Obama is no Reagan. There is not one substantive comparison that can be made between the two.

David, thank godness Obama is not a Reagan. If he was we would be trouble.
I already read your other posts and I am in awe. Your views are extreme and seems off of what the majority of this industry is all about, freedom from bureaucracy and a change in right wing policy.
I watched the speech tonight and I was happy and pretty impressed.
He was to the point and he addressed the main criticisms from the Republican party with a fair ease. He also addressed the main concerns of the American people in terms of social politics and made enough good points to hold up his candidacy as a true Presidential candidate and Commander in Chief. The Democratic party showed that we are all one and not a divided people just because of race. I think we should be proud of that fact.
His qualifications to become a President for the PEOPLE was clearly exhibited in the history of his LIFE as an American and should not be questioned. If you or anyone here on the board have a better qualification then please stand up (stay away AlienQ), and I truly believe that very few others in the senate have had a better grasp on what is really going on in the "regular" life of the American people than that of Obama at this point in time.
To be honest David, I think you are afraid of what happened today in the speech and that you want to do as much as you can to discredit what will evidently become one of the best speeches made by a Presidential candidate ever. Good luck in November.
To add to all this, I have some experience myself from being a mix between an American and someone from the EU (passports in both regions, and also spend a lot of time in both places) - MOST people from the EU are afraid of Bush and the Republican party. It is a fact and it is sad. If Obama wins I believe it will show the rest of the world that we (the USA) is not a bunch of idiots but someone that truly believe that change can be made with the right choice in the upcoming election.
