To me both Regan and Bush are insignificant in this. Both sides are going to use those names and in the end it will be a political wash. I am only talking about invoking those names when calling it a political wash. If what Obama plans to do is done in accordance with the constitution and its limits of the executive branch, I'm good. It needs to be done. I will come back to look as knowing the proper history is important when talking to friends about the issue.
