I can't vote because I wasn't alive when Reagan was President so I can't say.

So Obama was a better President?

No, it wasn't. I voted for Obama because he's black, just like all good "libruls."

Obama by a mile.

Reagan was pretty awful. He really worked to screw over working people with stagnant wages and encouraged the economy to grow through rampant credit-driven consumerism. Those things are bankrupting the country and destroying the middle class to this day.

And let's not forget the Reagan administration twiddling their thumbs for years while thousands died from AIDS.

Jimmy Carter was a better president than the last president. Carter forged peace in the Middle East.

Reagan was a great president. The economy surged and the Cold War was won.

And btw, I'm a Gen Xer who voted for Obama twice, so I remember "The Gipper", didn't like him much


sold guns to Iran to get American Hostages is a noble thing in my book. Didn't Obama sold arms to the Mexican drug cartels across the border and denied the whole thing? I didn't know the Mexican drug cartels were our allies maybe to you.


Reagan was fighting to win the COLD WAR and he did, if it was up to you liberals, you all would waive the white flag and extended the Cold War for another 50 years.


Under Obama, the NSA was spying on all Americans and our allies around the world and his CIA boy lied under oath in Congress. If that's not an impeachable offense, I don't know what it.


Obama couldn't hold Reagan's jock.

This is the worst type of poll. Their presidencies do not intersect. Neither Reagan nor Obama represent anything but a symbol (of what, I could only venture a guess).

Reagan could have been removed from office, tried, convicted and executed for treason for Iran Contra, I'm glad you see it otherwise, as it proves how biased and partisan you are....

Obama by a mile????? put the crack pipe down.

Reagan brought down inflation that was on double digits under Carter, if that's not helping the working people then I don't know what is.....Reagan won re-election with a 49 state landslide which means MILLIONS of Democrats voted for him because they were better off with him.

and what did you wanted Reagan to do about AIDS again?......I didn't know a President finds cure for diseases......you sound clueless.


Obama didn't do crap about the killings in the black communities in the country including his hometown of Chicago.....I guess you need to be gay with AIDS to get urgent priority from the liberals.....Black on black killings? Not so important.....lol
