Don't worry. "Historians" will be sure to scrub BO clean of all his sins.
I don't think so, because Obama will tarnish the Democratic Party name and the ideological label of progressive liberalism, they will trash Obama, and in so doing attempt to regain some of their lost pride and reputation.
And meanwhile it was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA into law.
I agree that NAFTA sucks, but it has zero to with Reagan's slaughtering of The American Dream. At least Clinton left a surplus and had the sense to put fair tax rates in place. And btw...Raygun sucked too.
PullMyfinger,
Congress spent, on average, 2.8% more than Reagan asked for. And 24.5% more over 8 years. Every balanced-budget Reagan presented to Congress was declared DOA by (Democrat) Tip O'Neil.
And the icing on the cake is that even more people think Obama is a failure than Bush. There's still three more years for his numbers to drop even more.
Who could possibly be surprised by this?
Bush's approval was driven down by the media. Obama has been supported by the media through thick and thin. His disapproval is all of his own making.
Reagan was a great President. No question about it.
Getting elected does not make a POTUS great. It's his legacy and Reagan's legacy was placing the destruction of the middle class on the fast track. Read your history. Are you one of those that STILL buys into his failed voodoo economic policies forty some odd years after the fact? Even the Pope is publicly denouncing the voodoo that Reagan cursed us with.
Obama is the welfare president. His one success is making more POOR people and trying to drag success down. JFK would not fare well in todays political climate. There are too many people asking what the country can do for them.
"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."
Oh, really? And on what do you base that opinion? Reagan brought us back from the Carter economy (not as bad as Obama's, but bad) and we had 96 months of economic expansion. Jobs, jobs, jobs.
I lived throught the Carter years (which were awful) and the Reagan years were the best of my life to date!
and why do you say that? I just love people who post things for no reason, no information, no nothing, just nothing statements.. Oh well, suit yourself.
Thus your ability (or more properly inability) to evaluate the competence of US presidents. Given this defficiency, perhaps you should not be allowed to vote.
