A Video From the Reagan Centennial And Remembering John Roth's Faux Pas

 At the Centennial with Attorney General Ed Meese III

Earlier today I went to the celebrate the Reagan centennial at the Reagan presidential library. Of all the performances, Gary Sinise's was the best.



Curiously, his view about Reagan could not be anymore different from Claremont Professor John Roth's. Upon Reagan's Roth famously wrote in The Los Angeles Times that,
"I could not help remembering how forty years ago economic turmoil had conspired with Nazi nationalism and militarism -- all intensified by Germany's defeat in World War I -- to send the world into reeling catastrophe. . . . It is not entirely mistaken to contemplate our post-election state with fear and trembling." 
Where Roth saw Hitler, Sinise saw hope. If Roth was right, why Obama is bending over backwards to say he's the next Reagan? Does that mean the one is "channeling" a Hitler-wannabe?
