Video and more breakdown at the link.

Funny seeing MSNBC liberal hacks trying to use Reagan as if he and Obama believed in the same things. They hate Reagan, always have. Now they take him out of context the basically prop him up and attack the GOP. MSNBC fails yet again.
Is anyone surprised? MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC are nothing more than the official propaganda wing of the Democrat Party. Everyone has known this since at least 1992 when they admitted as much. Those who are not aware of this well established fact are complete idiots that cannot cope with reality.

This is from the Washington Post:
Quote:
In 1987, Ronald Reagan’s secretary of the Treasury, James Baker, warned of “unprecedented and catastrophic repercussions” if Congress failed to lift the debt ceiling. His boss agreed. “This country cannot be allowed to default on its financial obligations for the first time in history,” Reagan warned. “This would be unthinkable.”
Reagan said, “This country cannot be allowed to default on its financial obligations for the first time in history...This would be unthinkable.”

How is quoting someone's words verbatim, misleading?
