I don't remember hearing repetitions of "Ronald Wilson Reagan"
and I don't think I've EVER heard "George Walker Bush".

I HAVE heard the singsong-y "Barrack HUSSEIN Obama" intoned as a claxon by Fixed News often enough to realize that Obama might be soft pedaling that middle moniker purely as a reflex at this point.

Another reflex I find interesting, the continual comparison of Barack to JFK. This is every bit as ridiculous as the reverent comparisons to Reagan of a certain candidate who shall remain nameless.

All this silly breastbeating...if JFK got us into a quagmire or two then so be it. If Reagan squirreled away at a nap while his Veep got us entangled in Iran Contra, so be it...that guy was pretty much running the country anyway at that point.

But Reagan should also be remembered as the man who ended the tyranny of the Cold War by helping to bring the old USSR to its knees, and Kennedy should also be remembered as the leader who got us into the space race, and if Obama can manage to pull off something equally good on either end of the spectrum he will have forever put to rest the inane questions as to his qualifications and the endless comparisons to dead men who were both good and bad, and remarkably human.
Perhaps we can try to view both Obama and McCain as humans first, and icons second.

Of course it might help if the MSM views US as humans too.
Fat chance of that happening...we're COMMODITIES, and expendable ones at that!
