I've said it about a dozen times before and there are people here who prove a point when it comes to refusing to listen.

Read closely what I write. It's the double-standard that I can't stand. I do not agree with many of Obama's policies and proposals. But to knock them when a previous administration did the SAME thing is poor debating. It basically shows someone as a hypocrit - that when THEIR guy does something, it's ok, but if the OTHER guy does it, it's not.

I especially like to draw comparisons to Reagan. When someone complains that Obama doesn't do press conference when he does than at a clip 4 times what Reagan did, that says something. Now, if someone says "Gee, I didn't know that", then fine. But what do I get? Certainly not that.

When someone complains that Obama didn't produce an instant economic turnaround, I like to point out that Reagan spent 1984 selling his principle of 'stay the course' and the economic problems HE inherited were far less than what Obama came into. I believed in giving Reagan the chance back then and I know you can't turn around a near-depression in a year. Nor do I agree that Obama is doing the best job of fighting it. (He's yet to convince me of how he'll get the deficit down)

I held my nose and voted for Obama. I *enthusiastically* voted for Reagan in 1980.
