Manny: President Obama has called himself a 1980's Republican

Reality:

President Obama said his economic policies are "so mainstream" he'd be considered a moderate Republican in the 1980s.

In a Thursday interview with a Miami-based local television station, Obama said he thinks few people believe he wants to impose socialism on the country.

"The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican," he told Noticias Univision 23 in a White House interview.

"I mean, what I believe in is a tax system that is fair," he continued. "I don't think government can solve every problem. I think that we should make sure that we're helping young people go to school. We should make sure that our government is building good roads and bridges and hospitals and airports so that we have a good infrastructure.

He didn't call himself a 1980s Republican. Nor did he say he considered himself a 1980s Republican. He said he'd be considered a moderate Republican in the 1980s based on his belief in a fair taxes, his belief that government can't solve every problem, that young people need help going to school, that government is building good infrastructure.

I realize facts and meanings get lost in the black/white, "either this or that" world of 'progressives,' but anyone with half a brain would see Obama was pointing out the stupidity of Republicans calling him a socialist.

Now you can spin and twist it to match your original reply. In fact, I'm expecting it.
