The rest of the country is waking up the facts that all of us so-called "haters" and "racists" warned about. It's baseless when a habitual deflector cries deflection.
I'd like to coin a new phrase; Obama-addict
You people are so addicted to him that you need him like a fix.
No need for a new phrase, the most descriptive of Obama was created to describe Reagan, the 'Teflon President'
Let's just say this: you are depending on what you read, did you work with him or know him personally? NOPE!!!!! I know for a fact, what you are saying, regardless of who reported it, is not true. BTW, his Alzheimer's disease was diagnosed in the mid 90s and if he had any early signs it was toward the end of his second term, not during the majority of his presidency.

did I miss your reply or was it easier to just skip it? you Reagan lovers always seem to gloss over the facts
tripled the national debt
unemployment went from 7.5% to 11%
cut taxes for his rich pals while raising taxes on the middle class
ignored the aids epidemic
granted amnesty to 3 million illegals (most right wing folks don't like that sort of thing)
gave billions of dollars to Islamic "freedom fighters" the same who took down the towers on 911
Iran Contra affair
dementia in office (oh that's right you didn't mind because it was only the last half of his presidency)
did nothing to retaliate for the bombing deaths of over 300 of our marines.
Anyone care to dig into the approval rates for some of these presidents at the end of their terms? I guarantee that every single one has seen a bump in the public's perception of them. So if Obama is mid-pack now, I can't wait to see what his numbers are in 5 years.
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.
Where'd they take that poll? At a Mississippi honky-tonk?
Reagan couldn't win the nomination in his OWN party today if.he had to run on his record as president.
Stop wasting folks' time with this nonsense.
The same Reagan that banned guns, gave amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, was a union leader who led strikes, and gave weapons to Muslim extremists?
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.
The Reagan White House had more criminals in it (than any other White House in American history.)
