Is simply that people don't know what will work any longer, so they go to the fallback position. Reagan was the last politician to make a fundamental change in US policy, so the fallback position is to go to the Reagan position. That the Reagan position no longer makes sense, about like taking flu medicine for cancer, doesn't matter, it's the fallback position until someone else changes is. Since Obama simply didn't have the gravitas to change it, it's going to be this way until someone DOES have the political weight to change the Reagan fallback.
