Yes... Obama knows... Knows the art of oratory... he said that judges have to make social policy (ideology as such)... this means, Judge apply politics and not abstract law impartial as such (constitution)... what reagan said of the founding fathers... Obama and its friend (chomsky) consider the usa a failed founded country in all senses.. (Very clearly expressed by him)... the long term consquences of obama anti republicanist policies is today "national divorce" and illegal anti republican corrupt polices (as in mexico the place chomsky considers then)

Man I love this country!!! I'm a child of refugees who came from Laos during the aftermath of the Vietnam war in the late 70s. The Kingdom of Laos as it was known before the communist takeover was just a cold war pawn between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. My parents were naturalized citizen back in the 80s and registered as Republicans. I understand now why they registered as Republicans. They said the Democrats were too much like the communist that they were escaping from after the take over of Laos.

Yet, you won't look at it frombthe view of all the other socialist Europeans who have a good life and dont push fascism. Trump is one form of it and his racism can lead to more ignorance and the rise of hate in this country... oh wait. It's happened already. LOL! I love how Trump compares socialism to Venezuela and countries that are by definition run by fascist leaders butbwont compare them to all the European countries under the same system that are thriving. Then when he does, he lies about anoutnhow horrible the people are living in those European countries... I've seen countless videos of European folk countering Trumps lies with how they actually live. All this fear mongering from the right through these videos nonsense and can be debunked by just talking to those from countries who live in a socialist environment. Why not talk about why works instead of what doesn't. Countries run by dictators are far different than countries run by some form of democracy. That's fact. Trump is a fascist in hiding and he sends enough hints to that where some one should pay attention. But, he's conned too many for real dialog innthe topic. Have fun with king Trump.
@News Entertainment I really do hope you get citizenship. I'm rooting for you. To answer your question honestly. There aren't any that are perfect. Some do better by their people than the United states by far and all we hear is about countries with fascists and dictators as leaders. Switzerland, Netherlands, Norway and most countries in that region are doing much better than most and they are nowhere near having people living like animals. Plus, they live longer and have better quality life than Americans. Do I want to live there. No. Do I want the same socialistic government they do. No. But the question isn't about socialism or if it's better than what America has. Ours is better by far but we have far less quality of life, health insurance is awful and super expensive and just about every elderly person lives on the fringes of poverty because of how expensive it is after retirement. I really dont see that in those countries and i surely don't see that in Spain, where my wife's family is from. Again, not perfect but people are better treated than here. Venezuela and countries like those aren't even in the same league as most European countries. I'm actually thinking of retiring in Spain with my wife. Galician air is wonderful and so is the food. Again, I do hope you become a citizen. Get that paper work rolling. The sooner you get it going, the sooner things happen. Much love.

You`re right Anthony...America needs to wake up...Obama campaigned for change...we got it but I don`t think that`s what we had in mind...time for a real change and for the better.
Many forget "The Great Communicator" received his nickname as the ten year spokesman, and part owner, of the "ge theater" program.

+Tony Martin jimmy carter was also responsible for the highest spike of inflation in history, his foreign relations with china, he allowed aipac to dictate his foreign policy gee doesnt that sound familiar?
That is not quite how the Soviet Union was crushed you are missing something key that requires more planning than simple proliferation. The Soviet Union couldn't keep up with the Jones's and beat themselves economically. It was diamonds and oil. Reagan got South Africa (deBeers) to greatly increase diamond production and the Middle East to flood the market with oil. Those two were the Soviet major exports and when they devalued, it was over.
+Callie Sullivan I love Reagan because he instilled pride, hope and prosperity to most Americans. I suppose we are all free to interpret and represent information in a spin manor to say what we want.

