After Carter and his dismal failure as president, Reagan made people feel good about being Americans again. This is an excerpt from a speech of his taken from a letter he received:
''You can go and live in Turkey, but you can't become Turkish. You can go and live in Japan, but you can't become Japanese. You can go to live in Germany or France, but you can't become German or French. But anyone from any corner of the world can come to America and become an American. "
Compare this with Bill Clinton and Monica or Hillary and her land deals, Vince Foster or any other of their myriad of scandals and you'll begin to understand why neither Bill or Hillary were worthy of shining his shoes.

He had many positive accomplishments. I'd say diplomacy was the most significant.

He outspent the Russian Empire ( aka, USSR ) into the ground, thus being most instrumental in it's collapse.

He accomplished so much that there have been innumberable books written about him. You'll find some of them interesting. God Bless you.

I've been trying to figure that out ever since his presidency. Why are people suddenly so excited about him?

He brought down the U.S.S.R. because they could not match his military spending policies.
