Interesting to see how the comments on Ronald Reagan, as a president, posted here (Save bbc's and a mighty few others)contrast so vividly with those of world leaders as reported in the daily newspapers. Even Gorbachef referred to him as a "great president."

Of course those world leaders did not have the advantage of being born with such infallible insight as did the "lefties" on the Mudcat.

Most commentators I have heard state the Franklin Roosevelt and Ronal Reagan will go down in history as the two greatest presidents in the 20th Century. I am sure they would be disabused of that opinion were they to read the comments posted in this thread by such learned liberal writers.
