There is a mythology that Reagan was one of the greatest presidents. Unless you actually look at his "accomplishments"
Just like the mythology that the Republicans are trying (but I think will fail) to cement about Obama that he was a 'disaster'.
I too want to go deeper than mythology and have an honest look at the direction that the DLC has taken the party. That may involve criticism, and in that criticism names may be mentioned. At least that's how its usually done. I'd like to think this is a place we can speak our minds even if it may be uncomfortable for some to hear, or may include a name attached to that criticism that some only want to be spoken in glowing terms.
