I was in between the fleet and the coast of Iran when he took office on a nuclear submarine, so don't come at me about borrowing some money, it's a loosing debate with me. I will also remind you that my daughter is on the USS Ronald Reagan. Do you think they're going to build a USS Obamanation?
And it's not going to compare to the ASSHOLE in office that's borrowing like a 18 year old with his first credit card and wondering WTF when he gets his first statement, in this case, 2010 elections

I am not forgetting anything about President Reagan's administration...and just as with every President...there are pros and cons depending upon one's individual perception. What ever his pros are percieved to be...there is not any denying the fact that the less than one trillion dollar national debt...which had taken two hundred years to reach that level...was quadrupled in his eight year term of office. What ever his accomplishments are percieved to be it was accomplished on the back of borrowing from foreign countries and putting the nation deeply in debt and every President since has followed in his foot steps of borrow and spend.
I personally do not view his administration as having left the country in great shape. The last time the country was in great shape was during the '50's...up to early or maybe mid 60's...and since then it has been all downhill...to our current situation.
