Leon Wieseltier wants Obama to say “that Ronald Reagan, when he proclaimed categorically, without exception or complication, that ‘government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem,’ was a fool.” Actually, what Reagan said in his first inaugural address was that “in this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problems. Government is the problem.” He was right. I’m sorry that Reagan’s nuance has been lost on Wieseltier.
