Youre a joke. Bin laden was a nobody. We armed the Mujahedin who drove out the Soviets. Tax Hiikes? give me a break LOL.. you're such a blatant idiot tax reform boy, cut loopholes get it? where do you people come from? willful ignorance is a terrible thingOdumbo is NO REAGAN..Not by any means so to bring Reagan up just makes you look stupid. I can understand Bush being they're two peas in a pod.. you're a kook.19%Youre assuming he'll allow another election.Looks like Obama's re-election chances are pretty shitty.
But the point of low approval ratings for the brain dead isnt to judge election chances. It's a measure of how much power he has politically. ANd it aint much at this point.

Reagan was a fuck-up!
He armed a young Osama bin Laden. He watched as 244 Marines were blown to pieces in the first terrorist suicide bombing and did nothing. He watched as terrorists cut their teeth attacking Americans in the air and on the ground, not to mention the seas.
All the while Reagan was responsible for the biggest tax-hike in American history. Reagan left an enormous debt that we are still reeling from today.
Can you say Iran-Contra?
Fuck Reagan!
Ronald Reagan may have presided over the most significant tax reform effort in our nation’s history, yet historical revisionists are attempting to besmirch that legacy — while using him as a straw man against modern Republicans.
Saying Ronald Reagan raised taxes is like saying Michael Jordan was a guy who struck out a lot — or that he was a failed baseball player: It’s factually correct, but misleading, nonetheless.
I’ve decided to examine Reagan’s tax cuts and tax increases in order to set the record straight and end this tomfoolery.
Over the course of his two terms in office, Reagan presided over several changes to the tax code. What is important to remember — what is vital to understand — is that not all taxes are created equal.
When Democrats or media embrace Reagan for “raising taxes X number of times,” they are usually engaging in willful obfuscation. This is because they know that when most people hear the words, “tax hike,” they naturally assume you mean raising income taxes. But tax rates (both nominal and effective) dropped dramatically across-the-board during Reagan’s tenure.
Not only did the top individual income tax rate go from 70 to 28 percent! — but the tax code was also indexed for inflation (this is a big deal, because inflation had heretofore pushed people into higher tax brackets — a double whammy.)
And many of Reagan’s so-called “tax increases” were actually examples of ending deductions
