On what planet is Obama worse than Bush I, Bush II, Ford, Nixon? The only Republican presidents in the last century that didn't suck with a passion were Ike (who'd be a liberal today) and Reagan.
The current Republican House is one of the worst tragedies to hit our nation.
(I pay my respects to Mr. and Mrs. Reagan at the end of this post.)
"The presidency of Ronald Reagan in the United States was marked by multiple scandals, resulting in the investigation, indictment, or conviction of over 138 administration officials, the largest number for any US president."
But in fairness to Mr. Reagan, I deeply admire his hatred of dictators and the Berlin Wall. I admire his attempted military service. I (deeply) admire his family values and his respect for America's children. ex.ex. And I think Nancy Reagan was love, class, and elegance in its purest form.
Also R. Reagan left America in pretty good shape, and (perhaps) his tax cuts were somewhat justified, (maybe) the rich were paying a bit too much in his time.
After G(H)W Bush and Clinton raised tax rates, America was paying down its national debt and at the top of its game. Unfortunately America could not handle GW Bush's $2.5 trillion dollar tax cut, and the cost of the unneeded Iraq war.
I know how much some of you respect R. Ronald, and it sure appears I respect him too.
On the contrary, in 2004, the Senate Intelligence Committee unanimously approved a report acknowledging that it "did not find any evidence that administration officials attempted to coerce, influence or pressure analysts to change their judgements."
The following year, the bipartisan Robb-Silberman report similarly found "no indication that the intelligence community distorted the evidence regarding Iraq's WMD."
The source from CNN was by two nonprofit journalism groups.
Wrong again, Chad.
After the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts, government revenue increased by $785 billion from 2004-2007.
Tax cuts increasing government revenues, is just another republican lie.
Even GW Bush's own economists say "tax cuts do (not) increase government revenues."
"Virtually every economics Ph.D. who has worked in a prominent role in the GW Bush Administration acknowledges that the tax cuts enacted during the past six years have not paid for themselves--and were never intended to. Harvard professor Greg Mankiw, chairman of Bush's Council of Economic Advisers from 2003 to 2005, even devotes a section of his best-selling economics textbook to debunking the claim that tax cuts increase revenues."

Now you are using "media matters" as a "source? Lol.
Government revenue increased after the G.W Bush tax cuts.
Government revenue almost doubled after the Ronald Reagan tax cuts.
Government revenue increased after the John F. Kennedy tax cuts.
