“I see that we can always count on price for reckless, tasteless stupidity.”

Reagan was as bad as Jr. i see no problem in making fun of a dead person who was a horrible leader…. kind of like Warren G Harding. (i wont compare Reagan to Hitler because it makes him seem more important than he will ever be) It also isn’t reckless, it is childish.. but than again that is what the old fool deserves…. to be remembered as nothing more than an intolerant, racist, arrogant symbol of why people around the world hate America and see us a bunch of hateful rednecks.

Mr. Reagan did a lot more than make a speech. He, Mrs. Thatcher, and His Holiness John Paul 2 executed a masterful strategy in aiding the fine people who lived in those countries, and driving the Soviet empire out of business.

What is offensive is the educational establishment’s short shrift of history that gives us some people have a great education and no understanding of history.

I agree with Obama. I think it’s pretty offensive and dismissive to say that Reagan caused the end of the Cold War by giving a speech. It dismisses the years and years of efforts by people who actually lived in those countries, giving up their time, sometimes their freedom and even their lives to change things.

“…dumb nationalistic points…”

The United States was the immovable object which resisted and ultimately broke the irresistible force communism was alleged to be. This is not nationalistic pride, but fact.

On a historical note, we were not living behind the Berlin Wall. The folks who did and who worked at resisting what that stood for should not be taken for granted. Or made to look like the pikers in the game, which is what the FOX Noise questioner wanted in pursuit of his stupidly nationalistic point. Hannity’s elision — in spite of Delusional David showing up here to actually defend editing the President’s words to make dumb nationalistic points — just goes to plain dishonesty. Why elide the points the President made then claim he didn’t make them? This is why conservatives are so fond of FOX Noise — it blatantly treats them like the idiots they so very often are.

on a historical note, I am pretty sure we all had planty of skin in the game… the Cold War wasn’t a debate, fortunately MAD kept it from going hot.

I see that we can always count on price for reckless, tasteless stupidity.

In fairness to Shawn Hannity, I happen to see that segment. He was not commenting on what the President said in the interview, but what he said in the speech while noting his response to the interview. It was the speech not the interview that Hannity had the problem with.

Marxism always fails, but America’s economic and military power accelerated the process. Having a nuclear deterrent didn’t hurt, either.

Garrett did the same dumb thing a few weeks ago in a press briefing. As I was listening, I was dumbfounded to hear him ask why the president had waited so long to comment on the Iran election results. JFC, can his questions be any more blatantly wing-nut talking-point based?

In Hannity’s world:

Next time Obama goes to Japan, he should remind them how we dropped the bomb on them.

And the next time Obama goes to Germany, he should remind them that we kicked their ass in the big one.

And the when Obama goes to Vietnam, he should say…uh……..

FOX Noise just reminds us that conservatives don’t have many settings, but Belligerent is certainly one of them. And I’m delighted that President Obama had the grace to remind folks that there were lots of folks pushing back against the Soviets who had lots more immediately at stake and way more skin in the game.

Slightly Off Topic: I was in the Manchester NH airport a couple of weeks back coming back to Philly, waiting for a delayed plane while FOX Noise was on the TV. Hannity was on and he went into this segment trying to dis the health care reform plans. I forget what the schitck was, but he was getting his dudgeon up, lying, fearmongering, the whole deal. Everyone in the waiting area started laughing at him — and then started commenting on the lies and spin of Hannity sort of MST3K style. Which kept the laughter going. It was a thing to behold — a room full of people who saw right through the BS.

Have a great time with your family, UI!

and Garrett askes a stupid question to begin with. There is no value in the POTUS going to Russia and reminding them who won the cold war. He was there to build the diplomatic relationship. At least he didn’t bow to anyone.
