Obama Wants to be Reagan?

Don't get me wrong, I like Obama and all, but this kind of pisses me off. I understand the need to reach out, but does this guy really not understand that invoking Reagan enrages a large segment of the democratic party? Though, someone at Daily Kos says the entire thing is taken out of context. See the analysis here.

Though, in fairness the Clintons liked him too.

Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, issued a statement that praised the former president for his optimistic outlook.

"Hillary and I will always remember President Ronald Reagan for the way he personified the indomitable optimism of the American people, and for keeping America at the forefront of the fight for freedom for people everywhere," their statement said.
