Actually, I'm not disputing Reagans ability to serve nor am I saying Obama is fully qualified, yet... I just find the similiarities in economic conditions at the time of their election interesting. Recessions are cyclatory in nature, when this one is done, we will see another in time.

It was the sudden economic downturn that got Obama elected, that more than any other single factor. A classic knee jerk reaction by the voters, history shows it over and over. While it does matter HOW we got in this mess, regardless of "how", the current party in power WILL always pay the price, no matter who they are. "Timing" might have saved Reagans butt, as much as anything else. "Timing" is on Obama's side as well, good or bad, that's just the way it is.

Do you mean the very JUNIOR, part time Senator BHO? The one that barely knew how to vote anything but 'present'. That bareassed meaningless rookie. Is that who you mean?
