Reagan wasn’t acknowledged for the great president he was until after he was out of the office. I disagree. GWB has done a fine job, but not a great one. I recall a distinct sense of loss when Reagan left office and I know a lot of others who felt the same way, Reagan created a sense of optimism, it just isn't there with Bush.

As I recall, the media beat President Reagan up the whole time he was in office.

Remmber this? Bruce Springsteen - Born in the U.S.A. Original Release Date: June 4, 1984 which was obvously insipired by Ronald Reagan.
He is one of Terri's favorite singers who she still remembered in the hospice of death.

I was thinking more of the way he was portrayed by the media. I know he was popular with a lot of the people, but the media shredded him in office. Afterwards, especially at his funeral, they couldn’t say enough good about him.
