Obama Outperforms Reagan

Well, this will most certainly lead to conservative heads exploding, the predictable 8 year old boy tempter tantrum and the overly emotional belief that people are entitled to their own facts.

Obama Outperforms Reagan On Jobs, Growth And Investing

Holy shee-it! Forbes, a bastion of conservative thought, went and done did it. They sacrileged Saint Gip and completely torpedoed the irrational belief that President Obama's policies were bad for the economy. My message to conservatives today.

Stop playing make believe and thank the president. 

It's because of him (and the spirit of Franklin Delano Roosevelt) that you still have money.

Slurp, slurp, slurp - hey, wipe yer mouth before ya talk, okay?

Haven't we talked before about just how much a Presidency "controls" the economy? About as much as the weather, right?

Funny how that article glosses over labor force participation (rising under Reagan, and declining under Obama).

Do you know what's great about Quora, juris? Bullshit like this lasts less than a second.

Go to Charles Tips answer and then click on comments. Note how John-Paul Wilson and T. Hall dispense with this nonsense quickly. Not quite the same as commenting in here now is it?:)

I'll look forward to you and "Richard Alan" reigning supreme on Quora...

No, actually they don't - but you don't understand the discussion.

In fact, another answer (one you upvoted) makes much the point I just did - that the President does not "control" the economy and that comparing Obama to Reagan is apples to oranges. No, just as long as you think there is some cheerleading for Team Blue's Hunky Captain - you are all over it, slobbering in a very undignified manner.

Here is an interesting bit on what has been going in your blue heaven - the completely Democratically controlled state of California. That is why I moved out, selling while real estate had rebounded nicely.

Okay, I finally made it over to the Quora discussion Markadelphia referenced. I don't understand why he was crowing about JPW and TH's responses. I think you're right, juris, once again Markadelphia demonstrates his lack of critical reading skills. Kind of sad.

Larry, I think you should join in on some discussions on Quora. Why not start with that one?:)
