    I’d have to disagree strongly with you on who was the best president of all time.

    FDR wins that title hands-down, and no president since will ever match or beat his record.

    A disabled man brought hope and life back to a financially-destroyed country, created millions of jobs thru many social programs, and then guided us through the worst war in history.

    Reagan is remembered as the guy who declared ketchup as a vegetable for school lunches, and his voodoo economics hurt the country.

    When I watched this speech with my politically-active mother (who is now 80 and still a staunch, active Democrat), I said to her, “This man will be president someday.”

    Like you, GeorgiaKev, little did I realize that it would be just over four years later!

    Go Obama – don’t let the conservatives hold you down, especially the “birthers” who have been raised to not have a brain in their heads.

    I don’t get it. If you dislike Obama so much and think he is a terrible president, why look at videos about him. I think he’s done a very good job promoting the center left policies of the democrats because the people with those views elected him president. I’m not a fan of Ronald Reagan, but I don’t go watching videos of him. Reagan had good people around him and worked well with Democrats in Congress, but his policies didn’t embrace labor groups, the poor whites, blacks, latinos, and AIDS.

    I’m not gonna dis Reagan, but Lincoln was a better president than Reagan. He had policies to end slavery and re-unite this nation after a horrible civil war. The only thing we can agree on is that Reagan and Lincoln were considered good Republicans and great presidents. Reagan did leave a model for other presidents to be fiscally conservative whether they be democrat or republican,but his vision of America didn’t involve every race, culture, socio class like Lincoln.

    Even though I think he’s a ty president, He’s not an illegal imigrant. Born in Hawaii and living in Indonesia as a child does not make one an illegal immigrant. Get your facts straight.

    Its also called the Laffer Curve jag, and we are currently operating below the optimal point on that curve. Reganomics is out of touch with our economic climate today.

    lol. visit the brandeberg gate speech considered the “great communicator”, and best president ever Ronald Regan. Which is the reason your still here today. He disarmed the soviet union and shut them down with the collapse of the berlin wall. Most jobs created with best thriving economy ever…Obama we have tripled the deficit since bush, and socialized big government…this is what you call a president.. There no dignity, honor, and he is un-american. Spending, raising taxes, broken promises

    He makes himselfl look bad, and he is not my president here is an expample of a real president. GOD DO WE NEED HIM NOW!!! The pride we felt as Americans was unmatched, the confidence in his leadership, comforting, and the honor he bestowed upon the oval office, unrivaled. GOD BLESS RONALD REAGAN AND GOD BLESS THE USA!!! Created more jobs than any other sitting president, ended the cold war, collapse of the berline wall… voted best president ever.
    It’s called Reganomics

    Obama can’t speak without teleprompter which is worse than speaking out of context, he is inexperienced and will being this country to its knees. He has already tripled the Bush deficit, is now not going to give the middle class a tax cut. Instead he will raise taxes on everyone and eveything. This is called “big governemnt”, and it has never worked in any country. Government runs our lives, paycheck constitutional rights kind of like commuinism. This pres/congress are corupt.
