So, I guess that means Obama can take full credit for Bin Laden then. Only the guy in office at the time counts.

1. Only if the sitting prez is Repub. Otherwise, that rule doesn't apply, at least,
not to the bought-and-paid-for media.

3. Reagan wasn't even in office when the Cold War ended.
why that schmuck gets credit for anything other than driving up the national debt is beyond me.

4. The Cold War ended when GHWB was in office, not Reagan
And it WOULD have ended in 1982 or 1983 if Reagan wouldn't have used the Soviet Union as an excuse for his insane military spending.
