Reagan vs Obama on the Economy, Government, & the American People

...There is a reason the Reagan Recovery was so strong and the Obama Recovery is so weak. Ronald Reagan knew what really made this country great. President Obama does not. From Reagan’s first inaugural address: “We are a nation that has a government—not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.” 

Until President Obama’s policies begin matching the truths Reagan understood, our nation will never reach its full potential.
