The "actor" was also the governor of the most populous state in the union.

Hmmmm.... it strikes me as very easy to apologize for something somebody else did.

Let's try it.

I hereby apologize to the defenders of the Alamo on behalf of the Mexican army.

I hereby apologize to England on behalf of Germany for bombing their cities.

I hereby apologize to the Russian people on behalf of the Communist elite for killing 25 million of them.

See, it's easy.

You really should start posting accurate things. The economic downturn was ongoing when Reagan took office. It improved greatly while he was in office and became a very prosperous economy.

At least Obama had the biggest terrorist threat killed during his watch.

Thanks to the aggressive policies of the President that preceded him.

At least Clinton had a positive economic impact (that's means his term he helped reduce the debt, of which Bush thoroughly negated twice over)

Thanks for the Republican-written Balanced Budget Amendment which Clinton vetoed twice before finally signing it.

Nicaragua? Iran Contra? Defending Nixon during the Water Gate Scandal (then admitting later that Nixon was wrong)?

Congress controls the purse strings, not the president. The (Democrat-controlled) Congress in the 1980s outspent Reagan's budget proposals. Every balanced-budget which Reagan presented to Congress was declared DOA by (Democrat) Tip O'Neill.
