Obama steered this country through some very tough financial times. His legacy will grow based on economics, healthcare and education.

Reagan gets high marks for foreign policy but other than his rendezvous with the USSR he doesn’t have much.

You actually believe that? Obama's "legacy" is based on one thing and it isn't his handling of the economy (he doubled our national debt, ran up more debt than all other presidents combined). He wrecked the world's best healthcare system and tossed tens of millions of people onto inferior, ruinously expensive health insurance. He presided over serial disasters in Iraq, Libya, Syria and a half dozen other places and handed Iran the keys to the nuclear club, plus a couple of hundred billion in cash (wonder what his cut was?). He treated the Constitution like toilet paper and opened our borders to an invasion of drug smugglers, gang bangers and welfare leeches.

Reagan? All he did was rescue our economy, win the Cold War, dismantle the Soviet Union and restore faith in our country. All against a backdrop of vicious dem/media/celebrity attacks.

"The survey was conducted among 170 current and recent members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association."

Entirely predictable outcome given the sampling population.

The Political Science Department will be located within the College of Liberal Arts at a University. And we know for a fact that Democrats outnumber Republicans by orders of magnitude in the Liberal Arts faculties. In fact, one recent study says that 39 percent of Liberal Arts faculties have no Republican affiliated academics on staff. None.


"Mitchell Langbert, an associate professor of business management at Brooklyn College, reviewed the party affiliations of 8,688 tenure-track, Ph.D.-holding professors at 51 of the top 60 liberal arts colleges listed in U.S. News and World Report’s 2017 rankings.

Nearly 60 percent of all faculty members were registered as either a Republican or a Democrat, and of that sample, there were 10.4 times as many Democrats as Republicans.

“The political registration of full-time, Ph.D.-holding professors in top-tier liberal arts colleges is overwhelmingly Democratic,” Mr. Langbertwrote in an article published by the National Association of Scholars. “Indeed, faculty political affiliations at 39 percent of the colleges in my sample are Republican free — having zero Republicans.”"

Too bad the study didn't include academics from the hard sciences (you know, the degree programs where the graduates are actually employable).

(he doubled our national debt, ran up more debt than all other presidents combined).

Reagan tripled the debt and unlike Obama Reagan didnt come into office with a 1.2 trillion dollar deficet but you call him the greatest modern president

Reagan? All he did was rescue our economy,

Obama rescued an even worse economy

Obama rescued an even worse economy

Obama and the Democratic majority should have jailed scores of bankers, mortgage brokers and ratings agencies executives.

We do not have he world’s best healthcare system, we do have some of the world’s best healthcare though. Big difference.

On whole we pay more for healthcare and have substantially shorter life expectancy. Any first year analyst can tell you we are on the wrong side of a cost benefit analysis. Don’t let the plantation owners get you to fight a civil war so they can keep their cash cow. Our healthcare system is inefficient and burdensome on the consumer.

Constitutionally speaking no one is worse than Trump. He gets smacked around by the courts and has to pull back regularly before his stuff even gets to the Supreme Court.

Obama was a good to very good president. He had the burden of being black with idiots in congress on the right so he was limited after 2010. You play the hand you’re dealt I guess. You can draw a straight line from Sarah Palin to Trump and it’s all because of Obama being black.

Good point. Trump needs to reread that part of the Constitution that says the President is constitutionally inferior to district court judges in Hawaii and has to get them to sign off on his policies. The Supreme Court would have affirmed this ruling but Putin hacked their computers and changed the opinion.
