Look at Joan. She keeps posting the same lies, and they are lies, from Breitbart and other phony news sources. She speaks of Obama and Hillary with a deep, almost insane, hatred. She could easily say that she finds Reagan, GWB and other members of her tribe just as revolting and un-American but she doesn't. Why? Because they didn't push her bigot buttons. You have two presidents, Reagan and Obama. Obama is being accused of doing something similar to Reagan (what Reagan did was far worse) yet it's as though Obama is the only one who is doing something wrong. What's the difference? I can't help but wonder how much race factors in. It's the same with gun control. Reagan supported gun control as gov of CA and as president. Again, it's only Obama who is trying to take our guns away.
If someone like Joan were to say, "it's wrong for A PRESIDENT to do X," then I could take her seriously. But when she says it's wrong for Obama or Hillary to do X then her point has the irrational taint of bigotry and tribalism. I mean, what exactly are we arguing about? Is it Obama and Hillary or some behavior or actions? So I'm not saying why it's OK for Obama or Hillary to do something. I'm asking why it isn't OK FOR THEM to do it.

She is a liar who lies about lying, over and over and....true Americans, like Sheriff Clarke, see her for what she is.

As far as gun control goes, you might not be aware, but I am all for it.
I can't help what Joan posts, and I have learned not to bother trying to stop her.

But let's not forget exactly what he did. He didn't simply sell arms to Iran (illegal) in order to get their help in releasing hostages. It's also about who that money went to. It's how that was tied into allowing drugs into the country. That to me sounds a lot worse than giving Iran its own money back.
Was there a precedent? Knowing human history there probably was. Reagan wasn't the first crooked leader the world ever knew. Is there any other kind?
As far as gun control, I didn't say you were against it. I'm just saying that those who are and bring it up when it comes to Obama act like he is the first person to think of it.

I don't need to self-examine my conclusion, but only wonder why you were in such a hurry to make it personal and emotional for me. The problem we again are having, is keeping to time and place when discussing controversial events. I asked ... Was Reagan first for encountering a hostage exchange situation that required ... flexibility. Yes, that is an euphemism I used just to drive the meat of the conversation to a meaningful conclusion.
Yes, he was. Now Obama gets what it feel like.
And finally, you ask me to consider, who gets the money... And how it becomes tied up. Oh, yes, that is it, isn't it, and you should also ask that about the $400 million converted funds delivered on pallets....
Are you seriously confused about that? I don't think so, you have a bit more finesse to know better, IMHO

The 400 million, and the remaining payments, are Iran's money. The money Reagan got from selling arms was America's money. I'm not confused at all.

Well, because he was the first! Who knew, then if one is first! The answer is, only Obama knew, he was second, not Reagan! One followed the other. I prefer we don't get cute with this and go Ring around the Rosie.
Do the banking search and then come back and define who gets "Iran's money" . You will find it is not the butcher, the baker or the candlestick maker. Hint: Try the military.

At the time obviously no one knew what Reagan was up to but he was still in office when it came out. Looking back no one is saying traitor. They can't say they don't know. The fact that we have this transparency with Obama that didn't exist with Reagan says something.
