Obama Refers To Himself As "The Gipper"

Well, govern like Reagan, why not identify as Reagan too:

Channeling Reagan?

At outgoing White House press secretary Robert Gibbs' farewell press conference, President Obama referred to himself as "The Gipper," NPR reports.

President Obama, describing how he ended up wearing Gibbs' tie at the 2004 Democratic Convention, said that Gibbs "was willing to take one for the Gipper, and so he took off his tie, and I put it on. And that's the tie that I wore at the national convention."

Unfortunately given the paucity of credible Repubs to oppose him and given his rising poll ratings, the only chance to knock off Barack "The Gipper" Obama is to get the left to rise up in outrage and not support him and/or support a third party challenge.

I doubt that is going to happen.

So we're going to get six more years of Republican policies in the form of Change We Can Believe In.

Which looks pretty much like the Dubya policies that came before the Obama policies.

Maybe that's why Ron Paul people at CPAC were calling the last 13 years the "George W. Obama" years.

  1. Obama has done even more to set unions back than Reagan did.
