yes, but his policies hurt the American people. He was an actor and was able to convince people that all was well when things were falling apart. The deficit quadrupled, he raised taxes 11 times, he decreased monies given to mental health facilities which somewhat caused our homeless problem, under his tenure the U.S. went from the primary lender to the primary borrower. What about the scandals? Iran-Contra, Savings and Loan crisis etc etc etc

The record debt of today and all of the scandals dont  seem to trouble you at all.  Why are you troubled by those that you mentioned?

Last time I read the Constitution, the President didn't have control over taxation......the dim infested congress of those years raised taxes 11 times...the dim infested congress of those years decreased money given to mental facilities....the dim infested congress of those years caused us to go from a lender to a borrower........It would have been much worse, had President Reagan not been there to diminish the destruction waged upon the American people by the dim infested congress of those years......

so.......all the problems that you guys complain about now is not Obama's fault? It is the fault of the Congressmen? Doesnt the President have to sign bills when passed?

Except when a Republican is in office. The blame is then shifted to Congress. Go figure?????

The dim infested congress of 2010.......

[thetragichippy]

Obamacare was passed by a democratic congress.......I blame the democrats AND their leader

[stevenash]

you asked me a question about Reagan.

And I am asking you that if it applies to Reagan, does it not also apply to Obama?

[BS Wildcats]

Obama is the whole government. ;)

Who needs congress and the senate when he uses "executive power"? Seems to have happened quite a bit since dems lost control of the house and senate. He sure would like to be the whole government, then he could implement his socialist society.

[Big girl]

And I am asking you that if it applies to Reagan, does it not also apply to Obama?

nope. President Obama believes in helping the poor.Reagan didnt. Look at that supply side economic mess. When will the wealth trickle down?

[Big girl]

Ronald Reagan issued 381 executive orders, 13 regarding immigration. President Obama has issued 199. So what were you guys saying?.obamacare is NOT an insurance plan.
