True, but I was referring to his years as a politician, which you know, but it's OK...
And you know Reagan use his skill-set developed as an Entertainer to great effect... that’s why he was known as the great communicator
and his opponents dismissed him as a lightweight dunce Loose Cannon, “Cowboy”....
( remember the joke at a time?.... what’s flat black and glows in the dark?.....Iran, 5 minutes after Ronald Reagan takes office)
This was the Reagan that was caught on an open microphone saying that he “sign legislation today that banned Russia forever, the bombing begins 5 minutes”... it’s Reagan that called the Soviet Union out finally and call them what they were “the evil empire”
I love him for it but all the the Talking Heads went ballistic about how un statesman-like Reagan was... to hear them talk ...Reagan was just some crazy warmonger cowboy actor that was going to piss off everybody and send the world back into the Dark Ages
