That was just bad leadership, the guy just didn't have the balls to be our leader. Reagan dealt with shit and foreign leaders knew it. They didn't fuck with him. He also worked with the democrats to keep Social Security solvent all these years. How can you say it was his policy, he didn't wait for it to go away, he dealt with it.
Jimmy Carter started the Dept of Energy to deal with what you said about OPEC which now has a annual budget of 26 billion dollars because of all the subsidies they give out like the 737 million dollars they gave to that solar panel company that went tit's up. Yeah that was a BRILLIANT FUCKING MOVE.
You are looking at this as a my side against your side thing, which is what Obama only has left, which just shows what a lame leader he is.

I'm looking at this as objectively as possible. He peacefully negotiated the release of the hostages in Iran, which is as good an outcome as anyone can hope for. Maybe not the outcome you would've liked because you were hoping for a chance to see some action in the Navy, but i'm sure you will reluctantly agree that overall it was the best outcome for the situation we could hope for.
Reagan and every president after him have chose to ignore the problem of our dependence on foreign oil, which is a direct cause of the war on terror(along with our unilateral support for Israel, a debate for another time).
