It's fair to ask whether the Reagan myth matters as much now that George W. Bush is back at the ranch and President Obama is in the White House. I would argue that it does.

The neocons are returning to their liberal origins. It's interesting that Kristol's most interesting op-ed came at the end and could have been titled, "In Defense of Liberalism."

At Friday's press conference Obama was trying to put out a fire that wasn't really there, and in the process, made a silly joke. Clearly, there's some sort of transition time needed between campaigning and having won.

What progressive wouldn't want a "progressive Reagan"? And what Democrat wouldn't want to win disaffected Republicans and more independents? That's all Obama was saying.
