President Obama once again quoted “that great socialist,” Ronald Reagan, to call for more infrastructure spending, but he failed to recall the Reagan was the first president to veto a transportation bill in the 20th century.

“Ronald Reagan once said that rebuilding our infrastructure is ‘common sense’ — ‘an investment in tomorrow that we need to make today,'” Obama told the ALF-CIO today. “Ronald Reagan said that, that great socialist — Ronald Reagan,” he joked.
