Basicaly they are just as shocked now as they were then by Reagan's results. They would like to rewrite history but the results are there for anyone to see.Reagan is probaly the most likely president to go down with other modern prersident to go down as one of the great presidents.
If Regan was a bad actor then that makes Obama the Thief in the Night?
Anyone that would steal money out of your children's and grandchildren's piggy banks is just lower than pond scum. Better known as a scumsucker.
Gee, didn't hear you whine during the Bush administration started all of this crap, did I?
Your comment is disingenuous at best.

reagan stopped the cold war and restored sense of self respect after vietnam. he did a lot. however he was not an economist, debt is not in fact meaningless, debt is slavery.
And in 8 years Reagan built a debt that was how much less than Obama has created in 5 months. How in hell can people like you talk about debt when your man has created more of it than all the preceding Presidents managed to do in so short a time.
Reagan did not end the Cold War. And he restored no national "sense of self respect after Vietnam." Are you kidding me?
Who was the President when the Soviet Union broke up? Hmmmm, was it Carter? Nope. Was it Clinton? Nope and it wasn't either Bush either. I wonder just who it was.

How about a link to some hard figures on that?
The National Debt was way over $10 trillion before Obama's inauguration.

Come on and get your mind out of reverse.
Are you saying that an American president brought the Soviet Union to its knees.
I think you have a problem with tunnel vision and don't understand economics or politics or geography at all.
Just look at the land mass of Russia.
Actually he did.. Remember we had a very lengthy Vietnam War ending with a nasty defeat, followed by Watergate which revealed an extensive crime network under Nixon, followed by another pair of presidential blunders - "Pardon me" Ford and of course Jimmy Carter. After what had happened in the 20 or so years prior to Reagan taking office, his 1980 campaign was music to the ears of demoralized Americans. He restored faith in the presidency and restored American confidence - Hence his high approval ratings, dual landslides, and his post-murtom climb to the #9 spot on the best presidents of all time list.
Reagan did all those things and these libs keep on talking about how bad he was? Hmmm, I do wonder. Oh hell, I am only 76 years old and haven't lived through 13 or so Presidents. I guess that must be true, though.
