Why do people like Reagan?

[Jay Be]

Reagan toke money out f social security to pay for all his spending. The GOP talks about Obama spending when Reagan spent the most of ALL presidents. The only thing he did good was Unemployment. He raised taxes on the lower class on top of that. And for you people saying im just copying the media or something. I did my research.

Reagan was like having your dad in charge. He knew what to do, and most people felt like he was sincere. In the end his military build up caused the Soviet Empire to collapse. That collapse very likely averted a nuclear war. Or, it has at least postponed it.

[Reagan]

Don't be hatin' on me.

Best president in my lifetime. Country was doing VERY well at that time and for years after. Never be that good again EVER.

Reagan was a great leader much like Clinton was. Reagan had a democrat congress and he worked extremely well with them to pass policies to move our country forward much like Clinton did. Comparing him to our current president Obama he is amazing. Obama refuses to give in to republicans. He refuses to cut spending and he goes public in blaming republicans for everything instead of taking responsibility for his own actions. Reagan worked with democrats, gave in to them and never when public in blaming them for anything. He had a positive attitude and was very professional where Obama is so negative and divides our country so much. He makes the US look like a bunch of greedy racists where Reagan made the US look like a place where people are accepted and can succeed which is what it is. Overall, Reagan was a great leader to moved our country towards success which is why people liked him.

Ronald Reagan was a good actor. They believed him for 8 years.

Actually, the President does not have that sort of power.
You would know that if you read the Constitution.
It may not be too late to ask for one for Christmas.

Besides, he was a decent and honest man. Not many Presidents you can say that about lately.
