    Re: Obama is the new Reagan???

    Sorry I wanted to make it easier for you. Enjoy. I copied it from one of the many sites on Reagan.

    On January 20, 1981, Reagan took office. Only 69 days later he was shot by a would-be assassin, but quickly recovered and returned to duty. His grace and wit during the dangerous incident caused his popularity to soar.
    Dealing skillfully with Congress, Reagan obtained legislation to stimulate economic growth, curb inflation, increase employment, and strengthen national defense. He embarked upon a course of cutting taxes and Government expenditures, refusing to deviate from it when the strengthening of defense forces led to a large deficit.
    A renewal of national self-confidence by 1984 helped Reagan and Bush win a second term with an unprecedented number of electoral votes. Their victory turned away Democratic challengers Walter F. Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro.
    In 1986 Reagan obtained an overhaul of the income tax code, which eliminated many deductions and exempted millions of people with low incomes. At the end of his administration, the Nation was enjoying its longest recorded period of peacetime prosperity without recession or depression.
    In foreign policy, Reagan sought to achieve "peace through strength." During his two terms he increased defense spending 35 percent, but sought to improve relations with the Soviet Union. In dramatic meetings with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, he negotiated a treaty that would eliminate intermediate-range nuclear missiles. Reagan declared war against international terrorism, sending American bombers against Libya after evidence came out that Libya was involved in an attack on American soldiers in a West Berlin nightclub.
    By ordering naval escorts in the Persian Gulf, he maintained the free flow of oil during the Iran-Iraq war. In keeping with the Reagan Doctrine, he gave support to anti-Communist insurgencies in Central America, Asia, and Africa.
    Overall, the Reagan years saw a restoration of prosperity, and the goal of peace through strength seemed to be within grasp.

    Big deal I was in berlin a couple of times, and have the mandatory check point charlie pics. Even got the russian war memorial guard. These fun trips ended when one of my buddies went to sleep on the train, and woke in stalinalee, 4 months of jail time before they let him out. But There are even sites that aere coplementary to hitler, so your cut and paste wasn't read but part way.Gee remember when ronnie had his american advisors showing central american death squads to kill preists and nuns? Guess they werefor some sort of land reform, but thats communism isn't it?.

    I honestly don't see how you can even compare Mr. President Ronald Reagan to Obama.....Obama couldn't hold the " Brill Cream " Mr. Reagan used, that's how much beneath Obama is to the great man.... In time if he takes office and becomes President, then he might get a little reconigition as being the new President.....

    But please don't insult Mr. Reagan...I bet he rolled over in his grave and ready to haunt your life till you die for dis-respecting him like that.....

    Well we all can't see things the same your beyond reason with this topic. I don't see any common ground and I sure as heck don't want to start another us versus them debate, I'm still not done with Barry! You can deny what is easy reading and find the glass half empty on this subject but I will not. Just remember noone is pefect even that fella looking at you in the mirror.

    Barry on the other hand, who has done nothing, mind you nothing has the media already talking of a future Federal Holiday?? Sure it could take years to accomplish but geez let the guy serve for a term before putting him up on this Pedestal.

    When you say nothing, you are quite wrong. He WON! he will be here for at least 4 years. So I fel for you guys, for four long years, you will be looking backwards. Guess thats what the Gov.of old guys does best.I could have lived with McCain, and had lot of chuckles with Sarah and geography, but you guys will be eating your hearts out over this.

    No, your right he won and where your wrong is that it's not me who will be dealing with him it's ALL of us. (Kinda sad to take that as his only accomplishment but I'll give it to ya.) It fit into one tidy little phrase too, how nice.

    LOL! Looking backwards? That's all you Libs did while discussing the election and Bush wasn't even running HA HA your pretty funny. Tune into FOX they will fix that CRS.

    Nothing could be discussed on here without bringing Bush into the conversation and I'll bet if you reply you will do it again, wanna bet?

    Barry and his cronies are the next powers to be and I'm staying right here living with what they deal us. I'll gripe about his gaffs and stupid mistakes (goodness I might be writing a book) but in the end the GOP or a real thrid party will have their turn and it will start all over again. hagd

    God forbid that Obama does something good for this country cause most of you would not even recognize him for it.

    So, which of the following would be GOOD:

    * Nationalized Police Force
    * Socialized 401K
    * Socialized Medicine
    * Smaller Military
    * Closing of Gitmo
    * Banning Assault Weapons
    * Banning Handguns
    * 50% increase in ammo costs
    * Moratorium on Offshore Drilling......oh wait, that EXISTED for the LAST BILLION Years and was JUST lifted by a SMART president.
    * Throwing a dinner party for Chavez and Adaminnijad.
    * BAN on Coal Plants
    * BAN on Nuclear Power

    Bla, Bla, Bla........

    Look....we see things differently.............I seem to CARE about the above things..while most here are infatuated with Obama......

    In 4 years, when we can throw him OUT, but it may be too late.........ALL of the above things will HURT the country, NOT Help.

    Later,

    Geo

    Dude when he does something good we will agree but he has done nothing but well, hmmm, uhh lets see (searching hold on...) uummm, well...shoot I don't know what he has done but he speaks well and the women (cough, cough)on the View thinks he sexy! LOL!

    Oops I forgot he did win the election see I knew he did something. When are they gonna start the recounts and lawsuits for voter fraud and hanging chads? When the Dems lose thats what they do, right? I'm waiting to see when the GOP starts their own in depth investigations. Anyone? Maybe they completed it already?
