    I guess Reagen ending the cold war and tearing down the Belin wall wasn't good for the world.

    So Clinton being the only president to ever be impeached was good in your eyes??? Cheating on your wife is a good thing??? Teaching every kid in the U.S. that oral sex is ok because the pres did it and he was the greatest thing ever. I guess having no morals is just a sign of the times, but not in my house!!!!!!!!!!!

      And let's not forget that Clinton himself recently said on ABC that one of the failures of the Democrats was that they failed to listen to the warnings of the Republicans concerning the risks associated with Fannie and Freddie, after HIS administration further opened up the housing acts started by Johnson, with HUD, and expanded by Carter... which were also reigned in some by Reagan... Only to be busted wide open by Clinton...

      This goes WAY beyond simply 'morals'... it has to do with philosophies and policies that harm the US economy... or have we all forgotten that we were in a downturn for the last 2-years of Clinton's administration, and the first 3 or 4-years were riding the coat-tails of Reagan's policies...

        You all have to remember that the president is only 1/3rd of the equation. Also every thing proposed by our pres has been approved by a democrat controlled congress...........All the money for the war, etc.

          AND... If the Democrats win the Whitehouse... Likey two, and possibly THREE of the Supreme Court Justices will be replaced in the next 4-years... Making what BO said in that 2001 recording even more concerning...

          That would make the Presidency, the Senate, the House, and the Judiciary, all under one big Liberal unbrella...

            First, the GOP had a filibuster proof majority for the first 6.5 years of the Bush Presidency. The Democrats have held a slim majority for the last 1.5 years. In the Senate it is 49-49-1-1 with Lieberman being mostly GOP leaning and Bernie Sanders leaning toward the Democratic side. In the house the Dems do not have a large enough majority to prevent the GOP filibuster from stopping anything they choose to stop.

            So it is amusing to see how the GOP STILL tries to blame the Dems, since they "control" Congress.

            In many respects the GOP is Socialist, they will keep the benefits and spread the blame, but never actually share in it.

            And Reagan was mentioned, people do recall that it was Reagan who started one of the most Socialist programs that we have, the Earned Income Credit. The EIC is DESIGNED to "spread the wealth" and Reagan got it done.

            And as this election nears its end I still wonder what the media coverage would have been if:

            Obama was part of the Keating 5
            Michelle Obama belonged to a seccesionist group
            Biden was found to have used his position unethically
            The DNC spent $150K on clothes for Biden
            Obama divorced his wife to marry a younger rich hottie after wifey #1 got fat
            Obama was next to last in his class at college rather than first
            Obama had been the recipient of government paid health care all his life
            Obama supporters called McCain a terrorist or yelled out to kill him
            Obama had been born in the Canal Zone instead of Hawaii
            Obama had selected Sarah Palin for his VP (or a Democrat identical to her)
            Obama was 72 years old

            I wonder what Sean, and Rush, and Bill-O would say then?? I'm certain that their silence on these things have nothing to do with them being facts about the GOP side of the election versus the Democratic side.
            Don't get me started

              All of these thing HAVE been addressed by the 80% Liberal biased media majority, all to no avail, because they are all non-starters, blown well out of proportion in a vein attempt to try to balance out the associations and actions of Obama... Nice try...

              How much did those Greek Pillars cost, by the way??

              Oh, and you can take that wife thing right off the table... You erased the right to bring that up when you all rallied to Clinton's side and had a cigar in his honor...

              Put all the faith you want in Obama... you are obvious snowed... errr... I mean "sold" on his viability as a President... But what you are getting is someone who has changed his "plan" again and again and again... His "tax raise" for those over $250,000, errr. now it's $200,000.... Ummmm I mean it's $149,000.... is but one example of a "promise" he has made but has no intention of keeping...

              Or have you forgotten how all this started:

                    Let's be accurate here... the EIC was started in 1975 by Carter. It was expanded in 1986 by Reagan, then again in 1990, 1993, and 2001.

                    So if this is already in place... and it's "working" soooo well... How again is BO going to change things???

                    Apparently, he doesn't like the "distribution" of the "redistribution".....

                      SHOULD the U.S. Pull our of CHICAGO???

                      Pull out of Iraq ?

                      Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago …

                      Body count in the last six months:

                      221 killed in Iraq

                      292 killed (murdered) in Chicago

                      Chicago....Who Runs it?

                      Senators: Barack Obama & Dick Durbin

                      Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.

                      Mayor: Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley)


                      Illinois:

                      Governor: Rod Blogojevich

                      House leader: Mike Madigan

                      Attorney General: Lisa Madigan, (daughter of Mike)


                      Leadership in Illinois .....all Democrats.

                      Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago ...

                      Of course, they're all blaming each other!

                      Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

                      State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.

                      Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax - 10.25% highest in country.

                      Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.

                      This is the political culture that Obama comes from, in Illinois .....

                      And he's gonna 'fix' Washington politics for us!
                      Wake Up America !

                                AND... at least there is someone to question and maybe bring a lawsuit against in the RNC case... BOs cases don't even exist... well.... except for the money...
