Reagan: "...'the full power of centralized government'—this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize.

They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.

Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us they have a Utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy 'accommodation' and they say if we'll only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy he'll forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All who oppose them are indicted as war mongers."

Obama: "One of the first things I would do, in terms of moving a diplomatic effort in the region forward, is to send a signal that we need to talk to Iran and Syria because they're going to have responsibilities if Iraq collapses.

...They have been acting irresponsibly up until this point, but if we tell them that we are not going to be a permanent occupying force we are in a position to say that they are going to have to carry some weight, in terms of stabilizing the region."

Considering how shitty Reagan made the world, I'm always amazed at how many people still worship the tool.

Sorry to downvote but, I don't know what to say. The whole premise is laughable. These Presidents were presiding in two completely different worlds/times. To create some sort of fake debate between them is stupid at best. It's as unfair to Reagan as it is to Obama.
