Regan / Obama Comparison: Interesting - Reagan would be 105 today

Reagan created the modern plutocracy

REAGAN CUT AND RUN, OBAMA DIDN'T COWER
Remember when the GOP loved to say "cut and run" as an excuse to keep our troops in Iraq forever? Even after they said "Mission Accomplished"?  But who invented cut and run?  
The Gipper.

OBAMA KILLED TERRORISTS, REAGAN GAVE THEM WEAPONS

AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS:
This drives the GOP NUTS when I point this out.  Who knew?  

REAGAN:  

I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and lived here even though sometime back they may have entered illegally.
-Ronald Reagan 10/28/1984

DEFICIT SPENDING
REAGAN:  
Whether you are looking at the economic policies of Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush, reining in the deficit was clearly of no concern. Reagan tripled the Gross Federal Debt, from $900 billion to $2.7 trillion
ABORTION
REAGAN:
Stauchly forced-birth.  Yet wingnuts never talk about his policies as governor.  Reagan signed the "Therapeutic Abortion Act" only six months as California governor. There were 518 legal abortions in California in 1967, and the number of abortions would soar to an annual average of 100,000 in the remaining years of Reagan’s two terms.  This was more abortions than in any U.S. state prior to the advent of Roe v. Wade.  Just sayin'

GUN CONTROL
(I give Reagan props for this, even though it was only because he got shot.  But like his abortion law, conservatives sweep this under the rug:)

REAGAN:

COMPLETELY supported the Brady Bill, the holy grail of gun control.  Reagan even wrote an op-ed piece for it in the evil NY Times.

Challenge a conservative to disprove anything I mentioned here.  I supported it with the facts.  Just be prepared for all kinds of name-calling.

And just to turn the screws... presidential scholars think Obama outranks Reagan as president.  So in a few years I expect to be flying into Obama National in DC!  Oh, it is going to happen.

Happy birthday Wingnuts!
