Have you ever read about Coolidge? He was an excellent President. And one of his geniuses was "not doing anything," because he truly believed in a limited government.
Oh, and one of the first things Reagan did when he entered the White House was hang a portrait of Coolidge. He greatly admired him. So, I guess he was pretty dumb to do that.
And FWIW....Reagan always praised FDR to the skies. He was definitely another president much revered by Reagan. ;^)
