Hey Baron,
This ref is really good!!!
Let’s move forward now to Ronald Reagan.
We won’t dwell on Reagan’s cut n’ run from Lebanon; instead
let’s talk about Iran. Iran had illegally siezed the American Embassy, kidnapped it’s American employees, and engaged in a very public campaign to humiliate America, terrorizing American hostages before mobs of screaming Iranian militants. Five short years later, it’s 1985 and Iranian terrorists have kidnapped seven American Hostages in Lebanon. Iran is at war with Iraq and needs arms. Iran made a secret request to buy weapons from the United States. Reagan had campaigned on not negotiating with terrorists. What did Reagan do? Reagan sold over 1500 advanced missiles to Iran and negotiated with the Iranian terrorists for the release of the hostages!
Can you imagine what the GOP would say if Obama sold arms to Iran??

Remember my point was that Reagan and Obama have been compared, by more than a few folks-- not necessarilly on positive terms, but nonetheless, compared.
