Of course, I realize that but the fact is Reagan sounds closer to Obama than any GOPer with any political power and I think that’s really telling considering A) Ronnie was saying this over 30 years ago and B) that Reagan wasn’t exactly a bleeding heart.

I started watching a movie on TCM last night and it wasn’t mentioned in the description that he was in it.

It was made in 1945 when he was fairly young and good-looking in a bland sort of way, and probably pretty liberal at the time. Don’t forget that he was President of the Screen Actors Guild (elected in 1947). He was a supporter of FDR, a union activist, and a liberal for 30 years of his life—before 20 Mule Team Borax and GE came into the picture.
