Default Oklahoma governor backs Obama

(CNN) – Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry endorsed Barack Obama's White House bid Wednesday.

"Senator Obama is uniquely positioned to unite our nation and move beyond the divisiveness and partisan skirmishes that too often characterize politics as usual in Washington,” Henry told The Oklahoman.

Henry, currently serving his second term, had said he did not plan to endorse until the party's convention in late August.

Obama can't be stopped; and we're all winners if he wins (even if you don't realize it yet). We ALL benefit from having a great leader, instead of a low-energy grandpa, as our head of state.

They said the same thing about Reagan. His Presidency was one of the most successful in modern history. Obama would be a failure.

If you consider exponential national debt, iran-contra shenanigans, and black monday a success.

If you consider a miraculous turnaround of the disasterous Carter economy, a strong stock market and the end of the cold war a success.

Good points....however those are small potatoes when you look at how the Reagan years were directly responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union...a far more important thing to remember Reagan by than national debt,, black monday and the iran-contra affair. I am no republican but arent well all glad we no longer have to deal with the Soviet Union. However we should be worried about Putin...a former KGB officer....once trained you cannot be untrained get my drift?

Certainly; but despite his theatrics at the wall, reagan had less to do with that than the burgeoning tech-industry.

They could barely feed their people, while we were developing the internet.

And that's mostly the work of hippies and nerds.

The jig was up.

Reagan benefitted from timing.


But the seeds of terrorism were planted on his watch in afghanistan...

The National Debt started picking up serious interest.
