Reagan was a great speaker with a lot of great rhetoric about cutting the size and scope of government. Too bad it didn't actually happen under him.

Oh, yeah, and that thing about selling arms to Iran was pretty rotten and could be considered treason (should be, selling arms to an avowed enemy). Ronald played dumb and the 11 Reagan administration officials that were convicted were simply pardoned by George HW Bush. Funny how evil Iraq and Iran are supposed to be, yet we have armed both of them and the reason we knew that Saddam had WMD's at one point was because we had the receipts.

He was a passable 'B' movie actor playing a role

Too amusing! So far, 90 folks have said "horrible" and yet the man won in landslide re-election, having won-over so very many "crossover voters" from the Democrat party! After Four Years in office he did this.

Conservative attacks on Clinton are usually targeted at his moral character i.e. the Lewinsky scandal rather than at his actual performance as President. That says a lot because there isn't much to dislike about the Clinton years in this country.

What was so bad about Carter again?
Quote:
During 1979, Carter deregulated the American beer industry by opening access of the home-brew market back up to the craft brewers, making it again legal to sell malt, hops, and yeast to American home brewers for the first time since the effective 1920 beginning of Prohibition in the United States.

Yeah... it's not like he sold us out to the Chinese or anything.

Selective memory is a good thing.

I always though Clinton would have been a great guy to invite to a party, but he was a horrible president.
