I forgot I hadn't read it.


Why bother?

Every chance he got he'd compare something happening currently with something that happened in JFK's administration, or some person, and go on about that incident or person and how it compared to JFK "as I write about in my new book." He might be even worse now, which is why I stopped watching Hairball altogether, but I had the misfortune of finding him on one of the other MSNBC shows, blathering about his book, and I couldn't get to the remote fast enough.

I don't think Tweety's problem is that he intends to compares Obama unfavorably to Reagan as much as it in that by talking about Reagan and Tip O'Neill he gets to talk about what was going on when he was in politics. And sell more books.

TEA TURDS have never been on a national stage these people don't register on a typical scale of how it was done before
no one has ever done this before

Unless you go all the way back to President Adams I believe who let his hillbilly Family run wild in the white house

I think it was Adams 9th grade History was many moon cycles ago for me

being squeezed out.

The Reagan and tipper or tip oneil whatever love.

He keeps popping up in other places. Shemeless self-promoter.

Everytime I see or hear reagan I want to puke.

There are at least three who admit he's a Christian, two who admit he's a citizen, and three who admit he's both. Otherwise, yes, pretty much.

I'm already sick of Tweety's damn book! He hawks the damn thing
every chance he gets, and pushes it into every discussion.

You are right; the times have changed since the 80's. Reagan was
not a black man, and the Dems (the "sane" party) were the opposition
party.

Media Whore!

It gets old hearing Chris peddle anything, but what he is peddling now is a vision of the opposite of Washington dysfunction at a time when most people blame Republicans for the current Washington dysfunction. I think it mostly underscores the public impression that today's Republicans are screwing up bacly, that even Reagan knew how to cooperate, rather than pinning blame on Obama for not being able to cooperate.

"Hey look at me everybody - I used to be somebody!"

Follow what works.

same things over and over, even though they're WRONG. Obama has invited the Rs over many times and they rejected him every time.

same thing.

Inviting his wife to critic him.

Frankly, I am getting tired of watching his program. The problem is, he does have interesting guests, if he only let them speak!

Main difference - 24 hrs news cycle, internet, social media, house districts.

It used to be that politicians could get together in a closed room, even smoking, and hash details and reached an agreement.

Today, they can't wait to "kiss and tell."

Several years ago some of those Jesus group had phone conference. I have no affinity to them but, it was found out, someone had his phone open and that conference was broadcasted to many more people that originally intended.

And we've had it during the elections, by both sides.

And, once a whiff of an "appeasement" goes out, that member of Congress will be met with a barrage of emails, call, and, of course, a teabagger ready to run against him.

I know that many of the bizarre-shaped districts were formed to assure minority representation but...

I wish we had a Federal decree that, except for a river, a lake, a mountain range or an ocean, all districts must have straight lines boundaries.

Poor Arnold tried to put something like that on the ballot and it failed.

Starting to sound like an NPR Fund Drive.

even the monkey slurs!

doesn't make any sense to people whom have actually been paying attention to what he has done. Given what we've heard about from the time that he was elected- when a whole lot of them got together on Inauguration Day 2009 and shaped their plan to obstruct President Obama, along with McConnell's clearly stated objective to make him a "One-Term President", I'm not sure that there is really much, if anything, to do to get them to work with them other than what he tried to do. There are lots of people whom claim that there was possibly more that President Obama could have done to get the Republicans to cooperate but can't name a single thing that he actually could have done different. Like Ron White once said, "You can't fix stupid!" It's great that things were better back when Reagan was President ( ) but that was then and this is now.
