100% of the credit. The hostages were released because Iran did not want to screw around with Ronald Reagan who meant business. The Middle East can smell a weak leader.
How long are you going to keep up with this they were scared of Reagan bull****?

Why does it matter? Why can't you just celebrate a good moment for America, rather than devolve it to petty politics?
It's sick that all you can think about is how it helps Obama's reelection or his presidential report card, rather than the thousands of lives that will be saved because OBL is dead. Absolutely pathetic and immature.
Why does it matter??? Because the same people who are trying to say Obama get's zero credit for killing bin Laden, even though he was in charge of the mission and made the hard decisions and gave the orders, but Reagan get's 100% of the credit for the hostages being freed because of some bull**** oh he was so big and bad and brawny they were afraid of him

-I'm voting Republican because I don't believe in separation of church and state. I want to live in a theocracy like Iran.
-I'm voting Republican because I don't believe in green energy or alternative fuels. I think we should continue burning gasoline and keep the people in the status quo. As long as the oil companies maximize profits, that's good enough for me.
-I'm voting Republican because I don't believe rich people should pay taxes. In fact, I think we the people should give all our money to large corporations so they continue the illusion of trickle-down economics making us think we'll all one day be rich.
-I'm voting Republican because I don't believe in critical thinking. We should turn all our schools into churches and ban the teachings of science and evolution. That way we don't have to worry about our children being "socially engineered" or questioning anything.
-I'm voting Republican because I don't believe there should be a minimum wage or labor unions. If everyone works hard 12 hours a day in a sweatshop, they can always be replaced by other workers (even little children) whenever they get killed or injured on the job. At least we won't have to worry about those lazy 99ers collecting unemployment, right?
