Rich,
So how does this possibly compare to Barry? Ronald Regan was a Prsident who put the interests of the country always first. He was a true Patriot and the outflowing of patriotism at his funeral was a true testament of that. He also was fighting against the current his entire Presidency with the liberal media attacking him constantly in an effort to color public opinion against him. If Reagan had the same type of media support as Barry does his poll numbers would have averaged in the 70's.

Barry is a facist hack who is putting the interests of his special interests in front of the good of the country. When he leaves office there will be ticker tape parades. I can not remember any President in modern history who has stirred up the passions of the silent majority like Barry has. People thought he would be a post racial pragmatic President but since the affair with the Harvard police officer many have realized it is the same as if we had elected Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. They are the ones who keep seeing everything as racist while the majority of Americans are trying hard to not be. We now have a President that has embraced facist policies like taking control of businesses, dictating executive compensation and bonuses, informing on other Americans, deciding who gets to use health care resources or in other words deciding who ultimately lives and dies. Democratic hacks are out there complaining that a few Americans are holding up signs with Barry wearing a Hitler mustache. Where were they when President Bush was being attacked by the left as being Hitler like? Barry is far more like Hitler than any President in modern history.

No I think if you want to make a comparison for Barry you need to look at the Presidency of Jimmy Carter. That is how your boy is going to end up but with even lower ratings. That is really tough to do when the vast majority of the media is doing their ultimate best to hold the poll numbers up by being useful idiots.

If you'll notice - the poll action is as I said it was. Notice how Democrats tend to do better than Republicans in the polls? That is because they ARE better.

Reagan had a mixed legacy - including some very important accomplishments. Hopefully, Obama will do as well, without tripling the national debt in his first term or cutting and running if, God forbid, US servicemen get bombed.
