Refreshingly - something, other than party politics are usual.

Obama told the Reno Gazette-Journal editorial board Monday that "Reagan
changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not
and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally
different path because the country was ready for it," Obama said.

"I think it's fair to say that the Republicans were the party of ideas
for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last 10 to 15 years in
the sense that they were challenging conventional wisdom," Obama told
the newspaper.

When a Democratic presidential candidate can praise Reagan and the
Republican party, maybe there is some hope for moderating the divide
between the two parties and the animosity between their supporters.

Not to burst your bubble, but what precisely did you read in Obama's published
statements on the above topic that you conclude constitute "praise"?
