What, you mean Obama isn't suffering from the early phases of Alzheimer's or a fairly debilitating stroke? Reagan's 1986 corresponds to Obama's 2010. In 1986, the big struggle was between Nancy and whatzizface the chief of staff, with Ronald mouthing random one-liners from tough-guys in movies somewhere in the background. Something heavy happened to Reagan's brain in the second year he was President and the rest of his administration he was mostly a figurehead. Still a lot smarter than W ever was, but nowhere near running things.

The Reagan you are thinking of, who brought back pride in the USA and crushed the Red Menace, the 20th Century hero of God's Own Party, is a fictional character.

Ronald Wilson Reagan, the actual human being, who I met, who graduated from the high school I dropped out of, was no Ronald Reagan. He was just this one guy...

And a better man than the Repo's think.
