Wow Republicans are such unbelievable history REVISIONISTS!
BTW,I no longer support either party,but I have always noticed that it has ALWAYS been a REPUBLICAN President who committed the most heinous crimes while in office,Nixon-Watergate,Reagan-Iran-Contra,GW Bush-Iraqgate/Valerie Plame Affair.
List of federal political scandals in the United States-Good Gosh look how loooooong the list is under GW and Reagan!!!!!
Another atheist ideologue making insane predictions and then following them up with equally senseless reasoning.
I am proud to be an atheist and not a STEPFORD disciple of some imaginary/mythical entity, such as the human St.Ronnie,or some non-existent spirit,ROTFLMBO!
It really comes to the bottom line , Reagan turn the economy around in 2 years despite the outrageous claims you have made. Carter at one time has 12 percent unemployment. What drove that was partially the Automotive industry were there was massive layoffs. Remember Chrysler going bankrupted?
Carter was a failure, just Obama and Reagan turned it and that's the difference.
Clinton and the President lied (People died) and this was more about running for President rather than Secret Ops. It was know by the DOD it was a Terrorist act against a American Target and they failed to act and put in a reaction team. It was more about the old shell game.
There you go just making stuff up again. You say "Reagan turn the economy around in 2 years" - WHICH "2 years was that? Was it the 2 years between his innauguration in Jan 1981 and Dec 1983 when the UE rate CLIMBED from 7.5% TO 10.8%?
Which "Outrageous claims" did I make?
You mean the DOCUMENTED FACTS?
The HISTORICAL RECORD?
UE rates and inflation rates are recorded every single month - and HAVE BEEN FOR DECADES.
And WHEN did "Carter have a 12 percent unemployment"?
I swear you bozos live in your own little dream world that has nothing to do with reality whatsoever. Highest unemployment under Carter was 7.8%. Under Reagan? 10.8%.
The economy was doing well from 1984 all the way through the end of his second term. Not bad, considering the terrible economy he inherited (13% inflation, 20+% interest rates, etc).
"The economy was doing well from 1984 all the way through the end of his second term"? - You mean including the 2 FULL YEARS (1984 - 1985) when the UE rate NEVER dropped below 7%?
Or the year of 1986 when the UE spent most of it's time at 7% or more?
Are THOSE the "doing well" years you are referring?
So I guess that means you think Obama is doing well, since the UE rate has not climbed about 7% since November.

Watergate was nothing compared to the FDR presidency (his son, Jimmy Roosevelt, said his father's administration did exactly the same thing as the Nixon administration... even more so, but were never caught).
The way Iran-Contra was done was not illegal at the time it happened.
What is "Iraq-gate?"
Valerie Plame was not convert when her name was revealed.

Geeze! You clowns are unbelievable.

Look a the Wikipedia on the Misery rates with Inflation. You find in 1908n your boy was @ a unemployment rate of 12% and combined with the Inflation rate Old Jimmy spotted a 19 percent.
Plus Carter had stagnate inflation which drove his states down.
Not I got to be fair and jimmy in the beginning of his term has a 7.3 percent. that is before he Oil embargo and the auto industry took a dump.

Let's see Clinton was caught with his pants down, not exactly a 'CRIMINAL' offense!
Well lets expand on Smooth Bill for a minute, Not only he was caught and lied to the country. He has a grave history of being a sexual predator . Every forget about the Jenifer Flowers case.
You you consider s sex crime "Heinous"????
Nixon resigned and that was the right thing to do. On the contrary the NSA is snooping in every day Americans.
That's a problem your Obama?
Iran contra ran its course and those involves were punish, but the funny thing about is at the time it was not against the law!
Valerie come on she was even a agent. Just wanted to get political traction and her Joe? what piece of work!
I could easily say those darn democrats trying spin and duck again. The Fact is any one in Office any period of time seems to have the same Issues. Politian's get their finger caught on the cookie jar and cry foul. Its no me its those pesky........!
Heck we are still compiling what Obama is trying to get past the US Constitution.!

STOP with your BS LYING ALREADY!!!!!
"On Oct. 28, 2005, a grand jury handed down a five-count indictment in the 22-month-long investigation into whether White House officials illegally leaked the identity of Valerie Plame, a covert CIA agent, in retaliation for public criticisms made by her husband, Joseph Wilson IV, about the Bush administration's case for invading Iraq. "
The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder by Vincent Bugliosi
In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. Bugliosi sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence that President Bush took this nation to war in Iraq under false pretenses—a war that has not only caused the deaths of American soldiers but also over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children; cost the United States over one trillion dollars thus far with no end in sight; and alienated many American allies in the Western world.
Vincent Bugliosi received his law degree in 1964. In his career at the L.A. County District Attorney’s office, he successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions without a single loss.

Talk about ignorant. The "Misery Index" is NOT the "Inflation Rate". The "Misery Index" is a separate index comprised of both inflation and unemployment COMBINED, so you LIED when you claimed that Carter had a 12% UE rate - that NEVER HAPPENED. The inflation rate may have been 12% - but THAT is not what you CLAIMED. You CLAIMED that Carter had a UE rate of 12%. HERE is your post:

I've marked in RED where you lied and said that Carter had a 12% unemployment rate. THAT never happened - EVER. Notice however that, that didn't stop you from LYING about it.
But OK, let's talk about that "misery index" you seem so fond of - it doesn't really tell a very happy tale about the overall Reagan years. I've already said that Reagan's 2nd term ENDED well (hence the big positive change in the "misery index") but for most of that time, it' WASN'T GOOD. It's only the last 2 years that allowed his "misery index" to end up relatively low (below 10%). Here's that same "misery index" that you seem so fond of, by month. As can clearly be seen, Reagan's "misery index" was really not all that great until the very end.
And even at that, even your OWN MEASURE shows Reagan's ending "Misery Index" level higher than the current value of Obama's. In case you forgot, HERE is YOUR MEASURE - this time by PRESIDENT, showing the starting, ending, the net change and the average misery index value for their entire Presidencies :
As can be seen in YOUR MEASURE, Reagan's ending "Misery Index" of 9.72 is higher than Obama's has been since Oct of 2012 (as seen in the previous link that shows the misery index by month) - so even by YOUR MEASUREMENT Obama has a higher rating (ie a better misery index value) than Reagan ended at. It's also readily apparent that not only is Obama's current "misery index" lower than Reagan's ending "misery index", it's also true (again, by YOUR MEASURE) that Obama's AVERAGE "misery index" rating of 10.26 is LESS than Reagan's AVERAGE "misery index" of 12.19. In fact, no president since Reagan has had an AVERAGE misery index as high as his (and only Carter ever surpassed him). As I said - and as Reagan's AVERAGE misery index shows, for most of his presidency the economy was NOT good - that's WHY his AVERAGE misery index is so high even when it ENDED fairly low (though not as low as Obama's is now).
And one last time, here is YOUR MEASURE showing the inflation rates for the Carter years. As can be seen, the HIGHEST the UE rate ever got under Carter was 7.8% - NOT "12%" as you claim.
Now, are you STILL going to argue your silly unsupportable claim?
As I said, Reagan's presidency ENDED WELL, but even your own misery index number shows that it wasn't very good overall - with an AVERAGE misery index that's REALLY BAD.
