The Flipper and the Gipper
At this weekend’s meeting of the Conservative Agenda, Political Insiders were already asking Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane about The Blower’s plans for next Sunday’s E-dition.
“That’s Super Bowl XLVII between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Baltimore Ravens and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion San Francisco 49ers,” exclaimed Whistleblower Senior Spoiled Sports Editor Andy Furball, “there’s nothing in the world more important than that.
“Not so,” countered Hurley the Historian, “next Sunday on February 3 it’ll be only be three days until Ronald Reagan’s Birthday. Think about how all those other so-called Conservative publications and web pages will be exploiting The Gipper next week to increase their circulations and sell their crappy products.”
“How about combining the two,” Kane suggested, since just before the Super Bowl kickoff, a tribute to Reagan will be displayed on the giant scoreboard in New Orleans. There ought to be a big enough audience for that.
But other folks exploiting Ronald Reagan next week will be those Obama Supporters in the Press trying to compare Obama with The Gipper? Can anything be more ridiculous than that cover of Time Magazine, attempting to portray Obama as the successor to the greatest Republican president of the 20th century?
Doesn’t anybody recall where Obama’s ghostwritten autobiography said how much he hated Reagan and his followers? Obama said one of the reasons he wanted power was to do away with what Reagan had accomplished. Commenting about Time’s cover, last year Mark Finkelstein of Newsbusters wrote:
“What a difference a shellacking makes.” Obama continues to look more like Jimmy Carter every day.
And how outraged was Rush Limbaugh at all of this? Check out this notable quote: “If Reagan were alive today watching all this, for crying out loud, folks, he’d wished he’d had Alzheimer’s so he wouldn’t be aware of what’s going on and see what’s been done to his legacy and the great work that he did as president.”
And a Washington Times editorial said: one of the least credible tales to come out of President Obama’s fantasy ideological makeover was the story that he was modeling his presidency on Ronald Reagan’s. Just to keep this preposterous public relations ploy in perspective, we have compiled a handy list to remind people how little these two men have in common:
Reagan: Fostered national pride in the military.
Obama: Fostered gay pride in the military.
Reagan: We begin bombing in five minutes.
Obama: We begin golfing in five minutes.
Reagan: Made big government a bad word.
Obama: Made big government a bad dream.
Reagan: A shining city on a hill.
Obama: A home mortgage under water.
Reagan: Just say no.
Obama: Yes we can!
Reagan: Stood up to the Soviets.
Obama: Bowed to the Saudis.
Reagan: “Tear down this wall.”
Obama: Tearing down this country.
Reagan: “Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.”
Obama: Concentrated power has always been the objective.
Reagan: Put labor unions in their place.
Obama: Put labor unions in charge.
Reagan: National health care is socialism.
Obama: National health care is socialism.
Reagan: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”
Obama: We are that generation.
Reagan: Morning in America.
Obama: Mourning for America.

So maybe that’s why our Beloved Whistleblower Publisher said, “If there’s anyone Obama should bow to, it should be Reagan.”