The problem is most people don't even know enough about history to teach it to their kids. And many that do still don't. They let the schools do it, and you get SJW geography lessons, and feel good views on society instead of the study if what was and what is. I present my kids with information from both sides and I ask them to tell me which way they believe and why. The why part makes it hard. I then tell my kids what I believe and why, and why I don't believe the other way. Then I tell them that they need to figure out for themselves if they agree or not. If you teach your kids to critically think, they won't just follow any yahoo that comes along, even if it's in the party they support.

Reagan actually didn't warn us, he gave them all amnesty and turned California from a republican state to a democrat state. He knew most catholics vote Democrat, and most illegals are hispanic and mexico is over 90% catholic. Why dod you think the Democrat Party and the Pope want open borders?

I was raised in the typical Black Democrat household but really didn’t understand what that really meant because I wasn’t into politics. I just liked the way Reagan spoke and decided to vote for him. He had a way of coming across as being honest and trustworthy and that sold me on what he was saying. Honestly I never gave it a second thought that he was a Republican. I was 18 years old and just entered the USAF. And even though he was my Commander and Chief, that really had nothing to do with me voting for him. Because voting for him wasn’t a requirement for service.

There were just as many American hostages in other countries when Reagan was President, but he rarely ever spoke about them or even tried to get them released. Do you know why? Because Reagan couldn't make a political issue out of it, like he did when he ran for President in 1980, when he used the hostage situation in Iran (11/4/1979-01/20/1981) as a weapon against his opponent, President Jimmy Carter, to make him look like a weakling because all his efforts to have the hostages freed came to nothing, including his attempt to rescue them by military force, which ended in disaster when the two army helicopters crashed into each other, killing eight soldiers. This incident only served to confirm what Reagan was telling the American people, that Carter was a weak bungler who was letting a small foreign country push him and us around. In all our anger about the Iranian situation, we forgot about a few things. To start with, even if the Government did try to save the hostages by force, there was still too much of a risk that the hostages would have been killed by their captors, especially since they were well-guarded, not just by the radicals who took over the American Embassy in Tehran (the capitol city), but by practically the ENTIRE CITY OF TEHRAN! Second, we also forgot that we, the United States of America, brought the hostage situation on ourselves! How? By putting the Shah Of Iran in power back in 1953. Our Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) staged a military coup to overthrow the Prime Minister because he was supposedly leading Iran to Communism. This, however, was just a cover story (which resonated with an America that was in the midst of the Cold War and the McCarthy Era, when paranoia about the "Red Menace," which was basically exaggerated, was rampant) designed to hide the real reason for the Iranian coup, because the Prime Minister didn't like the idea of his country being dominated by the big oil companies, which were owned and operated by the United States and the United Kingdom. So, the C.I.A. ousted the Prime Minister and replaced him with the Shah, who turned out to be little more than a dictator who oppressed the Iranian people for over a quarter of a century (1953-79), often with the help of the C.I.A., which taught the SAVAK (the Iranian Secret Police) how to torture and murder the enemies of the Shah. It's no wonder, then, that the Iranians finally got sick and tired of it all and decided to overthrow the Shah in 1979. It's also no wonder that the Iranians hated the United States so much since we started the whole thing in the first place, why they called us "the Great Satan," and why they took all those Americans as hostages. But all that was forgotten (or covered up, depending on your point of view) in the midst of our fury over the Iranian crisis. All we heard back then was about how some "Mickey Mouse country" was holding supposedly "innocent Americans" captive, how President Carter was a "weakling" and a "wimp" who was letting Iran treat us like dirt, who didn't have the guts to "send in the Marines" to rescue the hostages, like in some "John Wayne movie," (just like he didn't have the backbone to send the Marines to Afganistan after the Russians invaded), that this was an example of how America was becoming weak, how it was no longer a "great country," etc. It never occurred to us that maybe the real reason for the hostage situation was not because America was no longer "great," but because it had become TOO GREAT, that it had become an imperialistic bully that thought it had a right to meddle in the affairs of other countries, supposedly in the name of "National Security," but actually in the name of protecting corporate greed. This was so not just in the Iranian coup in 1953, the purpose of which was to protect the oil interests there, but also in 1954, when the C.I.A. ousted the legally elected President of Guatamala and replaced him with a military dictatorship in order to protect the interests of the United Fruit Company, or in 1973, when the agency staged a similar coup in Chile that led to the downfall of its Democratic Socialist President, Salvador Allende, who was replaced by the military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. There were similar acts of U.S. meddling in places like Congo, Indonesia, the Middle East, South Vietnam (whose President was assassinated by the C.I.A. in 1963, thus planting the seeds for further U.S. involvement in the Vietnam conflict), etc. This is why so many countries hate and distrust the United States, why they see us as "the Yankee Imperialist," or "the Ugly American." But, I'm digressing. The point is that Ronald Reagan used the Iranian hostage situation to his political advantage, to make Jimmy Carter look bad, and it worked, because Reagan won in a landslide. But, when Reagan got into office, he felt he didn't have to do anything about Americans being held hostage in other countries, because by this time, there was nobody that he could use these problems as a political weapon against, as he had done with Carter. It was an example of Reagan's hypocrisy, the same hypocrisy that made him support brutal right-wing dictators who claimed to be "Anti-Communist," while at the same time, Reagan was calling the Soviet Union "the Evil Empire." Furthermore, Reagan continued to back these tyrants even when they had committed crimes against American citizens, like the four American nuns who were raped, tortured, and murdered by a right-wing death squard in El Salvador in December, 1980 (a month after Reagan was elected, and a month before he took office). And this was the same man who promised that he would consider any crime committed against American citizens by a foreign country to be an act of war! This was also the same man who called the left-wing guerrillas of El Salvador "terrorists," even though they attacked mostly military targets to overthrow the right-wing dictatorship of that country, but on the other hand, called the right-wing "Contra" rebels "freedom fighters" and the "moral equivalent of the American Founding Fathers," even though they attacked mostly unarmed civilians (commiting horrible atrocities like rape and torture against them) in order to oust the leftist Sandinista government of Nicaragua, which posed no direct threat to us. Think of these things before you start praising Reagan.

