Yea he didn't mention Obama or Sanders, HOWEVER he knocked Reagan for something that Obama (in particular) and Sanders are both guilty of, and guilty of in a much larger way. He used NATIONAL DEBT to judge Reagan, yet he won't use NATIONAL DEBT to judge Obama. That's a double standard.
Btw, Obama has incurred more national debt than EVERY past president combined.

My point is your calling him biased when you are trying to defend the man most responsible for destroying the American Dream by bringing up Obama and Sanders, which he didn't mention. Reagan was terrible, just because someone says that doesn't mean they don't also think Obama was terrible. All honesty I'm outside looking in, I live in Canada and from where I stand. Yeah, Obama wasn't a great president. I probably have different reasons for that, still agree though.

Reagan brought our economy out of horrible recession. His recovery wasn't at the anemic pace of 1-2% a year that Obama's presidency has brought us. Reagan grew the economy at 4-5% a year. Reagan's policies ushered in the largest expansion of private sector growth and his policies laid the foundation for the tech surge of the 90's. It's also no coincidence that the decade in which American influence and power was at its peak, was during Reagan's time in office. Hands down greatest president of the modern era.

Edited by Comptonburger: 1/28/2016 3:57:54 AMOf course it was easy for Reagan to bring the economy out of recession - because wealth and income inequality were not as high at the time. He set us on that path. There was still a strong middle class to drive consumer spending. Now there is not. Much harder to orchestrate a recovery under the circumstances, especially with congress's voting records more divided than ever.

I was there and I remember what Reagan did. I actually lived it. It doesn't take much to repeat what a liberal professor taught you in a liberal arts college. If we are ever fortunate enough to have a president with the balls he had again in my lifetime I will be thankful. Doubt we will see it though. Too many of your like minded peers with voting privileges.
