How much better was Reagan's GDP than Obama's?

and is Obama's as bad?

cons make all kinds of allegations... I asked cons to support their claim...and no one seemingly could... so I went off to do my own research... and...

in 2009, GDP was 14.219...

in 2013, five or so years in, it's 15.684... 1.465 trillion growth

Reagan in 81 was 2.762...

and in 1988 was 4.698.... 1.936 Trillion growth in 8 years, which was more than Obama's granted... in 8 years

and just for sillies, after five years (like Obama's term so far) in 86, Reagan had 4.184... which was 1.422 trillion growth... interesting...

    It depends where you look:

    It is quite a difference to Reagan's favor and that of the American people. This chart shows clearly the results of Democrats' "Trickle Up" policies which transfer money to the wealthiest few.

    So with Obama and increase of 10% and with Reagan and increase of 68%. So the answer is Reagan by seven times.
