Reagan made sure to keep drugs illegal and put more blacks in prison with mandatory sentencing for crack which mainly blacks used. He was far from a saint. He was a right wing psycho who was a crappy actor. Drugs are bad mmmmmmmmmmkay.
Drug policy under Reagan was no worse than under any other president since 1960. Not until Obama, to his credit, has there been any movement towards easing the stiff penalties for non-violent drug offenders. Sure didn't happen under Clinton. Though he did pardon his cokehead brother Roger.

Reagan was a good personality. He was a horrible policymaker.
Can back you back up that claim?.....Reagan was a successful governor of the biggest state of the Union for 8 years in California and left the budget in a surplus.....Obama was a Chicago community organizer and then an average 1 term Senator that missed many votes in the Senate.

The comparison is not even close.
What does any of that have to do with their respective presidencies?
Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama?
I know both presidents came to office with a terrible economy ,but who was a better President and why?
Least worse would be better. They remind me of each other. Personable but untrustworthy.
Since Reagan ran on small government and went against his word, and I'm for small government, I think Reagan was more offensive.
Obama divided this country and gave is Obamacare which is the worst health care bill ever as premiums for people with health insurance can't afford to have insurance much longer!
Obama is worse than Carter and I never expected to say that.

All true. Reagan was a long time ago, and many here are either too young, or too feeble to remember how great he was. LBJ, Carter, and Obama have been the three WORST Presidents in my lifetime. Great Society, and Fundamental Tranformation my ass.
