Here's one of them:
"Obama Outperforms Reagan On Jobs, Growth And Investing" (Applegrove)

Another:
"Forbes Magazine: Obama best economic president of modern times!" (Kpete)

By the way, in reaction to some of what I see in this thread, Adam Hartung is a contributor at Forbes. There is a disclaimer at the top of the article: "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own."

Like a lot of magazines and newspapers, they publish a variety of opinions, just to look "balanced" (Even Fox does that with its token liberal or two). I don't think this "Rah rah rah Obama is better than Reagan" reflects what Steve Forbes thinks.
