Exactly the same could be said about BO. And regarding the Nobel committee, too, for that matter.

I can understand someone supporting Obama. I find it difficult to understand anyone saying he is doing excellent.

I must be lost. I thought was in this week's Reagan the hero thread. Now suddenly everybody is talking about the current President.

Early-on I think Obama opined that he wanted to be a paradigm changer equal to Reagan.

Hell, he already got a Nobel. What else is there? Shouldda quit then.

Reagan was a talented and charismatic mouthpiece for a well organized GOP.

I miss that level of sensibility from the republicans.

The room probably was not at Mensa headquarters.

Very well said. I couldn't agree more.

That lack of sensibility gave birth to the Tea Party.

Yet it was Reagan who fathered "trickle-down economics" and other "reaganomic" principles that can be directly linked to the horrendous present economic situation. I wouldn't call that sensible, id call that feckless experimentation with the national economy and totally irresponsible.

I view the crash under the last year of Bush first year of Obama as the chickens coming home to roost from a national mindset of more for less first floated by Reagan.

Well, at the time, those economic theories had not been fully tested, so it is a little easier to forgive the results. The implementation of those same unsuccessful practices by Bush 1 and Bush 2, without the cornerstone of reduced federal spending, that was absolutely irresponsible.

Unfortunately, Romney seems to be cut from the same cloth, and has yet to describe, in any meaningful manner, the reductions in federal spending that are an absolute must for the Voodoo Economic plan to not be an instant catastrophe.

I wouldn't argue your point - could be. But let's not forget Bill Clinton. His desire for ALL to own a home.....that may have had a lot to do with the housing collapse as well. Many believe it did.