Yet, you won't look at it frombthe view of all the other socialist Europeans who have a good life and dont push fascism. Trump is one form of it and his racism can lead to more ignorance and the rise of hate in this country... oh wait. It's happened already. LOL! I love how Trump compares socialism to Venezuela and countries that are by definition run by fascist leaders butbwont compare them to all the European countries under the same system that are thriving. Then when he does, he lies about anoutnhow horrible the people are living in those European countries... I've seen countless videos of European folk countering Trumps lies with how they actually live. All this fear mongering from the right through these videos nonsense and can be debunked by just talking to those from countries who live in a socialist environment. Why not talk about why works instead of what doesn't. Countries run by dictators are far different than countries run by some form of democracy. That's fact. Trump is a fascist in hiding and he sends enough hints to that where some one should pay attention. But, he's conned too many for real dialog innthe topic. Have fun with king Trump.
@News Entertainment I really do hope you get citizenship. I'm rooting for you. To answer your question honestly. There aren't any that are perfect. Some do better by their people than the United states by far and all we hear is about countries with fascists and dictators as leaders. Switzerland, Netherlands, Norway and most countries in that region are doing much better than most and they are nowhere near having people living like animals. Plus, they live longer and have better quality life than Americans. Do I want to live there. No. Do I want the same socialistic government they do. No. But the question isn't about socialism or if it's better than what America has. Ours is better by far but we have far less quality of life, health insurance is awful and super expensive and just about every elderly person lives on the fringes of poverty because of how expensive it is after retirement. I really dont see that in those countries and i surely don't see that in Spain, where my wife's family is from. Again, not perfect but people are better treated than here. Venezuela and countries like those aren't even in the same league as most European countries. I'm actually thinking of retiring in Spain with my wife. Galician air is wonderful and so is the food. Again, I do hope you become a citizen. Get that paper work rolling. The sooner you get it going, the sooner things happen. Much love.

