Haven’t liberals, including Obama, spent decades telling us how evil Reagan was?

Via WaPo:

“The progress that we mark today is yet another demonstration that we don’t have to be imprisoned by the past,” Obama said. “When something isn’t working, we can and will change.”

Tuesday afternoon, with the Cuba agreement done but not yet announced, the president was already declaring this the age of Obama and comparing himself to Ronald Reagan.

Top Obama aides — White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and White House Counsel Neil Eggleston — organized a conference call for White House alumni. Some of them worried at first that it was bad news, that the White House was about to tell them that thanks to recent government hacks, their personal data was now sitting in Beijing.

Instead, Obama got on the line to deliver a message about as big as it gets in politics.

“Much in the same way that the Reagan Revolution required Bush Senior” to cement the legacy of a truly transformative president, Obama said, “we’ve got to make sure that we’re laying the foundation” for the next Democrat elected, according to someone who heard the call.
