Hardly anybody under 50 (except for Mike Naso, of course) will have an opinion one way or another about Reagan in 10 years. Reagan was president a long time ago. In 10 years, he will have left office 35 years prior. Who, in 1964, had much to say about Calvin Coolidge?

Probably Barry Goldwater.

Economic stewardship is part of the job of President since the 1920s. If Dubya got mediocre growth for a short time upon a speculative boom based on predatory lending that imploded, making him the worst President in economic stewardship since at least Herbert Hoover, then Barack Obama gets high marks for presiding over solid growth without any semblance of a speculative boom.
