When I hear a complaint about President Obama it usually makes me laugh because it's the same complaints I heard growing up about conservative icon Ronald Reagan. Some of the most common complaints about President Obama include -
4 Americans died in Benghazi and he did nothing -- what about all the Marines who died in Beirut after President Reagan was told it wasn't safe to have them there and after they were already attacked once. After Benghazi I kept hear "we still haven't caught people responsible", lets ignore that President Bush never brought Bin Laden to justice and stick with Beirut - do you know how long it took president Reagan to capture or kill the people responsible for so many dead Americans? He never did, after the attacks he cut and ran never trying to find the people responsible but don't worry the French took up the fight for us and went after the terrorists after Beirut.
"Obama has added more debt than every president before him" - first off that's a lie but even if you used fuzzy republican math and accepted he doubled the debt it's still not even close to Reagan adding TWICE as much as all the presidents before him.
"President Obama is weak" - and Ronald Reagan was so strong? Conservatives love to give him credit for winning the cold war but that's like giving the decorator credit for building your home. Reagan armed Iran, support and kept Bin Laden in power when the world called for him to be removed and is even linked to helping him kill his own people. Ronald funded the Contras as they raped and murdered women and children while ignoring the genocide going on in the world. If spending money on the military is strong than that's about all Reagan did.
During the ebola "crisis" the media and republicans jumped on Obama saying he didn't care and he wasn't doing anything to help people. Remind me again how long it took Ronald Reagan to even admit AIDS existed let alone do anything about it?
After a plane came down the media again went on offensive attacking Obama for not doing anything fast enough because after the Korean flight went down Reagan rushed back to DC but again the myth outshines the truth as Ronald stayed on vacation and didn't address the nation for 4 days and later admitted he didn't even want to do it then.
"Obama has expanded government" - this ignores the facts that there are over 1,000,000 less government employees today than when Obama took office, by contrast Ronald Reagan added new departments and expanded the size of government. If President Obama expanded government at the rate of Ronald Reagan or Bush unemployment would be 5% or less right now.
That's not to mention the Obama has only loosened gun laws why Ronald Reagan supported more regulations, Obama has cut taxes on poor and middle class people while Ronald Reagan raised taxes on struggling families and for the first time in American history taxed social security. One president made millions of illegal immigrants legal citizens and last I checked it wasn't Obama.
The big one that really entertains me "Obama gave us socialized medicine". Only in conservative eyes can forcing someone to buy free market private health insurance be socialism. Fact is it was Ronald Reagan who made it so hospitals must treat people even if they have no way to pay for it which passed the costs on to people with insurance so which one is socialism again?
