Media Matters: Sean Hannity deceptively cropped President Obama’s answer to a question about the Cold War to suggest that Obama did not acknowledge the actions of past U.S. presidents in freeing Eastern Europe. [ READ MORE ] [ READ MORE (2) ]
First, I find it despicable for a high-school graduate (Hannity) to be telling a Harvard educated constitutional lawyer — to “HIT THE BOOKS!” [ Hannity graduated in 1980 from St. Pius X Preparatory Seminary high school, located in Uniondale, New York. Hannity dropped out of New York University and Adelphi University. Source: WikiPedia ]
He (Hannity) wanted so desperately for President Obama to mention Ronald Reagan — A SERIAL LIAR who was at the right place at the right time: The Soviet Union was going down with or without Reagan. He (Reagan) did not cause the breakup of the Soviet Union — although we must acknowledge that he played a leading role as the leader of the Soviet Union’s chief adversary — The United States.
And we shouldn’t forget that this man Ronald Reagan, was “sinking into senility” years before he left office.
The Ronald Reagan MYTH is the greatest PR SWINDLE of the our age. Republicans have sold Reagan over the years as the iconic American leader — the LITMUS TEST for measuring other modern presidents. I dis-agree.
Some say he was just as incompetent as George W. Bush, and was only lucky that nothing as catastrophic as 9/11 happened during his tenure — to expose his insanity and criminality.
Reagan was every bit as criminal as is George W. Bush.
Hundreds of thousands of central Americans perished due to Ronald Reagan’s criminal policies. In fact, it is Ronald Reagan who empowered Osama Bin Laden, funding his terrorist army to displace the Russians from Afghanistan.
As is usual with imperialist America, once the mighty “Muhjadeen” had completed their task of throwing out the Soviets, Reagan and his crooks quickly abandoned them and they became the present Taliban and Al Qaeda — primed and very ready to kill Americans.
Reagan was a “showman,” and a very good one, but also a cold-hearted racist — who supported the vicious Apartheid regime in South Africa — an “Immoral, evil, and totally un-Christian” act, per South African Anglican Archbishop, Desmond Tutu.
“The Ronald Reagan who won the cold war, cut taxes, shrank the government, saved the economy, and was the most beloved president since FDR is a myth,” author Will Bunch says….”The truculent jingoist of the myth was concocted after Alzheimer’s silenced the man and the would-be juggernaut launched by the GOP’s 1994 election triumph crashed and burned before a Democratic president (Bill Clinton) who shrank government and the deficit, balanced the budget, and even racked up surpluses,” he adds.
In his book – Tear Down This MYTH, Bunch names the leading, venal mythmakers and shames the myth exploiters, too. Anyone interested in the TRUTH about “Mythical Reagan,” should read this book.
While Reagan may have not been entirely aware of what he was doing (he was sinking into SENILITY during his second term) and how his decisions would impact the world, he was also much more sinister than the media has portrayed him.
Remembering The 1980s: The Press Slept While A SENILE Ronald Reagan Rambled — Some Americans may not remember the era when Teflon news coverage was afforded to a president who fell asleep at White House meetings and didn’t recognize members of his Cabinet. Untethered by cue cards or teleprompter, he could ramble off into dark fogs of gibberish. In October 1987, in his first press conference in seven months, here’s how President Reagan answered a question about whether taxes should be increased:“The problem is the deficit is — or should I say — wait a minute, the spending, I should say, of gross national product, forgive me — the spending is roughly 23 to 24 per cent. So that it is in — it what is increasing while the revenues are staying proportionately the same and what would be the proper amount they should, that we should be taking from the private sector.” With Reagan, relevant questions about his mental competence weren’t even raised– and a President being asleep at the wheel should be as newsworthy as a President sleeping around (Clinton).

After just four months, media figures ignore economists to declare stimulus a failure
Right-Wing media THUGS have used a recent comment by Vice President Biden — that the Obama administration “misread how bad the economy was” — to suggest that the economic recovery package is a complete failure, rather than noting the assessment by economists then and now that the legislation does not go far enough and that further stimulus spending may be necessary.
