Obama made a sensible comment admiring how Reagan in the 1980s
took over the White House, Congress, etc. ("Reagan Revolution") and
made an analogy about how Democrats should be doing that now because
it's their chance. For one reason or another, the Clintons tried
to twist this as saying Obama admires Ronald Reagan, which he
wasn't at all. If you don't know Reagan very well, he is the Republican
deity because during the 1980s he pushed their agenda greatly. He
was also a corrupt asshole who didn't give a shit about the poor or
middle-class ("reaganomics") so a Democrat admiring Reagan would cast
shock from other left-leaning people.
