But worse then what Obama's needed to deal with, no way.
As far has Reagan being able to unite the country and Obama not. Well I think there's a lot of truth to that. Though I think you and I would seriously disagree on the why. Did Reagan have to deal with years of an increasingly divided nation? Did he have Fox helping him get his message out and MSNBC telling it's viewers 24/7 how he and his policies are un-American and he shouldn't be the POTUS?
