>>However, none of these things made him a good president,... or did they?

Of course being a gentleman didn't make Reagan a great President, but it showed a great President could be one. And being an actor didn't hurt FDR in the public's eyes either. It was indispensable when deflecting his policy errors and his inability to end the Depression.

For an entertaining take on that, you might look up "The President's Speech" in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat , by Oliver Sacks.

Cheers, Dan.
