Explaining The Failure

[Bush92]

He was successful in doubling the national debt in 8 years. In fairness, we must give credit where it is due.

So did Reagan, and other presidents...

Comparing Obama and Reagan is like comparing apples and aardvarks.

1. Reagan purchased a victory over the Soviet Union...



2. And this:
1. Under Reagan, the debt went up $1.7 trillion, from $900 billion to $2.6 trillion.
2. But….the national wealth went up $ 17 trillion
3. Reagan's near-trillion-dollar bulge in defense spending transformed the global balance of power in favor of capitalism. Spurring a stock-market, energy, venture-capital, real-estate and employment boom, the Reagan tax-rate cuts and other pro-enterprise policies added some $17 trillion to America's private-sector assets, dwarfing the trillion-dollar rise in public-sector deficits and creating 45 million net new jobs at rising wages and salaries.

Try not to sound so ignorant in the New Year.

So what you are trying to say is, that Reagan not only doubled the debt, he trebled it..Ok thanks for the 411...

Gads, you're a fool

At the point where Reagan took over, everyone imagined that the Soviet Union was unstoppable, their world domination was inevitable.

Reagan beat them without firing a shot and also left office with this gift for America: a golden age of economic benefits for every American.

Indeed. Communism does not produce "capital" ...capitalism produces "capital" and that is the military spending that was required to win the Cold War. Reagan understood this. Democrats thought to East, West order of geo politics was infinite. Reagan understood communism days were numbered.

As the saying goes, if Reagan could walk on water, you'd carp about his being unable to swim.

"Reagan was made from far sterner stuff than was his Soviet counterpart. His genial grin and wise-cracking demeanor concealed a spine of steel when push came to shove. Yet at their next meeting in Reykjavik in 1986, where Gorbachev would not budge on the "Star Wars" question, Reagan was decisive and unforgiving. He recalls in An American Life how he stood up from the table to proclaim that the meeting was over. Then he turned to his Secretary of State: "Let's go, George. We're leaving."

Like any good diplomat, Shultz was crushed by so much roughness, but Reagan was completely unfazed. Later on, he explained: "I went to Reykjavik determined that everything was negotiable except two things, our freedom and our future."

Reagan never ran from shit. He was my CommanderinChief when I was wearing one of my uniforms. Served two branches. First under Reagan. Joined when 17 to do my patriotic chore to stop global spread of communism. Helped stop it again this past November when I voted DJT over the criminal Billary machine.

Reagan won the Cold War. Obama is not strong enough to pull a sick whore off a toilet.

How could have Reagan won the cold war? The USSR did not go down until 1991...

You're unable to recognize the provenance of the Reagan victory over the USSR??

Really?

Well...then you'll certainly never comprehend how FDR was the cause of the Mortgage Meltdown, will you.

"The Legacy of Ronald Reagan – Peace

Charles R. Smith
Thursday, June 10, 2004

The 1980s were a dangerous time for the world. The Soviet Union stood at the peak of its military and political power, its nuclear forces ranged from pole to pole. The globe stood at the brink of World War III, with a final countdown of 25 minutes from launch to total thermonuclear combat.

The Soviet Union led the world with an extraordinary increase in nuclear and conventional arms. The Soviet Union had 4.9 million active soldiers, 42,000 tanks, 2,200 warships, 15,000 combat planes, 1,500 long-range nuclear-tipped missiles, 1,000 short-range nuclear missiles and 900 sub-based nuclear missiles.

Soviet bombers equipped with nuclear weapons frequently flew off the U.S. coast. Soviet submarines armed with nuclear-tipped missiles prowled off both U.S. coastlines, within 100 miles of the most populated coastal American cities.

In Europe, the Soviets had 10 tank divisions in East Germany alone, backed by another 20 tank divisions poised across the border in Poland and Russia. Thousands of armored vehicles were ready to pour across the Fulda Gap and flow into West Germany.

During one Soviet armored exercise in East Germany, an Army general once commented to me that he could walk from the East German border to Poland on Soviet tanks, never touching the earth beneath them.

All evidence pointed to the Soviet intent to achieve total world domination in every dimension of military power."

Russia was a paper tiger, as exposed in the Soviet's invasion of Afghanistan...

Gads, you're a moron.

