    Ronnie – Here is a line from my best selling book:
    I have brought “Change” to the White House, where you (Reagan) and your minions were carrying out your dirty deeds.

    Reagan (thinking): “Help! Someone please send my bust back to the British, c/o Margaret Thatcher. Stat!” — Obama: “There, there. It’s okay. If you were a community organizer, you would have been on Mt. Rushmore like me.”

    Reagan’s response, “Don’t know you son, go your own way.”

    • penguin2

      Or, when Obama pleads, “Please, please help me pull this off?”

      Reagan might have used W.C. Fields famous line, “Go away kid, you bother me.”

      • The_Gadfly

        But it will need at least a full torso statue. Same question, next panel, the statue is holding a button labeled “Voodo Economics” in the palm of its outstretched hand.

        I’ve always loved the cartoon of Bush Sr. sitting at his desk under the picture of Reagan, a declining economic chart in his hand, and the button with the same label under glass, and the standard “In case of an emergency break glass” label on the outside.

    Obama is definitely in whiny farmboy mode. (and yes, I know I’m not misquoting Luke… makes it funnier)

    Reagan, though. Reagan has become more powerful than Obama can comprehend, as an exemplar of conservative governance…

    I’ll never sleep with my Hugo doll again. You and me. It’s you and me. So please, please please tell me. You said it to GW, why can’t you say it to me. I need to hear it from you. Just once.

    ::crickets::

    OK. So you can’t say “4 more years.” Alright, I can live with that. It’s only that I was sorta hoping you wouldn’t hold that stuff against me.
