This is how a real leader speaks and conducts himself.
Happy 4th of July Mr President, we miss you.

It really is a fascinating phenomenon to see how fondly he is remembered despite having a largely failed presidency that could have ended in impeachment.

You realize of course, that Ronald Reagan was the second stupidest president after Trump?

Not even close....house plants are smarter than Carter and obama

"presidents" in the US are little more than figureheads, they have next to no power. how do you think you end up with ex actors, reality tv stars, previous president sons, nearly previous president's wife. it's pretty remarkable these people just so happened to possess the elite level political ability you'd expect would be necessary to reach the top of the political pile in a country of 300 odd million.
obama was the only recent one with any actual political acumen.

Very weak troll.
Study Goodrum's threads for a lesson in trolling (and for you, usually an added bonus of sucking dick).

so you really think that a reality tv star who after speaking to china PM for 10 mins admitted he "didn't realise that the korean peninsula issue was so complicated" is actually afforded any meaningful power? lol
if you haven't got anything sensible to contribute why not just get lost. this is the political board dude. it's probably a bit highbrow for your brain to cope with.

O Rly? So he doesn't appoint Supreme Court justices and all of the judges on the federal bench, which has a direct impact on the lives of every day Americans? He's not the commander in chief of the armed forces? He doesn't appoint the heads of all of the federal agencies that have a direct impact on the lives of everyday Americans?
Wait. Are you Canadian?

most politicians turn out to be cnts anyway, but the difference is in the UK and the majority of developed world you actually have to work your way to the top of the political pile. you could never come from nowhere being a complete political novice and then all of a sudden become PM.
if that doesn't tell you they're no more than a puppet you must be very gullible and probably think WWE is real too.

how are they concrete examples?...it was also publicly announced that it was trump's decision to bomb syria... now he obviously has very little knowledge of foreign affairs. so how much do you think that decision was really made by him?
why would it be so different when it comes to "his" apparent appointments

How are they concrete examples?
Fact: The president appoints all judges on the federal bench, including members of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Fact: The president appoints heads of federal administrative agencies.
Fact: The president is the commander in chief, which means he directs all of the most powerful armed forces in the world.
The decision to bomb Syria was made by the commander in chief. Unlike our last disaster of a president, he followed the recommendation of his military advisers.

ok think of it like this. you own a big NFL team. would you let a complete novice that has no experience playing or coaching football make decisions on what players to pick and what tactics to employ?
well there's a bit more at stake than that when running a country! sure publicly he decides everything.REALLY he is just a figurehead.
damn this feels like when i told my kids there was no father christmas ;D
no not canadian

figurehead
ˈfɪɡəhɛd/Submit
noun
2.
a nominal leader or head without real power.
synonyms: titular head, nominal leader, leader in name only, frontman, cipher, token, mouthpiece, puppet, instrument, man of straw
"the president was just a figurehead"
"titular head" would probably be good one for trump :D

So you pull the definition and still don't know what it means? If the president was just a figurehead, he wouldn't be able to order troops into combat, like he has done for decades.
If the president was just a figurehead, he wouldn't have the sole power to appoint Supreme Court justices (and every other vacancy in the federal judiciary).

Reagan goes down as one of the most beloved and effective President's in US history. Fact.
He won a 2nd term by winning 49 states. BOOM!

and therein lies the basis of my argument which you seem to failing to comprehend. i don't believe the president does really "order" troops into war. i believe there are others pulling his strings. who in their right mind would allow a complete political novice like trump that sort of power.
ffs i remember in the wake of the 2003 iraq invasion GW didn't even realise there was a difference between sunni and shia muslims...and you really think a person with such limited knowledge would be afforded the ultimate decision to invade that country when he didn't even know that basic fact.
no doubt the "advisers" will make trump feel like he's the one making decisions. in reality he isn't.

