Instead we get a blurb which begs the question, has there ever been a before-the-fact apology?
Obama was right about that. If you listen to the WHOLE QUOTE, boys and girls, you hear that he says that Reagan changed the trajectory of the country, in a way that Nixon and Clinton did not,because the country was ready for it.
That's totally true. Have you ever heard the term "Nixon Democrat"? No. Have you ever heard the term "Clinton Republican"? No. Have you ever heard "Reagan Democrat"? Yes. Why, yes you have, if you have any education at all about that period of time.
Because Reagan, for one reason or another (and mind you, he was a horrible president in many ways), managed to trancend party lines unlike the presidents before or after.
