Obama beating Reagan!

It is at least amusing to see our resident proglodytes alternating between claiming that things are better now under Obama than under Reagan with claiming that things are worse now than they've ever been because of Republicans. Obama has single-handedly saved our country - which is horrible. That makes sense how exactly?
 
interesting:

there's apparently ~ 1 million fewer federal workers as of 2012 than when reagan left office in 1989, about 400,000 of which is from the civilian side.

edit: FRED charts of total government employees, so you can look for yourself

appears to be reagan had about 1.5 million government employees, fed, state, and local, added during his term, while obama has lost 700,000.
