Didn't Democrats mock this nonsense?

Remember when Democrats mocked Republicans for trying to rename everything after Ronald Reagan, without waiting for the judgment of history?

Of course, at the time, Reagan had completed eight years in the White House, not a mere few weeks. And, Reagan was suffering from advanced dementia, so he couldn't be held responsible for not discouraging the nonsense. Obama seems to think this is his due.
