The difference between Reagan and Obama is that
1) Reagan raised taxes on the rich
2)Reagan raised taxes on GE
3)Reagan raised SS taxes
4) Reagan bailed from Lebanon ASAP
5) Reagan gave amnesty to a bunch of people
6) One of them got rid of more bombs than the other; I don't know which
7) Reagan people went to jail
7.5) Ike built the roads that Obama was referring to when he said"you didn't build that".
8) Reagan hired public employees to get us out of a recession; Obama "fired" public employees to prolong the downturn
9) Reagan just said "No"; Obama raided the med mary dispensaries.

I'm sure I can find more; Reagan is a civil libertarian compared to Obama.

Come to think of it, Obama is to the right of Reagan.
