(777 posts)In Obama, we had the best Presidency since the '50s. The most unifying and constructive leader in living memory. One the country would take back in an instant if not for rules in a Constitution the Republicans have simply abandoned, and we won't do that. And just as a bonus, a worker President after that who did the nitty-gritty legislating job and got a huge lot done.
Push Republicans with the question, they can't answer you what Presidents they admire if they're not just parroting current party line. They can't defend Reagan anymore, and don't remember anything about either Bush but maybe tax cuts ("Ah, so you were bribed. Good to know where your values are."
Like the proverbial Ministry of Truth, their past is in constant flux.
