Hmmm...ran up huge deficits, sold missiles to Iran, cut and ran from Beiruit after the attack on the Marine barracks. Maybe he didn't whine...but he did much that was questionable.
Instead you might want to read...

..of course, there is no mention of John Boehner and Eric Cantor's role in the sequester....

What does the phrase "Mission Accomplished" call to mind?

This was posted on "Uncle Sam's Misguided Chidren" and falls under the even-a-broken-clock-is-right-twice-a-day category. I remember seeing this as a poster in college at leftist organizations that engaged in a lot of civil disobedience. Who says we have nothing in common?

And that brings us to the historical irony that I alluded to earlier. Many of today’s Republicans continue to lionize their hero Reagan for “winning” the Cold War. But like the apparatchiks depicted in “The Americans,” Republican leaders seem oblivious to their own party’s growing irrelevance.
It’s not just that Republicans have lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections. Or that changing demographics are reducing the share of the vote coming from the party’s core constituency, white middle-aged men. Nor will “rebranding” and the addition of a few new faces to the leadership mix solve the GOP’s problem, any more than Glasnost or Gorbachev could fix the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

This first bunch is from a Facebook site that is wildly popular with conservatives called “Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children.”
Seriously?
Not racist much, are they?
This one boggles the mind….
Their idea of the “American Girl”
Childhood hunger is hilarious, don’t you think?
These two are ironic, when you consider that Barack Obama and Bill Clinton were born without wealth and worked their way to the White House. Both Bushes, OTOH, were born with silver spoons and hundreds of millions of dollars.
