Obama is a Reagan democrat

  Although tea partiers and Republicans love to invoke Reagan, he raised taxes 11 times, kept the budget at the same levels and higher (although he cut entitlements, he raised military the same amount) and the deficit went from 700B to 3 trillion.  Two years after he was elected, the democrats gained a bunch of seats in congress.  "Ronald Reagan was never afraid to raise taxes," historian Douglas Brinkley, who edited Reagan's diaries, told NPR. "He knew that it was necessary at times. And so there's a false mythology out there about Reagan as this conservative president who came in and just cut taxes and trimmed federal spending in a dramatic way. It didn't happen that way. It's false." He signed the largest corporate tax increase in history.  He never called out for all Republicans to vote "no" on virtually anything democratic like the current batch of Respudlicans.  The Reagan candidate next year is not among the Republicans but is Pres. Obama.  Keep the Reagan legacy alive and vote Democrat.  To take a rule from family law practice, if one parent will not work with the other parent, custody needs to go with the parent that will work for both parties.   Obama was tougher than Reagan by invading Pakistan (with a small force) to kill bin Laden while Reagan just shelled Lebanon after 270 Marines were killed in an embassy bombing.
