Barry Wants To Be Ronald Reagan… But Who Doesn’t?

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Oh Christ, he’s comparing himself to Ronald Reagan. In this interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal, Barry notes how “We want clarity, we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship that had been missing,” in this election. And if there’s one thing for which Democrats remember Ronald Reagan, it’s his… optimism. Can a progressive movement start by looking to a maniacal actor from the ’80s as the rubric? Meh, he’s pretty enough. [YouTube]
