OK...so lets look at Reagan
A legendary President and idol of Conservatives. Cured the malaise that was engulfing the nation and made people proud to be Americans again. Reversed an economic recession and brought jobs. Cut taxes by a huge margin. Worked closely with Gorbachev on the collapse of the Soviet Union
I think history is starting to reevaluate Reagan and his impact. Long term impact of his supply side policies led to the demise of the middle class and mountains of debt. Iran Contra was outright illegal.
I think Obama closely mirrors Reagan in his economic recovery and has more of a lasting legacy
