He holds a Public Servant Office nothing more and just like any other Office holder the title comes with the territory but holding that title and earning the honor and respect of that title is a different story.
Unlike you, with that Obama, Democrat Socialist Party, Union Slavery nose ring firmly in place I’m my own man. No man is better that I am, I am equal to or better than, never less, I set the standard for whom I respect and admire, in my world you earn the right to be my friend, with that comes dedication, earn the right to hold titles and with that comes support and respect and you earn respect, honor … nothing worth anything if it is just given ... Obama has earned nothing, does not represent any aspect of my value, morals, standard and patriotism …. Not my President .... just a Public Servant at best -

People like you who question their self worth, self esteem and value as an individual, I welcome people who are better that me, those people make me better. I'm not intimidate by anyone but you are. I believe in myself and my believe in God gives me strength to over come.

Of course, that is what happens in a free republic when it is led by those who defend individual liberty and understand that free markets are the greatest solution to the human condition.

While it is true that America enjoyed sustained economic expansion after WWII, that ended rather abruptly in the mid-70's with back-to-back steep recessions fueled by inflation, stagnation, and an artificial fuel "crisis".dwccrew;1556112 wrote:Ummm, that was not under Reagan's presidency.

The greatest sustained burst of peacetime economic expansion is arguably the period from the early 1980's through the early 1990's fueled by gubmint deregulation and tax cuts under President Reagan. While we are currently enduring the Great Recession, many labeled the Reagan years as the Great Expansion. -
Manhattan Buckeye^^^
This is correct, but I also think Clinton deserves some credit. In 2013 he would be considered a Republican, and although he talks up the Democrat party he is a DINO (Democrat in name only) - it is his wife that this the nutty one, and he reeled here in during his Presidency. The '01 - '03 recession wasn't good but we recovered well until the '07 credit crash and the '08 stock market crash. Other than the market recovering (due to Bernanke's policies - we'll see what happens there) there hasn't been any semblance of economic recovery. Under the Obama administration we're mortgaging our future for short-term benefits and promises without developing a base to fund these promises. -

I did. It sucked. Most of my early childhood involved my father cutting as many coupons as he could, driving 10 year old vw bugs (I will never drive a Volkswagen.), and many meals of vienna sausages and bologna....which I will never eat again. The Carter years were awful. Today isn't so bad because our technological advances have made hunger a non-issue (if anything we're too fat). However, our young people are seeing a future where they may never have any type of career.HitsRus;1556259 wrote:Obama vs. Reagan.... and it's not even close

isadoreWhat about the 4 American killed at the Benghazi attack, what a failure intelligence and security, Reagan would never do that
But gosh
Beirut, Lebanon
April, 1983
17 Americans among the 63 killed in bombing of US embassy bombing
October, 1983
220 Marines, 18 sailors, 3 soldiers among the 299 people killed in a Beirut barracks
The sentries at the gate were operating under
rules of engagement which made it very difficult to respond quickly to the truck. Sentries were ordered to keep their weapons at condition four (no magazine inserted and no rounds in the chamber).

And that Obama and our national debt, ronnie wouldn’t do that
But gosh he tripled it.
national debt rose from $900 billion to $2.8 trillion during Reagan's tenure

Actually, after a quick bit of research, I think we are both incorrect. I believe the Gilded age (1880-1910) was the greatest economic periods and growth in US history. When the titans like Rockefellar, Carnegie and Morgan put the US on the map as an economic power. JMO, I am sure one could argue any of the three periods, but this is what I believe. -

Take a look, since the 70s, when the democrats control Congress, the debt/GDP ratio goes up. When the republicans control Congress, it goes down.

Then what do we see. Fall under Ike, fall under JFK and LBJ, Fall under Nixon, Rise under Ford, Fall under Carter, Precipitous rise under Reagan and Bush, Fall under Clinton, Precipitous rise under Bush, rise under Obama
And now for your civic lesson. Presidents with their Office of Management and Budget draw up the Federal Budget, then Congress can make changes in it that are then sent to the President in a series of appropriation bills. Then President can then veto any of those appropriation bills of which he disapproves.
Congress can then try to override the veto. All these Presidents had veto
Reagan for example had 17 vetoes
4 overridden. Only one of those bills were appropriations bill. He went with all the rest of that spending that gave us that tripling of the debts. No where he was overridden more often in his efforts to protect racism here and in South Africa.
July 8, 1982: Vetoed H.R. 6198, A bill to amend the manufacturing clause of the copyright law. Overridden by House, 324-86 (274 needed). Overridden by Senate, 84-9 (62 needed), and enacted as Pub.L. 97–215 over President's veto.
August 28, 1982: Vetoed H.R. 6863, Supplemental Appopriations Act, 1982. Overridden by House, 301-117 (279 needed). Overridden by Senate, 60-30 (60 needed), and enacted as Pub.L. 97–257 over President's veto
September 26, 1986: Vetoed, H.R. 4868, Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act. Overridden by House, 292-133 (284 needed). Overridden by Senate, 73-24 (65 needed), and enacted as Pub.L. 99–440 over President's veto
March 16, 1988: Vetoed S. 557, Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987. Overridden by House, 313-83 (264 needed). Overridden by Senate, 78-21 (66 needed), and enacted as Pub.L. 100–259 over President's veto.
