What??? Reagan pulled us out of a depression...apparently you weren't around for the Carter year.
It wasn't a depression. But it wasn't good. Everybody (the old timers) in my business tells me that retail was better during the Carter years than it is now.
not sure but its early for obama. interesting beyond what i imagined i would see in my own lifetime.
the man that created "debt is meaningless" economics, reaganomics-- has given mr obama the job of correcting this false teaching.
It's very strange to compare an 8 year chief executive with someone who has been in office for 5 dismal months. Obama still has plenty of time left in his only term to screw up.
Well not quite as much as I would have liked. But nearly infinitely more fiscally conservative than Chairman Maobama.
In 1980, Reagan voters wanted him to strengthen America as a world superpower. In direct contrast to this, in 2008 most Obama voters, especially here in California and in the San Francisco Bay Area, voted for Obama precisely because he was regarded as the candidate most likely to reduce America's status as the world's only superpower--more than Hillary Clinton and certainly more than John McCain. Weaken and demoralize our military, pile up more federal debt than all of Obama's 43 predecessors ****put together**** and I'd say the Obammunists are certainly getting their wish!

Funny post so long and factless. That takes real talent and hard work. Reagan piled up more debt than all of his predecessors and so did Bush. I guess you were a Clinton fan since he was the most fiscally conservative? Or are you so naive to think that it was the broken contract with america republicans that were responsible for the fiscal responsibility. You know that same group of republicans that wrote all those bills that returned the era of fiscal irresponsibility and massive defecits as soon as Clinton was gone. Look at the Bush defecits, they were smaller after the communist take over of congress. Guess you have the wrong party if fiscal responsibility is what you're about.
Personally I don't think it's fair to judge Obama against any president at the moment considering the fact that he has only had the chance to be on the job for 4 months. I think it would be better to ask this at the end of the term. I suspect that on foreign affairs he could turn out to be far better for international relations than Reagan whose record on foreign relations was not spotless, and he was spend happy at the end burdening the country with huge deficits.