That is not quite how the Soviet Union was crushed you are missing something key that requires more planning than simple proliferation. The Soviet Union couldn't keep up with the Jones's and beat themselves economically. It was diamonds and oil. Reagan got South Africa (deBeers) to greatly increase diamond production and the Middle East to flood the market with oil. Those two were the Soviet major exports and when they devalued, it was over.

Yeah, call him. i guess, But since he isnt running, maybe call Bernie?

“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it’s that they know so much that isn’t so”. Still rings true today.
This ain't it either. Conservatives and liberals are both dumb, for not realizing how America is a right-wing left-blocked ratchet. It only keeps going further and further into Capitalism. It's a trap, and the people just won't wake up and realize it.
Was a lie then and still is. Radical christian Conservatives think a twice impeached and convicted felon should be president. how the fuck is that rational? could not find a single decent republican to back? it's no wonder really if you've been watching the last 4 decades.

The problem is most people don't even know enough about history to teach it to their kids. And many that do still don't. They let the schools do it, and you get SJW geography lessons, and feel good views on society instead of the study if what was and what is. I present my kids with information from both sides and I ask them to tell me which way they believe and why. The why part makes it hard. I then tell my kids what I believe and why, and why I don't believe the other way. Then I tell them that they need to figure out for themselves if they agree or not. If you teach your kids to critically think, they won't just follow any yahoo that comes along, even if it's in the party they support.

Reagan actually didn't warn us, he gave them all amnesty and turned California from a republican state to a democrat state. He knew most catholics vote Democrat, and most illegals are hispanic and mexico is over 90% catholic. Why dod you think the Democrat Party and the Pope want open borders? They know by leaving the borders open and pushing for Amnesty, it gives the Pope and the Democrat Party control over America.

What does [ before my time ] have to do with it? For everyone in the country, more than half were [ before my time ].
I’m miss President Reagan!! He was the first President that I ever voted for and that was the first time that I got push back from my family.
I was raised in the typical Black Democrat household but really didn’t understand what that really meant because I wasn’t into politics. I just liked the way Reagan spoke and decided to vote for him.
He had a way of coming across as being honest and trustworthy and that sold me on what he was saying. Honestly I never gave it a second thought that he was a Republican. I was 18 years old and just entered the USAF. And even though he was my Commander and Chief, that really had nothing to do with me voting for him. Because voting for him wasn’t a requirement for service.
Thank you for your service and integrity .

