old post but let's review anyway, "the other side does it too", sound familiar?
Imagine a world that never knew Ronald Reagan:
No Scalia, No Rumsfeld, No Cheney. No Bushes and all of their appointments and disasters. No funding of dictators like Saddam Hussein (Reagan propped him up big time) or psychopaths like Osama Bin Laden (that worked out well).
An America far less dependent on oil. A superpower respected for skilled diplomacy in ending conflicts, instead of starting them. And a healthy economy with a strong middle class instead of a world where the labor movement has been viciously attacked, and the middle class is systematically being dismantled. Under Reagan, corporations gained massive power to the point today where they have become "people". Unions, the worker's last protection, were severely weakened, and the socioeconomic gap exploded. He also bankrupted us, pouring hundreds of billions into wasteful spending, like the failed and ridiculous Star Wars missile-defense system. All in just 8 short years.
Reagan created the modern plutocracy.
REAGAN CUT AND RUN, OBAMA DIDN'T COWER
OBAMA KILLED TERRORISTS, REAGAN GAVE THEM WEAPONS
AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS:
REAGAN: I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and lived here even though sometime back they may have entered illegally.-Ronald Reagan 10/28/1984
OBAMA:No matter how decent they are, no matter their reasons, the 11 million who broke these law should be held accountable.-Barack Obama July 2010
REAGAN RAISED INCOME TAXES 11 TIMES, OBAMA NEVER
DEFICIT SPENDING
ABORTION
it's so amazing how republicans spin so successfully think of all the years you too thought Reagan was all that and two bags of chips, just to find out years later all they accuse the current Pres. of he didn't do but their post mortem hero did. you remember every comparison of Obama was matched to Reagan, until it was exposed that he was a bigger perpetrator of their accusations against Pres., now you know why they almost never hoist his rotted carcass up on their shoulders lately the hero was just the name of a sandwich that had nothing to do with the actor.
please read the text after those titles above and really gey a sense of who is the better Pres.
if i might quote Kirk Franklin lyrics in song Stomp, "it ain't over, it ain't over".
