Remember the astrologer in the White House?

Joan Quigley, the astrologer who helped determine President Ronald Reagan's schedule and claimed to have convinced him to soften his stance toward the Soviet Union, has died at the age of 87.

Nancy Reagan began consulting Quigley after the 1981 assassination attempt on her husband. She wanted to keep him from getting shot again, Nancy Reagan wrote in her 1989 memoir, "My Turn."

Yes, that was an embarrassment. I wonder if she saw her day coming? Actually, I know the answer.

Yes, everyone remembers that. (But I think you knew we did.)

Still does not void what Reagan accomplished.

Barely. It didn't make much of an impression.

Paying thousands of dollars to fly hair stylists around does, though.

Yeah, Reagan accomplishments included:

violating the Constitution with vacation appointments,

violated the War Powers Act with the invasion of Grenada,

violation of the law with the Iran-Contra scandal,

closing mental health hospitals and putting mentally ill people out who became street people,

cut taxes for the rich and hurt the poor and middle class,

tripling the national debt,

funding terrorists that came back to bit us,

gave amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens,

raiding the Social Security trust fund and more.

Not sure we can stand more that type of president.

Did CTB really just write this, with no regard for how anyone would throw it back that Obama is doing the same things?

That's exactly what I was thinking. As I was reading his post, I was like, "No way. This is awesome."

The difference:

Reagan knew how to lead and and build a consensus.

Obama leads from behind and keeps congress, the races and the economic classes divided.
