So Democrats, if we are on the run from Al Qaeda in the Middle East then why are we arming Syrian rebels who are dominated by Al Qaeda?

Obama in November 2008 telling us how his "stimulus" was going to be spent...

There will be a two-year nationwide effort to jump-start job creation in America and lay the foundation for a strong and growing economy.  
Because of this investment, nearly 400,000 men and women will go to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, repairing our faulty dams and levees.

And now you're going to try and revise history about Ronnie Raygun, who narrowly escaped prosecution in the Iran/Contra scandal because he had a fall guy (Ollie North) and the titular head of the CIA as his Veep.  Shall we explore how he wrecked the economy with his "trickle-down economics" or save that for a later day?

His economic policies, as you well know, led to more than 25 years of economic growth.  In spite of the fact that he was handed a far worse economy that was President Barack Hussein Obama.The Misery Index was developed during the administration of President Jimmy Carter.  Until now, the worst president in modern history.
