How is President Obama doing compared to the Republican standard bearer Ronald Reagan?

Both of the main parties seem blind to their hypocrisy. I don't expect that to change. Reagan also tripled the national debt during his reign.

I used to read Buckley often, was a brilliant man.

They are hard on Obama because they have no track record on a better economy to sell. Check this out: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=who+is+... It just seems logical that when you have higher taxes you get less spending from consumers, so they scare you into his tax increases will spell doom.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
