No, he meant like the right's deification of Reagan. Like assigning things him credit for things that never happened. Historical revisionism at it's finest.
But yes, also like the left's deification of Kennedy. But I couldn't resist pointing out that you're both falling into the "yeah well the other side did it too!" type thing. Can we all just agree that everyone does it without the one-upsmanship?
Recall from my favorite article ever (relevant part bolded and underlined):
Quote:
That's where the gaffe stories come in. See, in this game, your "team" scores a point each time the other team says something stupid. It lets all of the supporters of your team mock and humiliate the supporters of the opposing team, on Internet message boards and around water coolers and in coffee shops nationwide. "Haha! The supposed 'genius' Obama thinks there are 57 states in the U.S.!" "Oh, yeah? Well, your last president said he was going to help terrorists plan their next attack!"
And it never ends, because if your "team" gives up a gaffe, then you need to dig one up on the other side to even the score. So, last month the Romney campaign was embarrassed when an adviser came off like he was comparing his own candidate to an Etch A Sketch toy. Thus, this month the Romney campaign had to jump on an Obama adviser's gaffe that came off like she was saying that stay-at-home moms don't do work. And on and on it goes.
