Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and sent to Gitmo to rot with his goat-humping muslim buddies. He’ll fit right in.

Which, of course, says far more about these "scholars" than it does about the relative value of Barack Obama or Ronald Reagan.

Interestingly, as to “handling the economy,” Obama rates 17, higher than Reagan (21), who presided over America’s longest economic recovery, as well as Coolidge (30) and Harding (39), whose handling of the economy made the Twenties roar.

Considering the criteria was marxism I would say his ranking is exactly right.

LOL! I am sure those lib scholars hated Reagan and believed he was a horrible president, so ranking odungbeetle above Reagan doesn’t say much for the narcissist in chief.

Every year, reflecting on Reagan, I think he was one of the greatest aberrations in American politics.

No other politician came onto the scene via an ideological speech. Sure, Kennedy, Clinton, and Obama all came on to the national scene during the Democrat convention prior to their nomination, but all of those had been in politics for some time prior that speech, and the speeches were not ideological, per se.

Certainly FDR had a long time in the office, a depression, and a looming war which we later joined, to provide a very consistent 12 years to act.

Reagan never wavered in his ideology from private citizen speaking on the rubber chicken circuit, to the "A Time for Choosing" speech, to his California governor campaign and administration, to his post governor years with his radio commentary, to his 1976 Presidential run, to his years in the wilderness, to his triumphant Presidential campaign, to his administration.

Reagan never wavered, he let the country come to him, instead of pandering to the electorate.

I do not believe there was ever a more consistent politician ever. And that consistency was in vision. Reagan's vision, espoused in that October 1964 speech, was realized almost 25 years to the day, in November 1989 with the collapse of totalitarian communism, and realized though the consistency of Reagan's vision and sheer force of Reagan's will.

I only see that as comparable to Lincoln's vision of a unified United States without the institution of slavery.

I think one has to argue Reagan has to be in the top 3 Presidents because only three Presidents have faced existential threats to the United States, and defeated them. Lincoln and the southern secession, FDR and WWII, and Reagan and totalitarian Communism.

No wonder WFB preferred the first 238 names in the Boston phone book alternative to these idiots!

Outrageous! A truly malicious ignorance of American history!

Should have seen the look on their faces when the Democrat party float came past our group in today’s Independence Day parade and we all started yelling “impeach obama”
