  1. Who would not have moved if their boss had not said so. Also, from what I hear, the boys at Ft. Campbell helped out quite a bit. Just throwing something in for the Army.

    Mav, I was loyal to Bush, regardless of what I thought of his policies. The President is the.....well you know all that.

    Obama gets credit for giving the order to strike.

    Are you serious? Reagan was seen as a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody took that guy seriously. He was a f*cking actor that was president of SAG before being governor of CA. A f*cking actor!!!! Go back and read the NYT editorials from 1979 and 1980. People were laughing at Reagan. Nobody took him seriously until after the fact. Just as no one on the right took this hillbilly from Arkansas who had a reputation for woman chasing seriuosly. Nobody on the right saw Clinton as a threat.

    You think Carter's energy policies were the problem? Hahahaha. OMG.

  4. Reagan was once seen as a joke but in 1979 he was not.

    Reagan established himself as a strong conservative and won the support of many conservative groups.He was a popular republican governor in a large democratic state.He won the primaries in large states like Texas and California in his first presidential run.He had very good debating skills and was very likable as a person,he had huge name recognition.Reagan also had united republican support unlike todays GOP candidates.

    Keep running around the issue. You must be really pissed because you know the jobs are not coming back. And without those jobs, Obama is toast.

  8. Considering I was alive and able to vote in 1985. Yes, Reagan was a joke. The GOP was derided as picking an actor for their nominee. When he won, the mainstream GOP did not take him seriously, as he was an actor, and did not have the right blood lines. Look it up, it is all there. Reaganomics was a joke. Reagan, like Clinton, was not recognized until well after he left office.

    You want popular proof?

    Don Henley( Eagles) wrote a song called End of the Innocence. Listen carefully young padawan. I will not condescend to post the lyrics,but it is only one line. You will get it. Reagan was a hated man when he was in office.

  9. I'm not pissed at all,I believe unemployment will be around 9 % at election time

    We don't have those jobs now and Obama support stays at 45 % approval , 70-80 % favorability,and 60 % odds at re election so there is no reason to think 9% unemployment makes him toast

    Keep telling that to yourself huckleberry. Whatever gets you through the day. I've never seen approval ratings hold any significant correlation to elections.
