Ronald Reagan is Dead.

I just heard about Ronald Reagan. A mediocre actor and a worse politician, that doesn't mean I don't feel sad for him. There is nobody in the world I would wish Alzheimer's disease on. Nobody.

Perhaps a bad politician...but he was a great President. IHMO.

Possibly so. You need to understand that I'm coming at this from a British perspective... and Reagan was so close to hated Margaret Thatcher that it's quite hard to like him.

But no other president has been in Errol Flynn movies.

In Politics class last year it struck me that he was more of a figurehead than a president- people behind the scenes made decisions and he put a public face to them. That's a presidential thing, I guess.
