Ms. Mix makes the extraordinary claim that

"'This is the time the planet will begin to heal,' a paraphrase of an
Obama speech, is no more aggrandizing than Reagan's constant reference
to America 'as a shining city on a hill.' And he didn't originate it:
The Puritans arrived on these shores with the belief that their view
of the Covenant would usher in the coming of the Messiah. They weren't
talking Obama, and neither is Obama talking about Obama as anything
other than a candidate for President, the best I've seen in my
lifetime."

I don't dare presume to speak for Obama or Ronald Reagan, I'd much
rather go straight to the source and let them speak for themselves.
This is all the more true given Ms. Mix's deftness at misrepresenting
others.

First, Barack Obama assured us of his absolute certainty about the
waters rising and the planet healing as a result of his nomination:

"I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to
look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began
to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was
the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet
began to heal."

(BTW: A rising tide lifts all boats but a rising ocean may sink the planet.)

Second, Ronald Reagan told us what he meant by a "shining city upon a hill":

"And that's about all I have to say tonight. Except for one thing. The
past few days when I've been at that window upstairs, I've thought a
bit of the 'shining city upon a hill.' The phrase comes from John
Winthrop, who wrote it to describe the America he imagined. What he
imagined was important because he was an early Pilgrim, an early
freedom man. He journeyed here on what today we'd call a little wooden
boat; and like the other Pilgrims, he was looking for a home that
would be free.

"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't
know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my
mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans,
wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living
in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce
and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors
and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get
here. That's how I saw it and see it still.

"And how stands the city on this winter night? More prosperous, more
secure, and happier than it was eight years ago. But more than that;
after 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on
the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm.
And she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have
freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are
hurtling through the darkness, toward home.

"We've done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final
word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women
across America who for eight years did the work that brought America
back. My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a
difference. We made the city stronger. We made the city freer, and we
left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all.

"And so, good bye, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America."

I dare say that Michelle Obama would disagree with the Gipper but the
difference between Obama and Reagan is that Obama declared with
CERTAINTY that his nomination was a planet-saving moment and Reagan
simply declared his vision and hope for America.
