    Well done Obama. Reagan defeated the Soviets while Obama is getting his ass handed to him by ISIS, but well done on the economic recovery.

    Hey remember when Reagan ran like a b**** after the Marine barracks in Beirut was bombed, killing hundreds of U.S. service men. Would you characterize that as "getting his ass handed to him"?

    Defeating the Soviets by starting the HUGE deficit spending that we are still dealing with. The Soviet Union was going to collapse under its economic problems no matter what.

    Was that before or after Reagan was making deals with Contras and shipping guns for hostages?

    It's scary how ISIS keeps defeating our forces and launching their daring attacks onto our soil.

    History will be very kind to Obama and rightfully so. Even disregarding the most hostile, obstructionist opposition in congress any president has ever faced, he still slowed the inevitable nose-dive this country is on.

    Don't forget Obama Care.

    How much do you want to bet that Republicans will stop calling it Obama Care once it proves to be a worthwhile improvement to the health care system.

    Good news for the American people. Now, great news would be in a few years, Obama foreign policy of not going it alone and act rashly turns out to be just what's needed for that region and for the American people.

    Thanks go out to the Federal Reserve, for putting in place the loosest monetary policy in this country's history. Monetary policy has been so pro-growth that it has canceled out the Obama Administration's growth-damaging policies such as higher taxes, more regulations, government-run healthcare, and anti-fossil fuel policies.

    Correlation does not equal causation in this instance. Anyone who follows the markets knows this has been a monetary policy driven "recovery". This helps the rich and ultimately hurts the poor when inflation kicks in.
