Reagan himself admitted mistakes. He said the saddest moment of his presidency was when our marines were killed in that terrorist incident in Lebanon and his worst mistake was bugging out shortly afterward rather than dealing with it.

He also regretted the debt problems which he did not fix, but noted that was a conscious decision to make them a lower priority than winning the Cold War.

Ronald Reagan was not God and would be offended if anyone said he was. He just happened to be the most capable president this country produced in more than the last century.

“Ronald Reagan was not God and would be offended if anyone said he was. He just happened to be the most capable president this country produced in more than the last century.”

Agreed. His greatest mistake though was not Beirut, it was allowing a smaller man to ride his coattails.

But he couldn’t bring himself to apologize for Sandra Day O’Connor and admit that Jerry Falwsell had been right all along.