Hostages were released on Reagan's first day in office.
Same thing happened in President Trumps first term.
And President Obama released the Taliban Five, in exchange for the traitor Bergdahl. Then he released over 100 terrorists & insurgents from Gitmo
fyi that was planned
There were just as many American hostages in other countries when Reagan was President, but he rarely ever spoke about them or even tried to get them released. Do you know why? Because Reagan couldn't make a political issue out of it, like he did when he ran for President in 1980, when he used the hostage situation in Iran (11/4/1979-01/20/1981) as a weapon against his opponent, President Jimmy Carter, to make him look like a weakling because all his efforts to have the hostages freed came to nothing, including his attempt to rescue them by military force, which ended in disaster when the two army helicopters crashed into each other, killing eight soldiers. This incident only served to confirm what Reagan was telling the American people, that Carter was a weak bungler who was letting a small foreign country push him and us around.
In all our anger about the Iranian situation, we forgot about a few things. To start with, even if the Government did try to save the hostages by force, there was still too much of a risk that the hostages would have been killed by their captors, especially since they were well-guarded, not just by the radicals who took over the American Embassy in Tehran (the capitol city), but by practically the ENTIRE CITY OF TEHRAN! Second, we also forgot that we, the United States of America, brought the hostage situation on ourselves! How? By putting the Shah Of Iran in power back in 1953. Our Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) staged a military coup to overthrow the Prime Minister because he was supposedly leading Iran to Communism. This, however, was just a cover story (which resonated with an America that was in the midst of the Cold War and the McCarthy Era, when paranoia about the "Red Menace," which was basically exaggerated, was rampant) designed to hide the real reason for the Iranian coup, because the Prime Minister didn't like the idea of his country being dominated by the big oil companies, which were owned and operated by the United States and the United Kingdom. So, the C.I.A. ousted the Prime Minister and replaced him with the Shah, who turned out to be little more than a dictator who oppressed the Iranian people for over a quarter of a century (1953-79), often with the help of the C.I.A., which taught the SAVAK (the Iranian Secret Police) how to torture and murder the enemies of the Shah. It's no wonder, then, that the Iranians finally got sick and tired of it all and decided to overthrow the Shah in 1979. It's also no wonder that the Iranians hated the United States so much since we started the whole thing in the first place, why they called us "the Great Satan," and why they took all those Americans as hostages. But all that was forgotten (or covered up, depending on your point of view) in the midst of our fury over the Iranian crisis. All we heard back then was about how some "Mickey Mouse country" was holding supposedly "innocent Americans" captive, how President Carter was a "weakling" and a "wimp" who was letting Iran treat us like dirt, who didn't have the guts to "send in the Marines" to rescue the hostages, like in some "John Wayne movie," (just like he didn't have the backbone to send the Marines to Afganistan after the Russians invaded), that this was an example of how America was becoming weak, how it was no longer a "great country," etc. It never occurred to us that maybe the real reason for the hostage situation was not because America was no longer "great," but because it had become TOO GREAT, that it had become an imperialistic bully that thought it had a right to meddle in the affairs of other countries, supposedly in the name of "National Security," but actually in the name of protecting corporate greed. This was so not just in the Iranian coup in 1953, the purpose of which was to protect the oil interests there, but also in 1954, when the C.I.A. ousted the legally elected President of Guatamala and replaced him with a military dictatorship in order to protect the interests of the United Fruit Company, or in 1973, when the agency staged a similar coup in Chile that led to the downfall of its Democratic Socialist President, Salvador Allende, who was replaced by the military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. There were similar acts of U.S. meddling in places like Congo, Indonesia, the Middle East, South Vietnam (whose President was assassinated by the C.I.A. in 1963, thus planting the seeds for further U.S. involvement in the Vietnam conflict), etc. This is why so many countries hate and distrust the United States, why they see us as "the Yankee Imperialist," or "the Ugly American."
But, I'm digressing. The point is that Ronald Reagan used the Iranian hostage situation to his political advantage, to make Jimmy Carter look bad, and it worked, because Reagan won in a landslide. But, when Reagan got into office, he felt he didn't have to do anything about Americans being held hostage in other countries, because by this time, there was nobody that he could use these problems as a political weapon against, as he had done with Carter. It was an example of Reagan's hypocrisy, the same hypocrisy that made him support brutal right-wing dictators who claimed to be "Anti-Communist," while at the same time, Reagan was calling the Soviet Union "the Evil Empire." Furthermore, Reagan continued to back these tyrants even when they had committed crimes against American citizens, like the four American nuns who were raped, tortured, and murdered by a right-wing death squard in El Salvador in December, 1980 (a month after Reagan was elected, and a month before he took office). And this was the same man who promised that he would consider any crime committed against American citizens by a foreign country to be an act of war!
This was also the same man who called the left-wing guerrillas of El Salvador "terrorists," even though they attacked mostly military targets to overthrow the right-wing dictatorship of that country, but on the other hand, called the right-wing "Contra" rebels "freedom fighters" and the "moral equivalent of the American Founding Fathers," even though they attacked mostly unarmed civilians (commiting horrible atrocities like rape and torture against them) in order to oust the leftist Sandinista government of Nicaragua, which posed no direct threat to us.
Think of these things before you start praising Reagan.