Oh, so a career politician is always more effective than a political outsider in your world?
So a billionaire businessman knows less about economic issues and dealing with people than say....a community organizer who has never held a real job?
David Cameron was a liberal cuck followed by Theresa May...she of the brilliant election calling strategy!
Practice your Koran goatfuckerfucker, you may need to read a few passages at your 9 year old daughter's wedding once the muzzie scum take over

i think you're gonna get banned again if you continue with this hostility(this isn't GandO). try and do some reading and research so you can learn to formulate a coherent argument instead of all the baseless insults.

You're saying the US President is a figurehead and obama had political acumen?
Here is my coherent argument, you're an idiot and know nothing about US politics.
Happy?

Reagan was a complete failure. There isn't enough bandwidth here to list everything.
241 marines killed...did nothing.
Iraqi fighter attacks navy ship kills 37, after Reagan sold them weapons...did nothing.
After criticizing President Carter for having a $50 billion deficit, Reagan’s own deficits exceeded $200 billion. He tripled the national debt in only eight years.
Iran Contra scandal anyone? If Obama would have pulled this kind of shit your head would of exploded.
Savings and loan scandal.
Scumbag raided Social Security fund to cover budget shortfall.
Figures you republican window lickers would worship the POS.

"regan brought down communism" what a crock of sht. the USSR was crumbling and running out of money. they had too many domestic issue to worry about to continue fighting pointless proxy wars around the globe. just happened that regan was in office when that happened.
the stench of naivety on this board is overpowering!

You like the president to have Alzheimers? Ideal ::)
He told stories about having been a U.S. Army photographer assigned to film Nazi death camps. Reagan never visited or filmed any such camps.

LOL, you don't know jack shit, about that.
I was an active duty US marine when that incident occurred.
I went thru boot camp with a marine who was killed in the 1st attack at the base in Lebanon.
If you think Reagan and the US did nothing, you're 100% clueless.
I got my information directly from other marines who were there.
This is funny, but came directly from a fellow marine I served with.
He was a scout sniper and detached with a recon unit in the middle east.
His wife wanted him to have a more normal job, so he changed his MOS to
financial records ( 3421) when he reenlisted. That was my MOS.
In Lebanon, outside Beruit, he shot a boombox right off some protestors shoulder.
He said he saw him dancing and chanting on top of an American flag.
His rules of engagement prohibited him from killing anyone not shooting at them first.
He was pissed off, but, didn't want to violate the UCMJ law, so he did what he could.
So, he shot the boom box ,right off his shoulder from over 500 yds :D
He said that stopped their dancing immediately and they scattered.
Ok, I wasn't there and never saw it myself.
But this marine was a very credible source.
-

Agree 100%.
I was NOT some decorated war hero.
BUT, it was an honor to serve in the USMC when Reagan was our commander-in-chief.

Obama was and is an incompetent fool.
You look stupid making that comment, no American outside of Primemuscle would say obama was skilled at anything other than dividing people

He was a once in a lifetime President.
It sounds corny, but I actually felt prouder and more patriotic when he was in office.
Thanks to the internet you young bucks can see his best speeches and debates via youtube.
When you have some free time, you should check him out.
I sincerely believe you'd enjoy doing that.

100% truth. He made people damn proud to be American and knew how to be the role, figurehead , and how toncomport himself

Many people here claim they felt Obama made a mockery of the Presidency.
I under stand they didn't like his politics, but he conducted himself in a proper , dignified manner.
I thought W Bush acted with dignity and respect for the office as well.
Neither man was Reagan , but they behaved like the POTUS.
In my opinion, Bill Clinton is the one that made a mockery of the office.
Plus, Trump's gossip tweets don't help him look dignified.

Gutless Reagan supported terrorists. This guy was the best of the best republicans. ::)
After several Americans were taken hostage by terrorists in Lebanon, Reagan provided weapons to Iran in exchange for their release. Despite this concession, ultimately more hostages were taken.
I did hear that he ordered the killing of 1 boom box though.

How many days did Iran hold hostages under Carter?
What happened the 1st day Reagan took office?
Greatest American President of the modern era.
