Reagan really was a moron Michael. Which was the debate where he rambled on about the Pacific Coast highway at the end? He was a fraud, a mouthpiece. Slicker than even slick Willie. I really liked some of the members of his cabinet, but was terrified by Oliver North. And Nancy, whoa boy, there was one Iron Lady. And people were afraid Hillary was running the government? I was afraid it was Nancy and her astrologer at the end. But then maybe a photogenic moron is exactly what the American people want in a leader. I am neither Republican nor Democrat, I want the best man to win regardless of party. Never could vote for Reagan (and btw I've been criticizing him forever, and I'm not gonna stop just because the American people finally realized something was wrong with the man.) Liked Bush though, of course I liked Barbara even better. I liked Ford. Respected Nixon's brains and gumption but his paranoia was frightening. Now Reagan frightened me more because he was SO out of it. My mother disagrees and says Nixon was scarier because he knew what he was doing. I can see both sides of the argument. I don't like the cult of JFK, and I don't like what I've read about him. I don't think he was ready to be president and I don't think I would have voted for him. I liked Carter as a man, but not as a president. He was probably too decent to be dealing in foreign affairs. I didn't like Ike, but did like Truman, despite Korea. Gee, this is fun. I could just go on and on. I liked Wilson. What a guy. Teddy Roosevelt, a much better Prez than FDR (imo). But who knows? I don't like FDR, I don't like what he did to enlarge the federal govm't but if he hadn't done it would we have gone communist or socialist? That would have been a nightmare. Then we could be recovering like the former Soviet Union...or not recovering.
