the rich who want to remain in power. Minnesotans might be stupid but you don’t have to be.

I REMEMBER the “real change”….like exporting American jobs, deregulation, tax cuts for the wealthy…and I remember the beginning of the demantling of the Middle Class in America.

Chris,
It is a government takeover of one-sixth of our economy, socialization of our healthcare system, and a further attempt by Obama and company to take America socialist. The only points being put forth by the lying, liberal media are the positives, nothing about the cuts in service, the new taxes, and so on, and so on. You need to wake up and read, watch, and listen; this is happening right now! For a great example of what Mr. Obama is trying to do look no further than Senor Chavez in Venezuela. And read up on how well that program is working out for them.

Would someone please explain to me why our president has the reputation of being brilliant? The leader of the U.S. should know that there are 50 states he is leading–not 57 or more. The executive in charge of proposing a national budget should know that, if an employer got a 3000% reduction in the cost of health insurance he buys for his employees, the insurance company would be paying the employer to buy its insurance! Absolutely brilliant!

Reagan? You mean the president that cut taxes for the rich and raised them for the middle class? You mean the president that “tripled” the national debt? I repeat, TRIPLED! You mean the president who egnore the AIDS epidemic because he was sure it was a gay desease? And we all know what conservative republicans think of gay people. You mean the president that finally acknowledged the AIDS epidemic after white christians started getting it. So they propped up Nancy amongst a group of black children in Africa with aids. See I can be with aids people and she patted them on the head? Reagan? Get a life. He’s dead, thank God!

Oh and how could I forget that Reagan sold arms to Iran. And then he couldn’t remember doing so. Oh yes, he was an awfully good president. Have they finally buried him?

Here is the real guaranteed change. No primary care physicians. New England Journal of Medicine now says half of the pitiful few primary care physicians we have now will quit and go into specialized medicine if Obamacare passes. Great. All of you hopeful folks who will end up on Medicaid, get real familiar with your local emergency room. Rationing cometh. How can it not? By the way, this bill eventually kills the doctor reimbursement plan. Promises, promises, that in no way can be kept. The numbers simply do not add up.

LMAO!… yeah, I remember the Reagan years of “fools and ‘change’”.
As with the usual right-whiner (Republican) mantra, Reagan promised “smaller government” and “fiscal conservatism” (i.e., less government spending).
When in reality, all Reagan did was increase government contracting… spend, spend, and spend while simultaneously cutting taxes for the corporations and highest income brackets… thus deferring all of that government spending for future generations.
Just look at how much the nation’s national debt climbed under Ronald Reagan. He, just like George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush were the greatest contributors to our national debt of all Presidents in the past 50 years.
“fiscal conservatives”…LOL… only fools that don’t understand what those republicans really do follow their creed.
Go look at the Treasury Direct webpage, and look up the history of the national debt under each president… your eyes will be opened.

No libertinTexas- It took Bush to get Obama. I see the Bush sign did not work for you.

Unfortunately for you liberals history is already written on Reagan stop playing revisionist historians. Fact Reagan presided of the biggest boom in Americas economic history Microsoft, Apple, Macintosh etc. Fact Reagan gave the biggest tax cut in american history thats a fact. Reagan was so good on MOST policy Bill Clintons advisories told him to emulate Reagans policies. Yes the iranian contra was a Reagan mistake and he had a deficeit but no where near obamas. You liberals complain about that dumbie Bushs deficeit Obama spent more in one year then all of bushs two terms combined. Conservatives and Moderates on now all on the same page its time you progessive are now going to become a dying breed. I don’t know why you progressives hate republicans a republican started American progressivism.

Rip Ronald Reagan and John F Kennedy two greatest presidents in the last 100 years. Never have a president like either of them again crying shame.

Reagan was Real Hope And Change? Are you kidding me? I remember 18% inflation and I couldn’t buy a home because no one could afford the mortgage. I remember “Mr. Ketchup as a second vegetable” where Reagan tried to cut the Children’s Food Program for poor kids by having ketchup listed as the second required vegetable for school lunches. I remember Reagan cutting the school innoculation program putting millions of kids at risk. Remember “trickle down economics”, the Savings and Loan Scandal, and most of all I remember Reagan selling weapons to our enemy Iran to fund an illegal war in Central America. That change? No Thanks!!!!

Kathryn Brown .. your 12:49 post. I am not sure if it is sincere or legitimate but I feel a need to tell you this. God has absolutely nothing to do with whatever you are upset about. This is about who “have”, willing to be “misled” by people who simply do not care about “those that do not have”. Now as people who inhabit this earth, it is up to us to do something about it. Please quit bringing “God” into a fight that he has nothing to do with.

Lets not forget that Osama bin Lauden was arwmed and trained by the CIA under Pres Reagan as well.
Lets also take a peek at the “star wars initive” that started testing and design under his watch, we’re still paying for it and it still doesn’t work.
Good Job Fiscal conservatives… excellent.

Liberals still won’t tell us what’s in the Bill, nor will they tell us what it will cost us! Pelosi can’t get all Democrats to come on board, so she is considering DEEM AND PASS (Slaughter Rule)! They’ll get the Senate Bill passed in the House “without votes”! “Deem and Pass” has been used often and by both parties — THOUGH NOT FOR SOMETHING QUITE AS LARGE AS THIS! In this Congress, corrupt Democrats used “Deem and Pass” for raising the debt ceiling, which was tucked into the “PayGo” Bill. God only knows what this Bill will cost us! OBAMA STILL HAS LOTS OF “BRIBE” MONEY AND IS STILL BUYING VOTES — AT TAXPAYERS’ EXPENSE!

Boy…I sure agree with “ACliff’s” remarks. Besides that, I was right here when Ronald Reagan was president. My memories of his presidency aren’t NEARLY as fond as the memories of those who hold him up as an icon.

The Age of Reagan is still with us
the problems we have today are the result of over 30 years of conservatism. And this began in earnest with Ronnie- and we need more of the same?
Some people will not look at the perspectives of History over the last 3 decades-

The cost is a lie, Medicare “doc fix” has been left out purposely to fool the public. It would add some $250 billion, check the facts at the CATO website.
“This has been tough from day one. It’s been tough for 40 years,” Biden said. And Joe is right, Americans are resilient and they continue to resist SOCIALISM.
The WH and the congress lie to the public about Obamacare. It will ration as it has provision to penalize doctors that run up costs, just don’t call it rationing. And look at the abortion doublespeak, ten pages to pretend abortion isn’t covered where just one clear sentence would have prevented abortion. And how about “doc fix” it is $250 billion left out to keep the CBO score down.
I’m afraid we are dealing with pathological liars and ideologues. The question is will their chicanery, dishonesty, bribes and threats pay off for them or will the American people prevail through representation.
Will it be TRANSPARENCY or will it be DESPOTISM?
