abso-friggin-lutely!!! one of the best presidents in US history! if he was able to run again, he definately would have won a third term, even people who hated his politics thought of him as a nice guy, we need another Reagan!
jeez looks like a lot of atheists hated ronald reagan by the looks of this, it sure does tell you something, he must of been doing something right, its a scientific fact that people who grow up with God in there lives, are better people, it was in a study a few weeks ago, it sure does explain all of the debbie downers, if he was so terrible like they say, why did he always win in a landslide! the guy was awesome and did awesome things!

You only have to read my profile to know my opinion of President Ronald Wilson Reagan. What irritates me about so many historians is that they look for excuses not to credit Reagan with ending the Cold War. They think he just stumbled into the right place at the right time. They have a word for people like that, but "idiots", "morons", "feeble minded" doesn't even start to cover it. Reagan was shrewd. He was a master negotiator, a skill he learned fighting the toughest adversary known to man: the tightfisted Hollywood studio bosses who would have paid actors with a cup of rice every day if they could. Reagan was far wiser and cleverer than people gave him credit for. He knew that SDI might not work for decades, he knew it might only provide enough of a shield to protect certain sensitive U.S. military targets. But he bet that it would scare the Bejesus out of the Soviets, and it did. He bet they would start panicking as a result of all this, and they did. That's where Reagan made his move. He outmaneuvered the befuddled Gorbachev like Kasparov on the chess board. He kept chiding and prodding Gorbachev to institute this reform, eliminate that requirement, broaden this, tighten that, until one day the Politburo realized they they had been painted into a corner, and the satellite countries were about to revolt. There was no options left. Reagan's secret financial war against the Soviets had bankrupted them, and now they couldn't even control Eastern Europe. Game over. Reagan won. (Gorby just took the credit like some grinning fool).

I think I like Eisenhower the best in the 20th century.

Top 5 I'd say. He was a good President, but he did have the occasional monumentally stupid idea, like trickle-down economics. That was just idiotic.
You'll never get everyone to agree on who the best President was. I think it was Eisenhower. Others will say F.D.R., etc.
And unbelievably enough there are actually people out there who think Nixon was the best. Just goes to show that you can never get everyone to agree on anything.

The greatest president of the 20th century is JACQUES CHIRAC.
Vive la France

In the top three. He was a little over infatuated with the USSR and Communism, but he did end the cold war and colapse the Empire.

Well, there you go again...... Easily the best in the past 50 years. Teddy Roosevelt was pretty damn good in his own right, and some will say FDR as well.

You really think he can beat the two Roosevelts, Wilson, and JFK? Probably Reagan himself would have disagreed with you.
