And what makes him the 2nd worst president after George W. Bush?
For the record, FDR and Lincoln were our best presidents.

Reagan was ONE of the GREATEST. He did make mistakes anf Democrats like to date beginning of the end to Reagan allowing immigration in 1986.
Reagan did not seem to avenge 124 Marines murdered in the Middle East in their barracks.
Former-Democrat did many more CORRECT THINGS than BOTH Bushes put together.
W doesn'y know that BURNING POPPIES in Afganistan COULD cause peace to break out all over the world!
That and mining ALL of Iraq's borders.

Are you kidding! Lincoln was the worst president ever. He made Dubya look like the rank amateur that he is.
Lincoln didn't declare war in Iraq or some foreign land, he declared war on America. He completely suspended the Bill of RIghts, invented total destruction warfare including attacking civilians and civilian facilities and he funded it all with taxes and tariffs in the North, then established such punitive taxes in the South that it was economically crushed. And the taxes in the North did not end until long after the war was over.
Lincoln took everything the Founding Fathers had created and shat on in it.

UNelected Dictator Dumbya doesn't qualify for the title "president" and is immeasurably worse than the worst ELECTED, Tricky Dick, making the Acting President second worst ELECTED as you say. Down with Dictator Dumbya!!!

i think of Reagan grew to become right into a good president... He "challenged" Gorbachev to "tear down" the Berlin wall. grew to become into he the main conservative? i'm able to't say, i do no longer understand that lots approximately him. yet i understand that his "reaganomics", the trickle-down equipment, worked, yet human beings in basic terms assumed that it would start to instruct on the instant. Bush Sr. persevered his coverage, and while Clinton have been given into place of work, the financial equipment began to surplus, ensuing in Clinton getting each and all the credit. by utilizing the way, we've been in lots deeper crap while Reagan grew to become into in place of work (economically talking) than Obama is now, and Reagan did no longer spend money attempting to make money. Yea, he spent tens of millions on protection, however the chilly conflict grew to become into nonetheless on, he had to do something. usual, he grew to become right into a good president. yet no longer the main suitable. the main suitable will continuously stay Washington.

Well, let's just take your jaded, biased word for it. You do know that is your opinion, and it is not widely shared. Reagan was the best President in the last 60 years, so to answer you silly little question... nothing. You do know you are regularly laughed at and are probably the subject of a drinking game by now. Congrats.

Well, I guess, if you think FDR is our best president, you probably would think of Reagan as one of the worst. I'm inclined to take the opposite view.
FDR moved us toward socialism.
Reagan moved us away.
FDR strengthened the Soviet Union, accelerating the Cold War.
Reagan weakened the Soviet Union, ending the Cold War.
FDR expanded government control over our lives.
Reagan reduced government control over our lives.
FDR dramatically increased taxes.
Reagan dramatically reduced taxes.
Yep, you're right. There's no comparison. They are obviously opposites. I still like Reagan BEST.

The worst Reagan decision was granting amnesty to illegal citizens living in the US. Other than that he was probably the best leader the country has had in 60 years.

There were a lot of hidden agendas with Reagan..."States Rights"...the CIA involement in Central America...credit for the start of the crack cocaine trade in L.A...having a psychic effectively deciding policy while he was still "in office"...gov't cheese LOL.
And he's #2, so you know "W" has got to be terrible!!
I'm still shocked that he was ever elected.

I think that you have your facts mixed up. Reagan was one of the best presidents we have ever had. He took over this country at one of it's lowest times in history. He rebuilt our Govt. and economy after it was destroyed by years of war in Vietnam, and he was responsible for ending the cold war. I agree with most of what else you said.
