I'm not American, and I have no idea what kind of president Reagan was.. but there has been nothing else on CNN besides him all damn day and it's kind of pissing me off.

I know that some people say Reagan was like the best president ever and others say he was a dumby-head crappy president...

And that line seems to go right through my family...

I respect Reagan for one thing. He did what Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford and Carter could never do:

He dismantled the Soviet Union and did it with his pocket book and not a nuclear weapon.

That is genius.

Rest In Peace Mr. President.

I agree with Crono on this one..


Im not American...but i dont think he (Reagan ) was the best president. The best one, i think was Lincoln, for the sole fact that he abolished ( im pretty sure) slavery.




I have one question, why is it that after a president loses the presidency, he is still referred to as "president"? Its like if your boss gets fired, then you see him, and still refer to him as "boss". I just dont get it.

I'd say because of respect. Nobody's respected more than a president, I'd guess.

Out of respect and tradition.
