Mary; Reagan inherited an economy with some similarities to the economy that Bush is handing over to our next President. If only the next President is able to achieve an almost miracle fix to the economy and do so with support of the people as well as Reagan. The economy that Reagan inherited was one in which inflation was spiralling our of control with no end it sight. Mortgages were running into the mid and high teens. Yikes - can you imagine that today? Reagan had to break the cycle of this spiralling inflation. He did. To do that is one thing, to do that and keep the support of the American public was a real achievement. That is what Obama was trying to explain. Hillary will not be able to do what Reagan accomplished? Why? Because she is so polarizing. She is the exact opposite of Reagan who drew people to him. When she attacks people like Obama with lies - she just really makes people mad. Reagan made people feel good, Hillary makes people mad. Obama was trying to explain this...... steve
