LBJ was definitely the standard by which all "0" candidates are gauged by.

And MrFun... I rated Reagan a 10 as well... wow.. welcome to the Republican side . Didn't know you liked him so much.

Hey jackass, I made a mistake -- have you ever made a mistake before in your life??

Haven't you noticed him creeping further and further right. I think he wants to be Sloww's snugglebunny. He'll be a Log Cabin Republican yet.

To the people who believe that Reagan failed us economically, he presided over the greatest economic expansion in US history. He ended price controls, cut taxes, restrained the growth in spending, and appointed people to the Fed who fought inflation.

Reaganomics did, in fact, work.

He helped defeat communism by resisting it, by building up the militarily, and by standing up to Gorbachev on Star Wars.

I agree that he failed in Lebanon, not by withdrawing but by being sucked into "mission creep."

I thought it was the 2nd greatest... but yeah, the point still stands.

I'm not to young to remember. In 1979 the country had lost confidence in itself. Many people said that we were now second to the Russians militarily. The national spirit was all but broken. Vietnam loomed large on every decision we made militarily. Production facilities were aging and the Japanese were kicking our economic a$$.

Then along comes Reagan. He made us all believe again. The heartbeat of the country begin to quicken again. The country started reasserting itself. People begin to believe in the American dream again. Once again we were proud to be Americans.

Reagan is an 11.

3. Deranged politically and horrible economically, but not as bad as Warren G. Harding or George W. Bush.

Anybody who was not there simply cannot appreciate how great the transformation was between the failed Carter administration to the great Reagan administration. Reagan restored the United States as no other president ever did.

As for economics. I do believe reaganomics was good for the country.

That is one thing I do give him credit for. It took a while though. The early 80's were very bad for my family. But I can't place that blame on him totally. Carter may be to blame for that as well.

I think a measure of a president's economic policies show in their second term. And the later 80's were much better economically.

If it weren't for all the scandals, and Reagan's wishy washy foriegn policy, I would rate him as a good president.

Errr, no, I'm pretty sure he's a Republican.

Republicans don't make mistakes, we just get bad intelligence.

Reagan's lack of guts to responding to Beirut was an indirect cause to 9/11. Discuss

*runs away*

Dissident, there was nothing at all wrong with Reagan's foreign policy. He stopped communism in its tracks. That is the exact opposite of wishy-washy.
