Funny how things change and come back again.

Listen to Ronald Regan's inauguration speech from 1981, and see how many things are still the same, or have came back around again. Im not wanting to discuss Ronald himself, or anything he did, but listen to the things a president 33 years ago was facing.

And how much did he actually not do that he promised... I voted for him the first time... but he was horrible at living up to campaign promises.

Saint Ronald failed miserably and would have a snow balls chance in hell of being elected in todays GOP.

Well now your perception does seem a bit flawed if you will not look at the ACTUAL record and the reality of what is occurring today since you DID name the thread Funny how things change and come back again.

I am talking about the things he was facing, sounds still familiar to what we are facing, I dont understand why you always have to pick fights. You want me to compare then and now, here is some fun data, and thats all im gonna say about Ronald VS etc.

The following comes from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Census Bureau, the Treasury Dept, and US Inflation Calculator. The comparison is for the first four budget years (Oct-Sept) of each President.

The average Dow gain per year: Reagan, 11.81%; Obama, 11.72%

The average Unemployment Rate: Reagan, 8.58%; Obama, 8.69%

The average jobs (thousands) created per year: Reagan, 1638; Obama, 1645

Poverty Rate (3 years only): Reagan, from 14% - 14.4%; Obama, from 14.3% - 15%

By these measures, both Presidents are remarkably similar.

So cherry picking some things is ok.... Got it.

You left out dealing with terrorists and a few other salient items like coming out of very challenging economic times.

But there are more things that are VASTLY different.. that I will not bring up since you know they are unflattering to Saint Ronald.

Sorry, gotta jump in on that one... It's a pet peeve. There is nothing the Pres can do to "create" jobs... The most they can do is move them around from one sector to another.

fair enough, I grabbed that data, the phrasing is not mine.

Not sure how that is a surprise.

That which motivates people to vote for you doesn't change much over time.

exactly - the surprising part is that people are arguing "no, they really are different" and taking such amazing exception to the comparisons, drowning in the Kool Aid

the surprising part is not recognizing certain facts:
1 - that people are pretty similar, and
2 - politicians are the same and
3 - the whole party line stuff is a joke and an act and a huge waste of energy - (represented by just about any thread in this forum for sure - yet despite that, I continue to contribute just to pass some time anyway, so there you have it)
