Reagan Quotes.

[midnight Target]

The original "misery index" is simply the jobless rate added to the inflation rate. The term was coined by economist Arthur Okun, an economic adviser in Lyndon Johnson’s administration.

Didn't start with Carter.

maybe it was the poor bastards policies that made us all feel miserable.  It was the Dems who invented the misery index, unemployment + inflation. Now that’s real optimistic.  I remember the carter years very well. He was a joke.

we had lost in Vietnam, we had Nixon ***** up, we had doldrums through ford, then that clown Carter, after 30 plus years of pessimistic thought Reagan came in and gave us hope once again, llead  us to believe in ourselves once more and made America strong, defensively, economically. And he put the fear of GOD and The US in the soviets.

So, you want a President to make you FEEL better?  


He wasn't a good leader or Pres. but Vietnam wasn't Carters fault, Nixon wasn't Carters fault, Ford wasn't Carters fault and 26 years of pessimistic thought ( this is bullsh** btw)  wasn't Carters fault.  What was Carters fault was that he didn't make you feel like everything was great?

The fact is.... the state of the Union WASN'T good.  He should have said it better but blaming him for not making you FEEL better about it is....  uhhhh........  Presidential  I guess.... LOLOL

I liked the one I recall where klinton claimed to be so affected by all the black church burnings that he seen as a kid in arkansas... he even had a tear in his eye when I saw the speech... someone did the research and.... zero  that's it... zero black churches were burned in arkansas during that time period.

Yeah, I liked that one too, but it was a low-quality lie for billy boy.  He topped that particular whopper many times. [didn't inhale, didn't have sex w/monica & etc.]
