Poll: Obama Worst President Since WW II, Ronald Reagan Was The Best

• "Also, Americans now say that he is simply incompetent or incapable, a trend that is clearly evident in the latest Quinnipiac survey, too."

  How about malicious?

• How silly. George W. Bush was one of the worst presidents in our history. The Iraq War was the worst foreign policy blunder in our history. Obama came into office with the worst recession since the depression and kept our country from another depression. He's ended 2 wars. The DOW has doubled. Obamacare is a success. Millions who were without health insurance are now covered. Millions more would be covered if republican governors would allow the Medicaid expansion but they would rather let their citizens suffer to make Obama look bad. Those who think that Obama is the worst president since Reagan are delusional and misinformed by the 24 hour a day propaganda channel. This poll says more about the ignorance of the American people than it does about the president. Historians will have a completely different assessment of his presidency.

  • Anyone who thinks Obamacare is a success has no credibility as a commentator.

• No offense but if you vote someone in that has only 1 year of senator tenure under his belt and nothing else you are asking for trouble

• People forget about the corruption and the amount of people that were convicted of crimes under the Reagan administration. Reagan was not a very good manager and his policies were awful. He is credited with defeating communism but the USSR was headed for the dustbin anyway.

  • You couldn't be further from the truth. Reagan accelerated the demise of the Soviet Union by upping the ante on defense spending and beginning a defensive missile program which Gorbachev feared. He worked closely with Thatcher and secured the Anglo-American alliance, and providing an example of leadership by working with Tip O'Neill, who he befriended, even though it chafed him to spend so much on federal programs.

    • 21 people were convicted of crimes under Reagan, I don't believe there has even been one under Obama. Whether the demise of USSR was accelerated due to the arms race is hard to prove but even you just said or implied that it was inevitable. Yes he worked with the Democrats, that I will give him credit for unlike the current Republicans.

      • Obama is a good judge of people's character; he selects only those who think like him as cabinet members. Those who would be indicted simply resign or get transferred. As for Clinton, he just pardoned them at the last minute but then he himself committed perjury and demeaned the honor of the Oval Office itself. As for Republicans working with the current president, they are stymied in the Senate by Reid who does all of Obama's bidding and makes no effort to allow their concerns to come to the floor, much less committee. Then you have people of such sterling character as Rahm Emmanuel and Eric Holder, not to mention those embattled in the IRS and other departments who have clearly violated ethics codes if not the law. What kind of judgment does that give Obama? I suppose you don't think that Obama's appointees are arrogant? You need a serious reality checkup. Be sure to use Obamacare when you do.

• Labor participation rate
  IRS email destruction, "takes the 5th"

  Syria, Ukraine

  You can keep your doctor, plan

  Ubiquitous NSA spying
  Selective enforcement of law
  Arrogant and aloof

  I wonder why he is unpopular?

• Reagan embodied the spirit of America and wrote many of his own speeches, delivering them without teleprompters, and demonstrating a terrific sense of humor. I miss him dearly. But I must say I also admire the last Democrat Reagan voted for--Harry Truman--who'd be appalled by his party today.

• Notice how this right wing online publication uses a good photo of Reagan but a bad one of Obama. Quite unbalanced I'd say.
