Ronald Reagan Not That Tough On Terrorism....Despite the attempt at revising History......

The right wingers are posting all kinds of stuff about how Obama is weak on Terrorism and Ronald Reagan was strong.

Ronald Reagan would never put up with this terrorism like Obama is……Ronald Reagan was a tough guy…….

The right wingers who post this nonsense obviously don’t know anything about the Ronald Reagan record. So (once again) let me help with quick history lesson. Get your notebooks out.

When the Benghazi attack happened Republicans seized on it. How could Obama let that happen…. How can Obama not do anything about that……4 people died……Oh the humanity.

In the middle of all this terrorism President Ronald Reagan (tough guy) attempted to trade arms to Iran for Hostages. 1) That was illegal. 2) Reagan said he would NEVER negotiate with terrorists. Reagan lied.

Oh and the hostages were not released anyway for many more years.

Ronald Reagan……Really not that tough on terrorism. Quiz on Friday. Study up.
