Reagan compromised. Like Jimmy Carter before him.

Reagan led the nation. No president since Eisenhower, including Obama, has done a better job of leadership. His seduction of the American people forced Congress to follow his lead. One may not care for where he led the nation but lead it he did. Without apology. And a 10,000 watt smile and a million dollar laugh. It's amazing what people will do for an inspiring leader -- for good or ill.
