Ronald Reagan vs George W. Bush


Who was the better president?

reply

Both were terrible. Reagan was a better cheerleader for the Nation at the time...but basically committed high treason with the Iran Contra scandal. Thanks Ollie North!

GHWB started a war he needed his son to finish, and couldn't even beat out Saxaphone Bill.

In a now famous interview with the Iraqi leader, U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie told Saddam, ‘[W]e have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait.’ The U.S. State Department had earlier told Saddam that Washington had ‘no special defense or security commitments to Kuwait.’ The United States may not have intended to give Iraq a green light, but that is effectively what it did.”

So, THe US bears responsibility for the actions of an Arab, not the arab himself, because we did NOT tell him to NOT do what he wanted to do?

mmm, just to cover my ass Chili, DON'T BEAT YOUR WIFE OR CHILDREN TODAY.

That was close. I would hate to be held responsible for your actions because I didn't tell you to not do something.


Meanwhile back inn the real world, The Blame America First crowd will always find a way to blame America, no matter how little sense it makes.

But basically he didn’t. Any questions?

Reagan, hands down.

The Bushes are a good example of the old, corrupt establishment that gives nary a rat's ass about the people they supposedly represent. Although I will say Jeb was a great governor for Florida.
