Clinton and Reagan- both divorced form reality, both starring in their own movies- Clinton's just happened to be a porno movie. I am sure Reagan thought he was in a Western- but life isn't as simple as black hats and white hats. I guess that is why I despise the man so much. No sense of nuance. So it probably makes it easy to make decisions if you see the world simply- but were the decisions correct? We won't know for a long time. Evaluating Reagan in an historic context now is impossible- we are too close. The fact that he was popular will fade away- what will remain are the results of his Presidency. If the excesses of the 80's and 90's lead to a great depression, if the former USSR implodes because it fell too fast and too hard- my guess is his legacy won't look so wonderful. It won't make me like the man any better if his legacy turns out to be non- destructive- but I will feel better about his Presidency.
