How Obamas economic recovery stacks up against Reagans

[Caroljo]

Unlike Reagan, Obama was not expected to cut Government Spending and balanace the budget while attemting to revive the economy

Of course, Reagan also had a Congress that was not trying to cut his legs out from him

What did Obama do the first 2 years when he had a Democrat controlled congress? Why didn't he do anything then?

obama had a dem majority for two years

in reality, you simply cannot compare the two....the economies were very different

trying to equate the two is nothing but political partisanship

Thanks for bringing that up

Reagan did not have to deal with a Senate that filibustered EVERY bill

Doesn't there actually have to be a recovery happening in order for you to give your moonbat messiah credit for one?

Um... yeah.
By any -objective- quantifier, Jan 1981 -> Aug 1985 was a better economic time than Jan 2009 -> Aug 2013.

Here's a quick one:

GDP growth - First 4 years 6 months
Reagan:*
3,131.80 to 4,394.60 = +40.32%
Obama:
14,342.10 to 16,633.40 = +15.98%
* This includes the 81/82 recession, where GDP -fell-

An effective leader is able to work in a bipartisan fashion and not hide behind a filibuster proof Senate.

That, and opposing The Obama's agenda is for the betterment of the country.

That's essentially a fallacy.

Clinton had the very same problem.

There's no way to work with people who's main objective is to destroy you personally.

A statement that you know you have no hope of soundly supporting.

And yet, Clinton, by every standard you liberal loons care to offer, was a resounding success.

Your partisan bigotry makes it impossible for you to consider that the opposition to The Obama's agenda was that His agenda would no more harm than good.

Even a bed wetter such as yourself should be able to see there is at least SOME recovery happening.

I mean you may not feel it as you haven't received that promotion to cashier that you were promised, but I can assure you that for those of us with some actual skills, there is very much a recovery happening.

Yessirrreee bob....all those part time jobs are swell.

 

[Antares]

What an idiotic thread.... there is no recovery, more Americans toady have flatly given up on full-time work, we have record debt.....

Yeah, great job Barry! 7.9% unemployment.. the new normal in moonbat utopia.

Reagan also had interest rates three times higher and much higher inflation
He also can't match doubling the Stock Market

Stupid fuck, he didn't create 85 Billion a month to keep the Market going either, did he?

God you are an idiot.
