Cartoon Obama Punches Out Reagan In New Conservative Anti-Spending Flick (VIDEO)

Griggs added: "Everyone knows that the only appropriate uses of government money are handouts to the rich and to the military-industrial complex, just like Reagan backed!"

yup, no deficit spending with Regan

Pedantic note: That's digital animation, not claymation.

It takes less design effort to keep claymation out of the uncanny valley.

Also pedantic: Obama and Reagan really should be the same height: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heights_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States_and_presidential_candidates

Maybe this little flick will have such a huge impact as "An American Carol" or Ben Stein's "Expelled"

Conservatives and creativity just do not mix. They suck at it. Their music sucks, their jokes aren't funny, and they couldn't write a decent movie to save their lives.

Reagan is wearing the stars and stripes short, and Obama is wearing a strange color shorts with his campaign buckle.

By the way, all this is really small stuff. The new unemployment figures show further job loses, and that is the MAJOR story for the mid-terms.

Why don't we have a comment thread on the new unemployment numbers story?

Another grifter exploiting right wing paranoia to make a buck.

Let's start with axing the overseas military Spending, the wars, and all the rest of the nonsense in the middle east. It's amazing that they won't blink at that spending but when it comes to doing something that benefits the common man at home, their panties get bundled pretty quick.

This is the dumbest thing ever. Ronald Reagan invented deficit spending as we know it. INVENTED DEFICIT SPENDING. He tripled the National debt.

Never let anyone tell you that the wealthy and their GOP henchmen do not know how to put their boot-heel on the neck of the middle-class.

They've been waging successful war intent upon the destruction of the middle-class since the sixties. Oh those halcyon days of anti-war protests and single-income households putting their children through college.

The middle-class had far too much power as far as the wealthy were concerned.

Enter the long term strategy of deficit spending and tax cuts for the wealthy, along with myriad schemes to enhance the re-distribution of wealth upward.

These days, with the economy in shambles, the infrastructure failing, and public education on the ropes, they can smell victory. They're putting the pedal to the metal with their 2010 election hopes and aspirations.

It's amazing how Regan Maximus was in office 8 years and didn't spend a dime or run a deficit -- same with Bush 43 -- how did they do that ?

I wonder if the current administration went around saying "we're not spending money" and "we're the problem" or "we're starving the beast" would conservatives fall for it ?

Because they certainly did for Regan and Bush & Bush.

Only modern day administration that even came close to achieving the fiscal conservative pipe dream was Clinton - a Democrat.

So, Christina Bellantoni and TPM consider this to be an interview? More like a promo for the flick, if you ask me, as Ms. Bellantoni just pretty much let Mr. Griggs say whatever he wanted to say and challenged him on nothing - not the fact that Reagan increased spending, increased the size of the government, raised taxes many times, and increased both the deficit and debt. Sharron Angel would just love Ms. Bellantoni's interview style!

Wonder which Billionaire paid for this movie? Just like Roves PAC is funded by only 4 contributors, all Billionaires. Go figure!

Where were these people when Bush ran the debt from $6 trillion to $12 trillion??? Where were they?

These guys are trying to scare white folks with the image of: "Look, the black guy is gonna steal your money"-----and it's gonna work, because it always does.

Hilarious. Ronald Racist was a huge deficit spender. And they show the foreclosures caused by conservative deregulation and the exponential growth of income inequality they caused.

That's...rich.

Maybe I missed something, but didn't Reagan leave office more than two decades ago, and die more than half a decade ago? Didn't his fiscal policies explode the deficit, while the "tax and spend" liberals of the Clinton era actually turn that around and end up with us having a surplus?

And isn't it fascinating that the most recent Republican President only have a fleeting appearance; that none of the commentators had their names shown; that aside from one token appearance the only non-white in the video was Barack Obama?

I also loved how they did a wonder Breitbart on Obama's speeches--nice editing there, Mr. Griggs! Breitbart would have done a better job, but I'm sure you did him proud!

Really; we simply can't let these loons back in charge of the country.

(And is it just me that finds it incredibly creepy how hard the right has hugged Reagan to their collective bosom? You don't see folks going around making videos like that with clips of Roosevelt in them.)

Well... if ya' want less government, then why do you want laws saying only a man and woman can marry, and a woman can't choose to end a pregnancy under dire circumstances? Huh?

Let's see, it is not a "big" government vs. "small" government issue. It is about effective governance which was never present between 2001 to 2009. During that time of Bushwacked government, our nation was had ineffective governance creating the following:

Recession;
a commander-in-chief that bungled war;
inept foreign policy;
falling asleep during Crawford,Texas vacation in 2001 before 9/11;
incompetent leadership from FEMA during Hurricane Katrina;
unregulated business;
failing public works (infrastructure) at the national, state, and local levels; all this and more from 8 years of Republican misrule.
Newt Gingrich ..." moral responsibility to God..." Newt, go cheat on your wife. That seems to be the only act you have mastered.

First off, do these current group of conservative wackos have the permission to be spouting "Reagan is all God all the time" crap? Reagan was way wrong, but not a flippin' lunatic.

Secondly, Obama would woop old Ronny's butt, live, in the cinema, politically & especially in cartoon character. Ronny was a poser, an actor, pure phony from the get.
