Not really....just GWB...probably the dumbest President we've ever had. HW Bush was not dumb. I questioned much of what he did, but I never doubted his intelligence.

Agreed. I actually liked the senior Bush as I respected him vs. his screw up son.

Isn't it amazing that "the dumbest President" we have ever had got an economic plan that grew the economy from 9.9 trillion to 14.5 trillion through a Democrat Controlled Congress and how that "dumb" President implemented a surge program in Iraq that was duplicated by Obama in Afghanistan? It does seem that rhetoric always trumps reality and actual facts in the liberal world.

Don't have any idea if you did or not, but many on the left did. I had many discussions with liberals back then.

The left also questioned McCain's mental accumen accusing him of senility. They even branched out to the VP's. Quayle, Palin.

McCain does show some signs of early senility. Quayle, from my home state, was just dumb and it had nothing to do with his spelling. He once walked into a McDonalds during a recession and said, "See people are back at work."

It's what they tend to do. In the case of Reagan, it's possible they were correct. However, I guess if I wake up every morning and say it will rain today, i'll eventually be correct too.

Nah you're just enabling because your so partisan.

I thought Nixon and Bush senior were no dumbies so I don't have a problem giving credit where credit is due. Hell even Eisenhower got it. Clinton has a few things he was dumb about as did Kennedy and they were the same things - women. Carter had a high I.Q. but was naive.

Bush I did a creditable job, and was a one term president. Junior screwed up royally and let Rummy, Cheney, and Wolfie run the show, and was reelected. Kind of makes you wonder about the voters, doesn't it?
 
even half senile, Reagan was a better president that most of the losers that have followed him.

As a American I do. I don't want someone in the Whitehouse that is going senile. Do I really have to explain it to you? Ever notice how erractic senile people can be?

Or perhaps he's just telling the truth. Would you want him to lie instead?

It's irrelevant at this point, he's only dishonoring his father. If he was concerned about the country, he'd have spoken up in 1989, but he didn't. He's a loser.

What is really interesting is that Obama supporters who have alzheimer's today and forget the promises and lies Obama has made somehow want to relive the Reagan years! Diversion is what liberals always do. California residents especially seem to easily forget the mess their state is in. Can't wait until they go to the Congress for a bailout.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... and the partisan windbag blows on.
 
Conservative said:
That Obama history is something to behold, first President in U.S. history to have one, two, and soon to be three straight trillion dollar deficits, 16 plus million unemployed, and net negative job creation. No wonder liberals want to divert from that record.

Why don't go take a nap you partisan shrill windbag.

LOL, anytime someone makes wild ass claims against Reagan and GW Bush one doesn't have any right to call someone else a windbag. Back up your claims with absolute facts, not rhetoric. I gave you the sites that refute your opinions about Bush but of course you have another agenda.

Afraid of being challenged with actual facts, I see. Reagan and GW Bush results are obviously ignored by people like you. Calling someone else names doesn't make your argument stronger.

Don't forget they are paying back with interest. How can that be so gloomy?

When I see facts from you I'll probably take a picture of the screen. All I see is partisan ranting.

Actually the surge was McCain's idea but don't let your version of the facts desuade you from your butt kissing of Bushy jr.

And then there's the fact you didn't notice I was talking about Bush Sr. not Dumbya.

Ron Reagan Saw Signs of Father's Alzheimer's at White House - ABC News

It is always the family that see the sign's first, but if the family and his advisor's hid this fact from the rest of the world... then damn.. Why on earth if they knew, did they allow him to run for a second term? Who ran the country for the whole of Reagan's second term then?

"What a way for Ron to say Happy 100th Birthday Dad"

"My brother seems to want sell out his father to sell books ... my father did not suffer from Alzheimers in the 80's"


"Pray for my brother."


Michael Reagan calls brother Ron an 'embarrassment' over Alzheimer's claim -
