Obama is undoing everything Ronald Reagan did in his eight years. But this is just too perfect. And by perfect I mean the most horribly apt metaphor that spells doom for our nation.
Weasel Zippers reports:
The Chicago home where the late President Ronald Reagan grew up is slated to be demolished and potentially turned into a parking lot for President Obama’s Library, it was revealed today.
The home, at 832 E. 57th Street, was where Reagan survived a near-fatal bout of pneumonia in 1915 and he has written fondly of playing in the Hyde Park neighborhood with his brother and others.
But the University of Chicago has recently purchased the apartment building and they have announced plans to raze it and make it a parking lot.
Some have said that the liberal Chicago establishment does not want a reminder that Reagan, a conservative icon, once lived in the city.
Its current mayor, Rahm Emmanuel, was the White House Chief of Staff during Obama’s first term.
Hyde Park Historical Society board member Jack Spicer said, ‘Whatever you think of Reagan — once the building’s gone, it’s gone forever.’
The elite university has begun aggressively lobbying to become the site for President Obama’s future Presidential Library, leaving some to wonder if the parking spaces are being built to accommodate future visitors, the Washington Times reported.
It’s just so spiteful and small. It doesn’t surprise me at all.

Liberalism, and especially Chicago machine-style liberalism works best if as much memory and imagination as possible can be scrubbed from the mind of populace.
The MSM is great for this, but sometimes the opportunity to efface the opposition comes along and you know they are going to seize it.