The most dangerous and feared weapon deployed by the Soviets was the dreaded SS-20 Saber. The SS-20 was a first-strike weapon of unmatched power, designed to start and win a nuclear war.
Between 1977 and 1987, the Soviet Union deployed 654 Saber missiles and 509 launchers in 48 Strategic Rocket Forces regiments. The SS-20 was a modern intermediate-range missile, with a solid-rocket motor, inertial guidance and three independently targeted re-entry vehicles.
The missile had the capability of delivering three nuclear warheads of up to 250 kilotons each. The Saber was also mobile, carried by a large 12-wheeled truck that functioned as a missile transporter, erector and launcher.
The SS-20 could deliver its deadly nuclear payload in less than nine minutes from launch to impact. The SS-20 was designed from the outset not to be under any arms limitation treaty. Its maximum range of 3,000 miles ruled out any attack on U.S. territory but it was never designed to strike America, just win a nuclear war in Europe.
Because the Saber was considered an intermediate-range weapon and not a strategic missile, the SS-20 deployments threatened to change the nuclear balance of power in Europe. Moscow held the SS-20 as a sword to intimidate and, if necessary, annihilate any opposition in Europe. The SS-20 was the sword by which the Kremlin would finally defeat NATO.

yet, people bitched when Oblama did it...Hypocrites....I declare...

 

[PoliticalChic]

Seems you don't care to discuss the man you support on a regular basis, the snake in the White House.....

...his total failure as a President.


9. "To this day, he still has no ear for the topic. Precisely how might he have brought down unemployment? How was he going to lift wages? There is no control room in Washington, D.C., that you can enter and turn some dial to lower unemployment and boost wages. .... The relation between cause and effect in economics continues to elude him.

It's amazing that he would have to "remind" himself that no one can redesign an economy.... the government cannot create outcomes; it can only hinder them.
[Obama] was a victim of a system of education that suppressed the great truths about economics.



10. Despite his vast knowledge on seemingly everything, and endless amounts of charm to sell himself to the public, he missed the one crucial thing. He never understood wealth is not a given; it must be created through enterprise and innovation, trade and experimentation, by real people who need the freedom to try, unencumbered by a regulatory and confiscatory state.

This doesn’t happen just because there is a nice and popular guy in the White House. It happens because the institutions are right. That most simple lesson eluded him. Had it not, he might have turned failure to success.

Instead of imposing vast new regulations, passing the worst health care reform in American history, saddling industry with endless burdens, he might have gone the other direction.
And so he leaves office, confused about what went wrong, worried about his legacy, alarmed at the destruction of his party, and fearful about the forces of reaction that his health care reform and persistent economic stagnation have unleashed. " Why Obama Failed | Jeffrey A. Tucker


His departure cannot come a moment too soon.

 

[Bush92]

Seems you don't care to discuss the man you support on a regular basis, the snake in the White House.....

...his total failure as a President.


9. "To this day, he still has no ear for the topic. Precisely how might he have brought down unemployment? How was he going to lift wages? There is no control room in Washington, D.C., that you can enter and turn some dial to lower unemployment and boost wages. .... The relation between cause and effect in economics continues to elude him.

It's amazing that he would have to "remind" himself that no one can redesign an economy.... the government cannot create outcomes; it can only hinder them.
[Obama] was a victim of a system of education that suppressed the great truths about economics.



10. Despite his vast knowledge on seemingly everything, and endless amounts of charm to sell himself to the public, he missed the one crucial thing. He never understood wealth is not a given; it must be created through enterprise and innovation, trade and experimentation, by real people who need the freedom to try, unencumbered by a regulatory and confiscatory state.

His departure cannot come a moment too soon.

Obama's foreign policy can be described as follows:
P-pacify the pro America crowd.
U- utterly useless.
S- sissified when it comes to Fundementalist Islamic Terrorrism.
S- Syria...draw a red line...then back down.
Y- you guessed it...turn PC police loose on the military.

So what you are trying to say is, that Reagan not only doubled the debt, he trebled it..Ok thanks for the 411...

Gads, you're a fool

At the point where Reagan took over, everyone imagined that the Soviet Union was unstoppable, their world domination was inevitable.

Reagan beat them without firing a shot and also left office with this gift for America: a golden age of economic benefits for every American.

He sure did, he was too busy tucking and running..

