I was 14 when he was elected ... but sharp enuff to know he was the right man for that time.
Instinctively, I despised what our country had become ... as a child, I watched images from Vietnam, and the anti-US hippies, and though I couldn't articulate why, I loathed the latter.

I think of W as Reagan; part 2....:)

One thing ya gotta love about Pres. Reagan was his humor, and humility.
Still, he and Roosevelt were the two most influential American politicians of the 20th century
