Apples and Oranges

Reagan Recovery Was Double the Obama 'Recovery'

That's hilarious. To begin with, Reagan's policies are what caused his recession that began well over a year after he took office, while Obama inherited his. The George W. Bush Great Recession; 8.9% negative GDP and 8.1 million jobs lost - was three to four times worse than the one Reagan caused. Reagan is the father of huge budget deficits and he tripled our nation's debt. Obama has cut Bush's deficit in half and recovered the Bush job losses.

Revisionist history might work with the ignorant, low-information Teabaggers but it doesn't work with those of us who know the facts.
