40 Years Ago Ronald Reagan WARNED Us About Obama – Eerie Video Exposes All…

40 years ago[1], Ronald Reagan told us what would happen if we elected someone like Barack Obama. His words also apply to the likes of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. If we had truly taken his words to heart, we would not be where we are today. His words ring as true today as they did when he uttered them. “There is no such thing as Left or Right, there is only Up or Down. And regardless of their sincerity or their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.” – President Ronald Reagan… This video shows the stark contrast between Reagan and Obama. It also sadly highlights what could very well be the destruction of the Republic.

Ronald Reagan[2]

From YouTube:

    How Reagan summed up Obama in the first 5 minutes of a speech over 40 years ago.

The US has truly morphed and not in a good way since the “A Time for Choosing” campaign video from Reagan. The video was meant to help get Barry Goldwater elected. It didn’t, but it did start the historical rise of Ronald Reagan. “We’re at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars,” said Reagan about the USSR. Now we have all but forgotten his warnings about the Russians and we are told they are not a threat. They are just as big a threat today as ever, regardless of Trump’s involvement with Putin and his cronies, or Obama’s ‘flexibility’ with them. Reagan warned us of Obama and what was coming, but we ignored his warnings. The contrast between our current president, the candidates before us and Reagan is sobering to say the least. Now, we hover at the doorstep of destruction and the collapse of the shining city on the hill. Tragic.

The rise of Trump echoes the rise of Obama but this time on the right.
The ascendancy of the two might be seen as the desire of many people to seek simple solutions for complex problems. Neither was/is very big on details on how they're going to fix things.
Of course, King Barack is a huge leftist ideologue, while Trump is basically an opportunist who gives lip service to conservative ideology. He's in this as a crowning moment to his life.
But the "strongman" approach to electing leaders is a chilling reminder of how easily many people can be led around by the nose by the proper demagogue.
