Agreed. Especially when Reagan complained about the debt and grew it faster and larger than the one he complained about.

Reagan NEVER doubled the national debt like Obama did.

The comparison is not even close.
Obama was a state Senator before he was a US Senator

No contest, why even try to compare.

If getting Binladen and being able to smooth talk is enough to make a great president, we are doomed.

Adding $5T is downright unpatriotic - Barack Obama

So he is twice as unpatriotic as GWB. They both sucked equally IMHO

For us blue collar workers in the eigties, and after the prior 18 years of JFK, RFK, MLK assasinations and Johnson's pet Viet Nam, Nixon and Carter... Reagan and his economic explosion was WONDERFUL!


What did we get for our $10T under Obama? I know, the rich got richer the poor got the picture. I wonder how many cry to Obama each night.

yeah, a state senator is on the same level as a 2 term governor of the biggest state of the Union in California.
