In his State of the Union speech, President Obama referred to Ronald Reagan as a model of what a president can accomplish, a sure sign, pundits said, that Obama has read the mid-term election results and is charting a course to the center. Not that Obama believes any of the things Reagan believed in, things like the goodness and generosity of the United States. No, any shift to the center by Obama will be political, not ideological. Obama is, and always will be, what he is; a muslim raised man born of a communist mother and father. Obama is no Ronald Reagan.

Upon his shoulders broad and strong

And strode to top of hill

And there she sits and will for long

Be shining city still
