    Reagan: 1) slashed inflation, 2) cut unemployment, and 3) reduced interest rates.

    Business boomed in the 80's.

    I'm sorry if this doesn't mesh with your socialist view of the world, comrade.

    Obama has lied to the Nation about Fast & Furious, IRS Targeting, Benghazi massacre, NSA spying, ACA, and the list goes on. Own it, it's all been proven.

    We've seen how awesome things were under the guy who voted 'present' for a living. How much worse could Trump really be? At least Trump knows what risk is, he understands there are consequences for failure. Judging on just campaign promises, Trump has done more on that account in a less than a year than Obama did in eight!

    Once again for the intellectually impotent. The post you referred to is in continuance/conjunction with previous posts and threads. If you don't want to verify what I'm saying by just mouse clicking the little numbers on the bottom left, then I'd say we're done here.

    FYI:

    Q: How many times did Obama vote 'present' as a state senator?

    A: He did so 129 times, which represents a little more than 3 percent of his total votes.

    As for a reality check on Trumps "achievements" to date:


    Donald Trump's boasts about accomplishments in office ring hollow

    See, when you regurgitate half baked talking points that LOST the GOP 2 elections, you make is SO easy to display the sheer BS that is Trump.

    I didn't vote for Hillary....never did, and I'm a New Yorker.

    The only thing going downhill is Trump's credibility as Presidential material.

    yeah, but what has been proposed thus far ain't looking good for the average American.

    Yep, as I expected...a BS excuse instead of just conceding a simple point. I'm done with this joker.

    And as the reader can see, once one failed new conservative/tea party talking point was dismantled, GC17 just skips the plethora of others that essentially lost the GOP two elections to Obama. I can offer facts and documentation, GC17 offers half truths and speculations. And the beat goes on.

    The thing is we just finished 8 years of incompetent Presidency, now we are looking at at least 4 years of it. Normally, after a democrat, we have a Republican President who fixes things. This time we have an incompetent fool who doesn't have the self-discipline to shut up sometimes. If he would shut up occasionally, things like the Comey situation wouldn't have blown up in his face.

    Trump wasnt elected because hes an eloquent speaker. He was elected because he says what most of us are thinking. Do you deny there is massive corruption in DC? Which of these targeted issues would you rather Trump ignore?

    All one has to do is follow the chronology of the posts to see what I'm saying is true

    GMAFB! a rehash of reaganomics is NOT going to save this country from another depression. Right wing denial of the Obama administration's successes against terrorism is pathetic. And since when does the Patriot Act honor your Constitutional Rights? And who deported more illegal aliens in the last 8 years than the Shrub?

    It's absurd people think those without any political skills can run a country. Do they not know anything about politics? A president is not a CEO that can just bark orders and rule like a dictator. It requires an incredible skill to be very measured in your responses, think through what you say to avoid opponents completely spinning it or using sound bytes, you have to be able to work both sides, you have to look after all Americans, not just the 25% of the country that voted for you.

    And who thinks just becauswe someone is rich, that means they are good? Trumps entire business history is rife with sketchiness, gaming the system, to make money. And all he did was buy and sell property.He didn't create anything but a brand name. What makes anybody think just being a CEO means you can run a country? ANd who thinks billionaires is going to work for the working man, because they say so? A country is not a company, nor should it be run like one. Look at Illinois, what a disaster electing a rich governor ex CEO with no political experience and can't get his anti-union legislation passed in democrate state senate so he's holding the budget hostage for 2 year snow

    Obama was criticized by liberals for pandering too much to republicans and moving center. Of course, the hacks that do nothing but watch fox news propaganda will lie and claim he was so liberal and forced everything down our throats (meanwhile, look at republicans secretly trying to repeal Obamacare without anybody seeing it and no democrat input, meanwhile republicans had their say in AIA).

    Yeah, if he was so liberal, why were liberals unhappy with some of the things he did? No single payer in healthcare was because of republicans and trying to work with them.

    I know, its pointless to speak facts when you will just have some angry mouthbreather come in and yell "obama's a leftist poopyhead"

    Im sure you know Obamas deportation statistics are skewed because his administration changed the definition of 'deportation', right? Your hero had no successes... it was all smoke and mirrors. He'll go down in history as the worst president ever once all his crimes are uncovered.
