TIME Traveling: Lib Mag Transforms Obama From Socialist FDR to Conservative Reagan

Granted the liberal media hated Ronald Reagan.
But suddenly this popular president is useful to their far left agenda.

Forget for a minute that Barack Obama is the anti-Reagan in every way…
The latest issue of TIME Magazine compares Obama to Ronald Reagan.

Now they want us to believe that this big government FDR socialist is more like conservative Reagan…

NewsBusters reported on this transformation.

What a difference a shellacking makes . . .

Just after Barack Obama won the White House in 2008, Time photoshopped him into an iconic FDR photo at the wheel of a convertible, jaunty cigarette-holder in mouth.

Obama was riding high as the champion of the left, the promise and personification of a born-again big-government New Deal. That was then, this is the 9+% unemployment, recent-shellacking now. So with which president does Time now find it in the president’s interest to be associated? Why, Ronald Reagan, of course.

The new Time cover, unveiled by Time editor Rick Stengel on Morning Joe today, features a Photoshop of a smiling Obama and Reagan, the Gipper’s arm approvingly clapped around PBO’s shoulder. The legend: “Why Obama Loves Reagan,” [a symbolic heart in place of "loves"].

Obummer doesn’t like Reagan at all. Reagan was for freedom, loved America, and tried to cut government spending. Odummer wants none of those things.

If you believe this BS: 1) roll up your copy of Time magazine, 2) smack yourself in the head with it.

Nothing exposes a fraud more than comparing it side by side against the real thing. Keep it up dying media.

Next the MSM will have O on a cruise ship with Sharah Palin in Alaska. No lie is too great no lie is too outrageous.

Does this mean that the left will claim that BO had alzheimers while he was in office, too?

Odd how Obamessiah looks slightly taller on the cover, and yet they are both listed as being six foot one. Must be the way Obamessiah has his nose in the air, as usual. That humming sound you hear is Reagan spinning furiously in his grave, propelled by this crap, and that of his incredibly disappointing son Ron……

The Bolshevik Boy Wonder is clearly no Reagan… and regarding issues of judgement, principle, character, political courage… and true leadership?

This Alinskyite punk Obama couldn’t hold The Gipper’s jockstrap.

Good call, Zipity; they did manip Obama to appear slightly taller than Reagan. And you can bet real money that was deliberate.

Three things that photoshopped image is good for:

1. Serving as a reminder of how utterly worthless Time Magazine is.

2. Proving that there’s no level to which the msm won’t stoop in order to elevate Obama.

3. Providing an appetite suppressant (I lost all desire to eat and some of my desire to live after a mere glance at it).

the lefts propaganda lies knows no bounds. to place Obama’s image next to the Gipper is sacrilegious! These leftist toilet papers they call magazines are shameless!

When Sarah announces her candidacy on February 6th (Reagan’s 100th birthday), they can run a cover of the Gipper standing with his true heir apparent – Sarah “Barah cuda”.

Ladue Pundit commented:

In Obama’s ghost written book, “Dreams From My Father,” Obama expresses his distaste for Ronald Reagan and the policies RR espoused. Like his Marxist Muslim polygamist daddy, OB despises RR.

The msm is squarely at fault here for fictionalizing Obama as anything but what he truly is: a wealth confiscating, power hungry socialist who lies every time he draws a breath.
