How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

Name one thing the government does better than the private sector and I'll show you something that requires the use of force to accomplish.
Yep, the worst President ever

Want to hear something scary? Yesterday at lunch I saw a woman who looked exactly like Jimmah. Poor dear.

Ronnie promised the moon while sitting on a desk representative of the oval office. The truth was there just no one heard the little voice that spoke. Set this nation on the long downward spiral to oblivion. Lost ethics, lost American principles, lost compassion. Adios MF USA.
A chance for a new beginning, like a dawn of reconciliation.
Forget the red-vs.-blue histronics and try looking at history. There are American presidents who were far worse than anyone in the last 50 years. Even Nixon.

Having lived through those times I marvel at the misinformation the wingnut corporate tools present as history today. Carter inherited a mess, does anyone ask why Ford lost to a farmer from Georgia? That in itself should be telling. But the revisionist history of pointing fingers at the other guy, and not at one's party, is art form today. Read a bit and learn.

Does this sound familiar or what - we never learn it seems. Carter faced this on a larger scale.
"Factors beyond Nixon's control undermined his economic policies. In 1973 the war between Israel, Egypt and Syria prompted Saudi Arabia to impose an embargo on oil shipped to Israel's ally, the United States. Other member nations of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) quadrupled their prices. Americans faced both shortages and rapidly rising prices. Even when the embargo ended the next year, prices remained high. Higher energy prices affected all areas of American economic life: in 1974 inflation reached 12 percent, causing disruptions that led to even higher unemployment rates. This era of recession and inflation ("stagflation") brought an end to the unprecedented economic boom America had enjoyed since 1948."

I still rate Reagan (in modern times) as the worst president until Bush junior. We started to forget about all the citizens and we became a social/economic darwinist nation. Reagan may have realized his mistakes but what he did by allowing the market rather than the people control has stagnated wages for working people all these years with only a slight increase under Clinton. Think only of minimum wage and you quickly see republicans care not for America but for money.
