That’s right. Reagan also made people feel optimistic. “Morning in America”. He united people.

Like it or not, Obam won because he has many of the same rhetorical and charismatic qualities as Reagan.

I agree. Even though Obama is the polar opposite of Reagan. Reagan made everyone feel good about being an American; Obama not so much. Reagan inspired optimism and real hope for the future, as well as the confidence to never doubt; Obama not so much. Reagan was proud to stand by American values when dealing in foreign affairs; Obama…not at all.
