10. Reagan had strong, intelligent advisors- Obama has few strong advisors
11. Reagan respected the US military- Obama does not
12. Reagan grew up in the US midwest- God knows where Obama grew up\
13. Reagan opposed the trial lawyer's association- Obama supports them
14. Reagan defeated the Russians- Obama has been defeated by the Russians
15. America was feared in the world under Reagan- America is a laughing stock with Obama
16. Personal incomes rose under Reagan- incomes declined under Obama
17. Reagan reduced the number of people in poverty- Obama increased them
For liberals- do you think that the nation was better off during the Reagan years, or the Obama years?
Depends on who you are. From my point of view I seen the spread of AIDES from Reagen's inactivity and the spread of cheap cocaine which was turned into crack during his watch. This also lead into the highest gang growth ever in this country which also was the begining and peak of the murder rate in this country (ask anyone from Miami)
Obama quote shortly after election: "We won, you lost. Get over it."
Way to reach across the aisle, Mr. President.
That does sound more like his predessor who stole it before him. I guess I would have said the same thing if nutcases kept coming out and (still are) claim that I was from Kenya
The Congressional Budget Office estimated that Obamacare would reduce deficits by more than $100 billion in the first decade, and by considerably more in the second decade -- by half a percent of economic growth. (A half percent of GDP over a decade could mean reducing deficits by more than $1 trillion.)
This is about government spending, deficits, and debt. Lets just say Obamacare will reduce our deficits by $500 billion dollars.
That means with all the Obama spending you listed, the $831 billion for the stimulus, and the $500 billion in reduced deficits from Obamacare, (Obama spent $331 billion dollars.)
Google image search "presidential spending chart", Obama's spending is so low its crazy.
There was a grand plan by the Republicans to make sure that Obama was a one-term president and they were the architects of a scheme to drag the whole country down
But the average pinhead refuses to acknowledge that, I wonder why?
Hell, many of them admitted to taking part in shutting down the government
There were only 3 presidents whose vetoes were overridden more than Reagan's and that was:
Andrew Johnson - 15
Truman - 12
Ford - 12
Reagan's vetoes were overridden 9 times tied only by FDR.
Yet Reagan still worked with O'Neill to pass what he wanted by giving concessions to congressional democrats.
Compare that with Obama who knew he couldn't run on his record since it didn't exist and couldn't run on his true intentions since they weren't popular. Instead, Obama ran against congressional republicans even when he had nearly all of congress and the presidency.
Obama sucks plain and simple and he isn't at all what was sold to the country when he was catapulted to the presidency via his skin color and "coolness" factor.
This is the matter of it all is'nt it?
Like I said before, Congressional leaders PLANNED to fight him on anything that he did in order to make him a one term president. The people seen through this madness along with the weak opposition that they had run against him guaranteed that he served another term.
Let us not forget, as Clinton points out, that if interest rates were at recent historic norms, then our national deficit would be back to $1 Trillion a year. The mantra that the deficit has been cut in half ignores that a Trickle Down policy of the most aggressive QE in our nation's history has significantly cut lowered interest rates.
Yeah, our national deficit is falling primarily due to QE money creation benefiting the rich!!!

I am sure Democrats had no plans to make George W. Bush a one term president. They also didn't oppose him. They also didn't tell him that they expected more say due to the close 2000 election. Obama is the first president to have the opposing party work against his plans that goes against the opposing party's ideology. Obama is special and must be treated with kid gloves.
LOL that people are still trying to push this con. As for (3) Afghanistan, it was strongly supported by Pres. Obama and most democrats. So that point is a clear fail.
My source disagrees with you, but I will concede you are correct. I edited my previous post bellow, and made Iraq war spending $806 billion dollars.
GW Bush spending,
1.) $2.5 trillion dollars on trickle down tax cuts. (These tax cuts decreased our governments revenues by $2.5 trillion dollars, and that money went to our deficits and national debt.)
4.) $100's of billions of dollars (annually) on new federal subsidy programs to special interest groups such as state governments, businesses, nonprofit groups, and individuals.
