Reagan was the worst. Scripted actor, scripted President.

Punish business and industry? Like the bailout of Wall St. and the Automakers?
I don't give a poop about business. I do, however, give a poop about Joe Blow, not being able to meet his mortgage payment, because he was pink slipped, because his job was outsourced overseas, so that management could realize bigger profits.
Sorry, I'm anti-business, and pro-worker. And I believe in unions.
And there was no need for you to be remedial with me....I went to college, and can keep up with the "big boys'.
You can anti business out of the country and joe worker can sit on the curb waiting for a handout from the bum truck that serves pb&j to the homeless.

Bailout was wrong and it will be this week when they do it again.

Nothing wrong with profit. Workers do to , then they are only penalized by the government they voted for in the form of taxes.

What, are you surprised? It's been this way for years. The average American can talk for hours about a Survivor series, but couldn't name a congressman.

Considering the fact American Idol rankings have been diving downward the past 2 years, yes I'm shocked AI topped Obama's inaugural coverage prime time.

Selecting a "conservative" Republican nominee like Gingrich in 2012.

I'm not surprised. Back when Reagan was being inaugurated, there were only about three or four TV stations for the average American - the inauguration would have been on most of them. Now the average American has about four hundred channels to choose from, so not everyone watched it; not to mention they knew they could watch it on Youtube later. We enjoyed no such luxury in 1980.

That was a major set back for the market, because otherwise failing businesses were allowed to carry on. Businesses that can't compete shouldn't be kept around, and neither should jobs that we have no demand for. If you were alive fifty years ago, would you stop the invention of automatic elevators to save the jobs of the elevator men? Surely not.

And these jobs wouldn't be outsourced overseas if it weren't for the unions forcing businesses to offer a much larger wage. Eventually, businesses get sick of this and shift their jobs overseas. Also, didn't you say you were pro bailouts? The bailouts main goal was to keep these big businesses in business even though they slipped up - now they probably will (*)(*)(*)(*) their jobs overseas. If the businesses had been allowed to fail, the workers could have opened their own business or gotten a job at a small one. There would be more competition in the market if the cartel companies were allowed to be done away with. But Bush and his liberal buddies don't want to let that happen.

You can't be pro honey without being pro bee. If you are pro worker, how is he going to work if there are no businesses left in the country? I also loved how these unions you love made General Motors pay for their employee's health care - which cost about $1000 a car; now they are going through a mas downsizing (or would be if it weren't for the bailout, but they will soon enough).
