I'd take Reagan's partisans today more seriously if a person trying to point out that Obama took office in the middle of a massive crisis not of his making were not likely to be met by someone shrieking "BUT BUSH BUT BUSH BUT BUSH" while the man they laud as the best President in American history ran for reelection FOUR YEARS into his term on the message of "It's Morning in America" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU-IBF8nwSY) -- which basically meant "Damn, Carter fucked us bad but we've finally got things moving again".
The Reagan of history would have to be denounced by the very people mythologizing him today.
