No one here says that for once he is not working for something right.
But one has to wonder: is the Nobel Prize for Peace Laureate going to invade Grenada any time soon?
he certainly seems fluent in Reaganese
Obama mentioned Ronald Reagan four times in his weekly address, noting that when the Republican president signed a nuclear arms treaty with the Soviet Union in 1987 he said, “trust but verify.”
“So those who would block this treaty are breaking President Reagan’s rule – they want to trust, but not verify,” he said.
and that would be blasphemy.
The headline – Reagan’s Son? This was the headline of a NYT profile of….W. The Jr Also Rises….
Notice how he doesn’t even try to pretend he is a D anymore?

It was the Iron Lady (Margaret Thatcher) that invaded the Falklands/Malavinas.
Ronnie Raygun invaded Grenada.

They invaded Grenada, an island the size of Manhattan, in the middle of the night. Kirkpatrick announced it at the UN the next morning. When the US invaded, they didn’t even know what language was spoken there (English) but somehow Grenada, under Maurice Duvalier was seen as a major threat. The US was threatened by Grenada’s major export … Wait for it ….
Nutmeg. Duvalier was elevating the economic status if his people.
