This was probably made up by a wingnut. No doubt. All the recommended websites on the linked page of the creator, responsible for the president rankings, are winger. Nobody with any brains handles ties like that. For example, if two are tied for first, second place is skipped and third place is the next awarded. Only wingers would be quite this stupid...........ranking 22 presidents as second; 17 presidents as third.....creating 5 ranking levels for all 44 presidents. Typical winger research, introspection and analysis.........in other words, none. I am not aware of any ranking that has Reagan first or tied for first. There are some that rank him in the top 10, but those are far from a majority. There were some stunningly bad presidents, Buchanan comes to mind, and a few that died so soon after taking office it would be hard to give them a high ranking. Yeah, this is a huge myth that needs to be undone; this belief among some Americans that Reagan was a great president. On the contrary, he created many of our current problems and put this country on the down low path. I believe time will reduce his importance and give him his proper ranking........somewhere in the middle of the pack.........and that's being kind. Although, I suppose when you look at a president like Smirk, somehow not doing anything notable is not necessarily a bad thing... Uh...........he started a needless war in Iraq and ended his second term in the worse recession this country has seen since the Great Depression. Those are pretty notable events. Smirk was a major fuck up.........even Reagan looks better by comparison.

When did you start having qualms or misgivings about working for Planned Parenthood? “I started feeling uneasy working there when people came from [the] national [office] in New York City to teach us the conscious sedation process. It was disgusting. These two ladies had this chant they would do: ‘Abortion all the time!’ I thought, ‘I’ve got to get out of here.’ That was about six to eight months after I started.“Those women from New York acted like an abortion was a rite of passage. They were like, ‘How can you not offer abortion to women? It’s their body. They should be able to do whatever they want. How can you force them to have a baby? Abortion should be free to anybody, anytime.’ ” “It was a money-grubbing, evil, very sad, sad place to work.“We would get yelled at if we didn’t answer the phone by the third ring. They would tell us we’d be fired [if we didn’t] because they needed the money.“They would remind us in our weekly staff meeting that we need to tell everyone [who called to schedule an appointment] to avoid ‘those people’ [the sidewalk counselors] because we need the money. We were to tell them, ‘Don’t make eye contact with them, and don’t stop in the driveway. If you make eye contact with them or if you stop and roll down your window, they’re going to try their darnedest to talk you out of it.’ “You have to have so many [abortions] a month to stay open. In our meetings they’d tell us, ‘If abortions are down, you could get sent home early and not get as many hours.’ “They would allow girls to have ultrasounds that were obviously way too far along [the legal limit for having an abortion in Indiana is 13 weeks and six days]. They said, ‘If they want to be seen, you just put them through, no problem,’ just taking advantage to make money.“I was always getting in trouble for talking too long to the girls, asking if they were sure they wanted to do this.“It was absolutely miserable going in there.”
