I think some of you younger posters are a bit confused about the regard that conservatives might have had for Reagan.
Reagan's VooDoo economics practically drowned our economy into a depression. It was only after our economy and unemployment rate hit rock bottom, that we were then able to slowly recover during Reagan's era as well as after his run. We didn't truly see full recovery from Reagan's economic touch until well into the late 80's (87-89). Supply-side economics has its place within certain societies, but it proved to be futile with our economy back in Reagan's era. While our country's GDP growth substantially increased by the late 80's, it was due to the fact that it was swimming within negative values just prior to his taking of office and immediately during the first 2-3 years.
In other words, anyone who delivers the kind of blow that Reagan did to our economy will sooner or later see economic prosperity, because once you've hit rock bottom, there is nowhere else to go but up (false economic prosperity fueled by your own doing).
True conservatives from that time can tell you that Reaganomics was pretty fucking risky and not necessarily an immediate success.
I don't think many conservatives here will care if Obama is echoing Reagan's ideas neither..
