No surprises that Claymore and DougR agree on this.

Reagan gave the country to the wealthy and the associated industrial complex. He opened wide the doors of the savings and loans and let his carpetbagger friends in. Have all of the trials and appeals finally concluded? His old pal Richard Scaife was responsible for hounding Bill Clinton on trumped up charges for eight years of his presidency. Reagan had a Hollywood charsima that allowed him to BS his way through many issues and trample the average American and abandon the poor. George Bush Sr. was his heir apparent but didn't have the delivery to keep the message going, so he was out after one term. How on earth his pedantic son got elected--oh, wait, I forgot--he wasn't elected, he lost, he was appointed by the Supreme Court--well, he'll be a one-term president also.

I wouldn't wish aldzheimers on my worst enemy, but no tears are shed over the death of this man who set America back 75 years by his presence in the White House.
