clo,
re: "In case you missed my response yesterday."
I saw it, but didn't find it relevant. (If you disagree, please tell me why.) We were discussing 1981 to 1983, the period when Reagan showed how to turn around the awful economy he'd inherited.
Your post seems to be focused on things Reagan did once he already had the economy roaring to life.
And while you say Obama would do anything to be reelected, I don't believe he has the courage to say that everything he's done to date has been wrong. And that's what he would need to do to conquer the recession as Reagan did.
