I feel that he was "A Great Communicator" because he knew how to act.
Many find it hard to believe he knew nothing of the Iran-Contra scandal. Something about knowing the former president sold weapons to Iran so they would convince, "Hezbollah" to release American hostages does not sit well with me. Whats even worse is the funding the Nicaraguan group who started the "Crack Epidemic" in our country.
Reagan was always able to deny knowledge of the many controversies in his administration, and appologize, and people acted like the situations never happened. Kind of reminds me of someone else.
I hear people say he was compassionate, but he was constantly trying to cut funding for social programs, i.e. Headstart.
He completely ignored the AIDS epidemic until it started effecting the "straight and white" community.
He did make the rich, richer though!!!
I do not feel all aspects of his administaton were negative, but the greatest president - "I Think Not!"
