Yes, Obama did PROMISE to cut the deficit in half...

[Soggy in NOLA]

Whatever... nobody except fools like you are buying the "Bush did it" defense 3 years intro the Obama presidency. No president since FDR has been re-elected with this high unemployment.

Reagan promised to balance the budget. He didn't. He won, what? 49 states in 84?

Did you not vote for, or would you not have voted for, Reagan in 84 because he didn't accomplish what he promised?

Reagan didn't balance the budget because he never saw a defense program he didn't love but at least we got a strong military out of it. Obama won't even submit budgets because they're so freakin' huge and at the same time he's weakening the military. So what's our upside with Barry? It's not like we're in a Cold War that we're trying to win.

Not to mention, Reagan inherited a bigger mess than Obama and at least helped turn it around, not make it worse.

The economic situation in this country was horrible thanks to Carter... and there was improvement under Reagan... to think otherwise is pure partisan hackery

Yes it was bad under Carter and yes it got better while Reagan was in office. No one is saying otherwise.

However, to claim that Reagan inherited a bigger mess than Obama did, is pure partisan hackery.

yes

And kudos to you rightwinger for admitting Obama was lying, most of his supporters wouldn't do that.

It's complete bullshit. Volcker's policies were working. If anything Reagan wound up creating some huge calamities that had to be bailed out with tax payer funds (sound familiar?).

Reagan was a horrible president.

Carter had nothing to do with the economic situation. He had to deal with the damage done by "Salary Freezes for Everyone!" Nixon and "Whip Inflation Now" Ford.

The Bush recession was much worse than Carters

Also, Reagan was allowed to run up unlimited debt to spend his way out of it

Unemployment was 7.5% in January of 1981. By February of 1984, it was 7.8%.

I swear, on MSNBC this morning they had someone from the tea party on who was saying that the tea party was hoping to get some traction with this birth control thing.

 

[GuyPinestra]

I stopped listening to him 2 years ago, when it became very apparent that it did not matter what he said because he is going to do something else anyways. He is a master manipulator, and the only way to make the insanity go away is to vote him out, he will not change his agenda one bit. He...in essence, is full of shit.

Unfortunately, voting his lying ass out only means we vote another lying ass in...

That's the usual defense of a liar.

You obviously don't have a fucking clue if you think I'm defending ANYBODY. I'm not the fucktard that keeps voting for the lesser of two evils, thinking politics is some kind of game where one side wins and the other side loses.

I'm that crazy, tinfoil hat wearing motherfucker that's been screaming for 20 years that the 'game' is RIGGED, and the Dem/Rep dichotomy is a shell game that makes the CITIZENS the losers.

WAKE THE FUCK UP!!

Obama made the mistake of thinking the republicans would actually help do good things for the country.

They instead resorted to voting against their own bills to harm Obama.

They were more concerned with poltics than the countrys Future.

Party over country at every turn for the republicans.

Gee now you can call him a liar.

The country was punished so you could have a plotical hack line to spew.

Gee thanks

How much was the deficit reduced when Obama had super majorities in both houses? ....

 

[NYcarbineer]

Obama "lied" about being able to balance the budget in three years.

Reagan "lied" about dealing with enemies of the united states to free hostages and giving money to terrorists that raped and killed three American nuns.

Obama's lie seems pale in comparison. Which is why I will probably be voting for the guy..

yes we know Reagan ate babies, created crack and loved aids......try to focus;


reagan delivered....I know that stings, but you brought him up....... the Messiah? has not..... obama has run up more debt comparatively by miles and delivered very very little comparatively as well......

Reagan delivered on his promise to balance the budget?

Did you read that on Conservapedia?

I don't think racketing up defense and social security spending got us out of an economic crisis, same as I don't think Obama racketing up spending is getting us out of this economic crisis.


Gov't has little to do with it although they do have an impact, our economic fate is mostly in the hands of the feds.

Obama had true control of congress from 7/7/2009 until 2/4/2010- just averted a DEPRESSION and got the country growing again. Since then, it's been the Pub Congress disfunction economy. Still, he did enough...Now, prepare to eat shytte and die, lying cheating Pubs and silly dupes...LOL

 

[Stephanie]

Why do Democrats put their love of Obama over their country?

It's a cult like nothing I have ever seen..

and scary..

 

[francoHFW]

The only people chosing party over country are the Pubs. "No compromise, un-American" (TIME) GOP. They can't screw up the economy with disfunction again- only the total dupes didn't see that...His approval has gone up 8 pts and handling of the economy 14 pts in just the last 2 months, and the dupes now no longer care about beating Obama, going Santorum- CBS poll today. SEE YA! LOL!!
