Since the end of WW2 all American presidents have been shit. Some of them more than others but all of them shit nonetheless... The only way tonot have a shitty leader anymore is to take matters into your own hands. However due to the American culture and it's poor education system there will probably be at least 2 more decades of shit presidents...
And he got away with all of it lol. That's the most amazing part. Any other politician and this would have resulted in the destruction of their reputation.
@Fred Freddy Clinton repealed Glass Steagal, signed the FCC act which allowed the the consolidation of all media in this country in the hands of monopolies, ramped up the war on drugs, gutted welfare, and signed NAFTA into law, something even the Republicans couldn't do. Clinton was an amazing Republican President, arguably better than Reagan.
Listening to the speech now, one of two things are logically true 1) he was lying through his teeth or 2) he had no clue what the hell his administration was doing. Either way, BOTH disqualify him for the reverence that he's been granted by the GOP
Gage Brock You're actually an idiot if you see this as purely democrats v republicans. High treason was committed, Reagan ignored congress and tried to find a way around the law and that is deplorable. I bet you would be up in arms if a democrat did that. You're so indoctrinated I actually pity you..
wtf are you talking about? Tim is correct, this isn't a partisan issue. Do you not have the capacity to hold someone accountable simply because they lead the party you subscribe to? Dems were plenty contemptuous and mistrusting of Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal so why is this any different?
i dont mind that if they got into politics after their acting career acting to me is still a job as well he became gov after his acting career so had political expierence after
As dear as the 1980s is to my heart, Reagan was hands down the worst thing to come out of that 10 years. His "greed is good" mantra is still something we're stuck with despite it being 42 years since he was elected.
Are you kidding me? Reagan was a good man and one of the greatest presidents ever. He's one of the big reasons the decade was so incredible and dear to people.
The money was channeled to the contras , that's why the arms were sold. He was a good liar , not actor - also a training camp ( the school of the America's - to train foreign killers to wipe out Nicaraguan villages ) was set up at Fort Benning GA.
We the people of the area surrounding Fort Benning, GA. loudly protest often, to no avail. SOA "transitioned" into Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC) in 2001.

Eh...................... I've never seen Obama say anything like this.... 3:48 and on... Admitting and taking full responsibility for something that he knew was a fuck up. I'd love to see Hillary do something like this.. Anywho politics in general is a shit show and I'm not smart enough to even give a fuck anymore. I'll just die with the rest of the world.
Yanick Norman The lib media never reported the drone strikes under Obama. Obama giving terrorists money for regime change in Syria. Hillary for killing amb Stevens.
In the US treason is " or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." Selling weapons to an enemy(taking US citizens as hostages and then be willing to exchange them for weapons would make them an enemy). He even admits he's responsible in the video. This man should have been tried for treason. P.S.: This is just one of the many, many things he did in office that were horrible.
I just watched a video of Reagan testifying at the Poindexter Iran-Contra trial, just a few months after he left office. Reagan could not remember who General John Vessey was, the man Reagan had appointed to be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest ranking officer of the U.S. armed forces. Reagan was not competent to be Commander-in-Chief.
In Soviet-occupied Poland there was a running joke: -Why are Americans better than Soviets? -Well, the Soviets come and punch you in the face. The Americans come and punch you in the face, but then say they're sorry.

