Reagan vs Obama Humor

Good clips of Reagan-speak.  The intention of this video was to tease President Obama http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=wrRTau5jusU

But what's funny about Reagan's record?

Candidate Reagan promised to cut spending including abolishing the Dept of Education and the Dept of Energy.  He did neither.  He not only expanded these Dept's but he expanded gov't and ran deficits that he criticized as a candidate.  I don't see why so many people liked him as president.  I've watched his clips yea he did speak well and he had a different style of funny versus Pres. Obama.  The difference is Reagan talked "conservative" the talk but didn't walk the walk.  Here's an article from '88 supporting that point: http://mises.org/freemarket_detail.aspx?control=488

Who's the joke on? The American people.
