POTUS 40: Pres. Ronald "Dutch" Reagan - B Movie Actor To President


click to enlarge

President Reagan was a nice guy, an avuncular leader with unrelentingly bad policies. Did he help defeat communism, or was he in the right place at the right time? Probably the latter. The White House from 81-89 seemed too often to operate on autopilot. The Contra-gate affair and Ollie North were scary and depressing. Later revelations that the President and Nancy consulted astrologers before making decisions were a little spooky. Like all republican presidents, I like him a little better in retrospect.... /jack