Please stop spreading lies. "Four different independent investigations by various state and city Attorneys General and the GAO released in 2009 and 2010 cleared ACORN, finding its employees had not engaged in criminal activities and that the organization had managed its federal funding appropriately, and calling the videos deceptively and selectively edited to present the workers in the worst possible light."
Reagan denying this when you know dam well he knew reminds of the scene in the movie Clear and Present Danger. When the President wants to stop drug traffic with gorilla tactics behind Congress. I think he tells his staff "The course of action needed, is a course of action I cannot suggest" wink wink.
So let me get this straight. He gave weaponry to countries that are considered a potential nowadays? That's like selling someone a gun and telling them dont rob me even though you could if you wanted too.
He sold weapons to Iran, then secretly funded the Contras of Nicaragua with that money to take back the country from the Sandinistas which ousted Anastasio Somoza...
Reagan lied about being involved in secretly funneling money to Nicaragua. This speech was given to distance himself from his participation. He already knew His involvement from the beginning.
"A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions tell me that this is true, the facts and the evidence tell me it is not."
the difference is People on Welfare Food stamp use has now reached a record 46.7 million people. Food stamp spending, which has more than doubled under Obama’s term to a record $75.7 billion, is now the Department of Agriculture’s biggest annual expense. Disability Claims The number of workers taking federal disability insurance payments hit yet another record in July, increasing to 8,753,935 during the month from the previous record of 8,733,461 set in June, according to the Social Security
Yes, he lied. The reason for no impeachment? Simple. President George H.W.Bush pulled an Executive Order making sure he would not be impeached as Gerald Ford did for Nixon. Do the homework. I always have!
What the hell are you even talking about? Alcohol abuse causes more deaths and is more harmful than marijuana. Deaths caused by marijuana = 0. Look it up and google. We are spending millions of dollars to enforce marijuana being illegal and being are going to jail possession. This is stupid, if we make it legal and treat it like wine, the drug dealers would be off the streets, it could spending on our huge debt, and the government would actually make money. More violence comes from prohibition.
The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) was created in 1961 as a response to the brutal government of Nicaragua's dictatorial Samoza family. The organization was founded as a student movement to topple the Somoza dictatorship but it gained little traction. But popular sentiment shifted against the Somozas after the Managua Earthquake that killed 5,000 people and leveled much of the capital city in 1972
No, he lost it BY HIS OWN AGREEMENT because he was going to lose it anyway in court. Your attempts to argue this way are futile; he knew darn well what they were asking, and he lied about it.
It’s too late now, but if Trump had done a “mea culpa” speech shortly after taking office, he would have been forgiven by most of his supporters, and the press would have been disarmed. He could have released enough facts to make it seem like he was letting everyone in on his secrets, and also seemed like he was being presidential.
Sure. Since President Reagan left the White House in 1989, the U. S. has stumbled, so it is wise to ponder why Reagan did so well. Was it natural intelligence or careful political training? Not really-and that fact both galls and baffles his critics. Reagan had three parts to his genius. First, he was a visionary; he believed that people wanted freedom and would do well when more of it was given to them. Whether he was undermining the Soviets, challenging an unlawful union, or deregulating oil
Oh, really? Do you really think that the press would let him get away with it, if they had something on him? You must think the press has a CONSERVATIVE bias.... *sigh*
As Barack Obama comes under increasing scrutiny, his account of his religious upbringing deserves careful attention for what it tells us about his integrity.
He's comes across feeble, weak and a pathetic liar ... unelectable from that point forward. This sticks with him to this day, this was become is legacy
We did this terrible thing, I'm so sorry. The reason we did it is because we were trying to save seven hostages Wait you didn't even get any of the hostages back? Yeah sorry chief this isn't adding up 😂😂 I didn't remember how bad this was from school
Thus the seeds were planted for a dynamic organization that the next 20 years would be cultivated, cared for and nurtured. And blossom it did. Mostly in secret, but it grew stocks and roots all over the world and I go into more detail in the next chapter.
13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high. 14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen.Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison. LOL
(From CBS of all places) ...all the problems facing the United States right now, none are more important than health care. President Obama says rising costs are driving huge federal budget deficits that imperil our future, and that there is enough waste and fraud in the system to pay for health care reform if it was eliminated.
6. Tax on Indoor Tanning Services ($2.7 billion/July 1, 2010): New 10 percent excise tax on Americans using indoor tanning salons. Bill: PPACA; Page: 2,397-2,399 7. Medicine Cabinet Tax ($5 bil/Jan 2011): Americans no longer able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin). Bill: PPACA; Page: 1,957-1,959
The American people deal with the choices handed them. It isn't their fault the Democratic Party was stupid enough to nominate George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Mike Dukakis, Al Gore, and John 'I Went To Vietnam' Kerry.
Many critics of reducing taxes claim that the Reagan tax cuts drained the U.S. Treasury. The reality is that federal revenues increased significantly between 1980 and 1990: Total federal revenues doubled from just over $517 billion in 1980 to more than $1 trillion in 1990. In constant inflation-adjusted dollars, this was a 28 percent increase in revenue. As a percentage of the gross domestic product (GDP), federal revenues declined only slightly from 18.9 percent in 1980 to 18 percent in 1990.
A board appointed by the President to investigate the President, I'm utterly shocked that they found he did nothing wrong.
Andrew Fiala Thats like the time FIFA opened an investigation committee to investigate their corruption scandal.
They did NOT say he did nothing wrong. They said he was too incompetent to punish ... like hitting a retard when they don't understand

The American people deal with the choices handed them. It isn't their fault the Democratic Party was stupid enough to nominate George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Mike Dukakis, Al Gore, and John 'I Went To Vietnam' Kerry.

Many critics of reducing taxes claim that the Reagan tax cuts drained the U.S. Treasury. The reality is that federal revenues increased significantly between 1980 and 1990:
Total federal revenues doubled from just over $517 billion in 1980 to more than $1 trillion in 1990. In constant inflation-adjusted dollars, this was a 28 percent increase in revenue.
As a percentage of the gross domestic product (GDP), federal revenues declined only slightly from 18.9 percent in 1980 to 18 percent in 1990.
