I don't.

I remember him as a cynical calculating actor.

He brought plain talk and nascent senility to the White House. There will never be another President like him again.

Exactly the same could be said about BO. And regarding the Nobel committee, too, for that matter.

I must be lost. I thought was in this week's Reagan the hero thread. Now suddenly everybody is talking about the current President.

One of my favorite Reagan sayings is that you can get a lot done ( in government) if you don't care who gets the credit.

That is a good saying. Whomever scripted it for him deserves some credit. I'd say Reagan got credit for plenty that he had little to do with.

Reagan was a talented and charismatic mouthpiece for a well organized GOP.

I miss that level of sensibility from the republicans.

Very well said. I couldn't agree more.

That lack of sensibility gave birth to the Tea Party.

Yet it was Reagan who fathered "trickle-down economics" and other "reaganomic" principles that can be directly linked to the horrendous present economic situation. I wouldn't call that sensible, id call that feckless experimentation with the national economy and totally irresponsible.

I view the crash under the last year of Bush first year of Obama as the chickens coming home to roost from a national mindset of more for less first floated by Reagan.

Well, at the time, those economic theories had not been fully tested, so it is a little easier to forgive the results. The implementation of those same unsuccessful practices by Bush 1 and Bush 2, without the cornerstone of reduced federal spending, that was absolutely irresponsible.

Unfortunately, Romney seems to be cut from the same cloth, and has yet to describe, in any meaningful manner, the reductions in federal spending that are an absolute must for the Voodoo Economic plan to not be an instant catastrophe.

I wouldn't argue your point - could be. But let's not forget Bill Clinton. His desire for ALL to own a home.....that may have had a lot to do with the housing collapse as well. Many believe it did.
