Apparently Forbes is the new Pravda.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

This is gold.

[tik 🪀✨]

Forbes is trolling.

[Eraserhead]

Well, yeah.

[Clarko95 📚💰📈]

Well, yeah.

All because of those stupid "facts" and 'statistics". A damn shame!

[John Dibble]

So how long until Fox News starts advocating bigger government because Obama's smaller government is making the country weak?

The comments to this article sum up why these articles won't work. The Republicans have already bought that the administration is making up it's data on unemployment, GDP, inflation, and the deficit and everything is really 100000000x worse

[Nhoj]

Is this an actual forbes article or just another blogger.because they allow quite alot of random people to blog on Forbes site.

"Obama is a better president then Reagan ever was." In about ten years, that is going to be the consensus.

[retromike22]

We should then change Reagan National Airport to Obama National Airport, it
s the least we can do.

[Paul Kemp]

God bless President Obama. One can only hope that congress and the state legislatures will do the sensible thing and allow him to run for another term.

[Phony Moderate]

Of course a conservative magazine would praise a conservative president.

Reagan entirely cut government on the revenue side, while allowing it to grow immensely on the expenditures side, that's not a secret. Obama got through a repeal of the Bush Tax Cuts, but besides Obamacare, Republicans have halted him and even put through relatively minor cuts (though never below the baseline).

A GOP Congress and a Democratic President may be the right way to go for "small government".

Democrats make better neoliberals, the smart sectors of the ruling class have known this since the 90s.

nah, Reagan is a cult figure much like JFK or Mao.

Putting a piece of human filth like Mao in the same sentance as either of them is insulting to the presidency.

all the better then.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Well, yea.  Reagan is probably the worst President and nearly destroyed this country; that is if the rhetoric of the hard right had REALLY taken hold.  As it is, it seems like we just flirted with it and brushed it aside when we realized millionaires were still drinking their tea and eating their crumpets as the economy collapsed. 

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

So Marxism works then ? All hail Comrade Obamao !

Sure thing.

The fact that scum like JFK and Reagan became presidents is insulting to the presidency

That's actually very possible. Truman and (to a lesser extent) Eisenhower were remarkably unpopular when they left office, but are now usually considered to be in the top 5, or at least 10, Presidents. The Republicans got walloped in the 1986 midterm elections, likely performing worse than Democrats are likely to this year. I'm not as familiar with Reagan's popularity during his second term, but I promise you it's nothing like his popularity now. History often remembers presidents more fondly than the American public at the time, and while I don't think we can bank on that happening with Obama, we definitely can't count it out either. It's likely that Obama will be remembered in the history books as the first black President and the President who instituted a major health care overhaul (with the controversies and weedy details of that reform less emphasized).
