John Thune at CPAC about Reagan and Obama

Blogging from CPAC in Washington DC.

Sen. John Thune of South Dakota spoke a couple of hours ago at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Lately liberal pundits have been--gasp--making favorable comparisons between Ronald Reagan and President Obama. Thune contrasted Reagan and Obama.

President Reagan showed us that there can be great hope in the midst of great despair. There can be great joy in sacrifice; that if we stick to our convictions, good things can come from hard times.

What a contrast to our current president. You know, for someone who claims to admire Reagan so much, President Obama understands very little about who he was. Ronald Reagan knew that what makes America exceptional isn't our government, but our people and ideals. And he knew that the truest measure of our success is how much our success is not how much our government can do for us, but how much people can achieve.