As the saying goes, if Reagan could walk on water, you'd carp about his being unable to swim.


Imagine how you'd crow if the snake in the White House had Reagan's record of accomplishments.

Like dealing with Iran, the Contra, yes, such a legacy..
Loosing at Lebanon
Giving amnesty to illegals, millions of them...Such border control? No?
Tax increases to the poor, tax cuts for the rich...Yeah, what a guy...
Closed US bases, while maintaining overseas...Money well spent supporting foreign communities...
Drug War casualties include former right to privacy issues and violation of do process for confiscating property..

Such a legacy....

"Like dealing with Iran, the Contra, yes, such a legacy..."


Let's not forget that the issue was about the Democrat love of communism....

The Democrat Congress was strongly in favor of the communists of Nicaragua, and the scandal was an attempt to tie the hands of the President, who was strongly anti-communist. And, congressional attempts to conduct foreign policy were, at the very least, constitutionally dubious. Reagan often complained that it was not possible to carry out foreign policy with 535 secretaries of state in Congress.

There is a bear in the woods...Democrats forgot that...

Reagan won the Cold War. Obama is not strong enough to pull a sick whore off a toilet.

How could have Reagan won the cold war? The USSR did not go down until 1991...

You're unable to recognize the provenance of the Reagan victory over the USSR??

Really?

Well...then you'll certainly never comprehend how FDR was the cause of the Mortgage Meltdown, will you.

I bet with an Ivy League education you can find all kinds of 6th sense correlations for anything...

It seems you need a reminder:

"The Legacy of Ronald Reagan – Peace

Charles R. Smith
Thursday, June 10, 2004

The 1980s were a dangerous time for the world. The Soviet Union stood at the peak of its military and political power, its nuclear forces ranged from pole to pole. The globe stood at the brink of World War III, with a final countdown of 25 minutes from launch to total thermonuclear combat.

The Soviet Union led the world with an extraordinary increase in nuclear and conventional arms. The Soviet Union had 4.9 million active soldiers, 42,000 tanks, 2,200 warships, 15,000 combat planes, 1,500 long-range nuclear-tipped missiles, 1,000 short-range nuclear missiles and 900 sub-based nuclear missiles.

Soviet bombers equipped with nuclear weapons frequently flew off the U.S. coast. Soviet submarines armed with nuclear-tipped missiles prowled off both U.S. coastlines, within 100 miles of the most populated coastal American cities.

In Europe, the Soviets had 10 tank divisions in East Germany alone, backed by another 20 tank divisions poised across the border in Poland and Russia. Thousands of armored vehicles were ready to pour across the Fulda Gap and flow into West Germany.

During one Soviet armored exercise in East Germany, an Army general once commented to me that he could walk from the East German border to Poland on Soviet tanks, never touching the earth beneath them.

All evidence pointed to the Soviet intent to achieve total world domination in every dimension of military power."

Russia was a paper tiger, as exposed in the Soviet's invasion of Afghanistan...

Paper tiger with 30,000 nukes pointed at us. Yeah. Sure thing hot shot.

And what is the use if a nuke is used? You damn sure don't want your military to advance into ground zero..

He was successful in doubling the national debt in 8 years. In fairness, we must give credit where it is due.

So did Reagan, and other presidents...

Comparing Obama and Reagan is like comparing apples and aardvarks.

1. Reagan purchased a victory over the Soviet Union...



2. And this:
1. Under Reagan, the debt went up $1.7 trillion, from $900 billion to $2.6 trillion.
2. But….the national wealth went up $ 17 trillion
3. Reagan's near-trillion-dollar bulge in defense spending transformed the global balance of power in favor of capitalism. Spurring a stock-market, energy, venture-capital, real-estate and employment boom, the Reagan tax-rate cuts and other pro-enterprise policies added some $17 trillion to America's private-sector assets, dwarfing the trillion-dollar rise in public-sector deficits and creating 45 million net new jobs at rising wages and salaries.

Try not to sound so ignorant in the New Year.

Reagan won the Cold War for that investment...Obama just gave us nothing....

 

[Bush92]

And the US response was the MX missile system...Duh!

Reagan had the vision to defeat communism. He did just that. Walter Mondale sure as the hell did not. Tip O'Neil sure as hell didn't either. He helped cut funds to South Vietnamease military in 1974.
