I keep hearing folks on the Left comparing Obama with Reagan.  "Why, he has the same communications skills," they gush.  And "he is sooo Presidential!" they swoon.  How about we look at the facts?  Peter Ferrara over at Forbes Magazine has done just that:  "Reagonomics versus Obamanomics" - it is a chilling indictment of the predicament we find ourselves in.  But there's more - let's compare the "stature thing"...compare and contrast:

Here's the bad news: "Greek Contagion Spreading Fast."  Portugal and Spain and Ireland, oh my!

Market is heading south again...Weiner has yet to resign even as images of him cross-dressing emerge...

At least it has cooled off outside.

That's it for now.

Rumble on!
