But even while an actor, he did get some political experience, being the president of SAG... Later, wasn't he the president of a university? (I may be wrong about that). Then he was a governor: Don't leftists think that's OK prep for the white house? Well, not for GW Bush, but it seemed to be enough for Carter and Clinton.
Never mind the fact that President Reagan was a decent man, which really seems to piss off the leftists!

Yes, but Reagan had a degree (with honors I think) in Economics before he ever went into acting. That was a degree earned in the 1930s when just getting into college meant that you were a damn smart person. Entrance exams then were tough as hell.
