No. Terrible, but famous, and a favorite of the Socialists and One-Worlders. Poor Mrs. Reagan, Bless her heart, is just echoing what she has heard for many years from the liberal socialist managed media. Anyone who knows the truth about FDR, Wilson, etc., would not utter Ronnie's name with the likes of them. Ronald Reagan was much better.

I feel that Reagan's presidency can only be compared to Jefferson's. The fact is that Lincoln, Wilson and FDR were all presidents for whom the times dictated their actions. Reagan, Jefferson and TR were different. They had a vision and pursued it. Reagan was not just a man for his time, but a man who came later than he was needed. Had he not come when he did, the Soviet Union might have lasted another 20 years or more. The death throes may have destroyed the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

What he did, with the USSR, with economics and with the military was nothing less than brilliant and changed the shape of the country even more profoundly than FDR. We live in a Reaganite future. Clinton was even a Reaganite Democrat, whose presidency was more effected by the paradigms put in place by RR than those of FDR.

Lincoln was great, but his entire presidency is seen through the context of the Civil War and the plans he had for reconstruction, which differed from the poor plans that were actually carried out. I would even say that there wasn't a Lincolnite era that followed. To my mind, the presidents who ushered in eras were Washington, Jefferson, TR, FDR and Reagan.
