We dramatically increased the national debt under Pres. Reagan.

That statement without context is meaningless. During the 8 years Reagan was President, he added $1.86 trillion to the national debt. In just 5 years, Obozo has added $5.081 trillion in debt and has 3 more years left. He also criticized Bush saying the deficit was "an indication of failure" of the Bush policies and he promised "to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term." Just like everything else he's promised, he failed miserably. I think the current President is the worst leader this Republic has ever seen...and that includes Carter.

At the time, the national debt was around 1 tril. .Gov debt almost doubled with Reagan. Bush almost doubled it again under his watch. And Obama will almost double it under his. Not really impressive if that is your point.

Oh yeah, Zorro is definitely worse than Carter. Carter had some wrong beliefs but I don’t think he intentionally set out to destroy America and as many Americans as possible. More of a starry-eyed naivete/incompetence thing.
