Hey, Michael Douglas and Mike Fox did not say these lines. A character in a movie said these lines. Wow! Our debate about candidates for President now quotes characters in a film as if the script equals the statements of actual people running for an actual office in an actual world.

The lines quoted promote a fictional, imagined idealism. They say nothing about leadership, either in theory or in reality.

Get a grip.

I agree with Bernie…It seems he is dismissing all the things that were accomplished in the 60’s and he does dismiss those of us who lived through it. I agree he is attempting to divide old and young. This has been a two party system for a long time..and there are some benefits to that. He seems to lack knowledge of what brought Ronald Reagan to office. It was politics of fear…the public was convinced that Jimmy Carter was weak…due to the hostage taking in Iran. Ronald Reagan always focused on the danger of other countries. Little did we know…he was making an arms deal behind the scene at the time. I too remember him dismantling the health and welfare departments…with talk of welfare queens…and no support to the mental institutions..that led to many homeless being unprotected and without care. Personally…I think Obama is an airhead. The message is…I will inspire you…and you will do the work. I may be an old lady…but I have never seen a law passed that way.

I find it deeply disturbing as well as insulting that Obama talks so dismissively about the battles of the sixties. He would never be where he is now if people had not been willing to fight for civil rights, women’s rights and against a disastrous war. Were there excesses? Of course. That kind of change could never have come about without wrenching, divisive struggles. Apparently Mr. Obama prefers his change to come with smiles like Ronald Reagan who did what he could to undo the progress of the sixties. As for his implication that if you opposed Vietnam or are against the military, that is patently ridiculous. What Democratic leader opposes all wars? I am sure a lot of his supporters do, though.
Why is no one talking about just how divisive Mr. Obama is? He has been trashing older Democrats who fought so hard for his rights. He even called Ted Kennedy “too old”. He is trying to pit older and younger Democrats against each other, all the while playing the uniter. Since the media buys his storyline, he is getting a pass, much the way our current “Uniter not a Divider” got in 2000.

Go to the Huffington Post they are drinking the Obama Kool Aid. (Arianna also fell for Nader. So much for her judgement.)

i find it most difficult to understand how any democrat would speak with any admiration of ronnie raygun. raygun was a scab loving pile of crap who also did his very best to destroy all the progress this country made during the new deal days. raygun and his type hated and still hate perhaps the greatest democratic president of all times … FDR. if obama wanted to speak about the “vision” thing … FDR was and is the best choice.
