This is typical, partisan-biased bullshit. I could make arguments for how terrible a president Clinton was while he snowed the American public. NAFTA, for instance. Short-term boost as production rises and prices fall, triggering consumer-spending. Meanwhile jobs are eliminated by the thousands every single day as factories outsource. Suddenly there is no more money going back into the pockets of the average American. Clinton got lucky that the tech boom and the dot com boom covered his ass, and right after Bush took office, before he passed a single bill even through the House, let alone the Senate, the dot com crash and the tech crash happen, and suddenly every-fucking-one sees the economy is completely unstable and somehow it's all George Whatthefuckjusthappened Bush at fault. Good job on the spin, Demis.

And fuck that analysis. Reagan wasn't great because he cured cancer or led us out of a depression, he was great because he inspired the American people to be proud of being American again, not to mention breaking the back of the Soviet Union. So go fuck yourself and have some respect for the deceased.
