Nope.
Only what happens on their watch. But then, I've always been a fan of the President who said, "The Buck stops here", while you've always been a fan of the President who said, "I can't recall." :-)

Now about Harry we can talk...
...aside from some of his foreign policy decisions...he had good intentions and did some very good things.
RR is historically (so far) held as a great President. Its not me...and alot is made of "Reaganomics"...when all that really happened was a massive cut in taxes (which increased revenue). The debt came, IMO, from spending the USSR into oblivion...and while it has created some middle term issues (paying down the debt)...you have to wonder if it wasn't worth it to eliminate the Soviet system as an enemy to the US. That part of history hasn't been written yet.
You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! Laurie Anderson

Concur in spades. That was his exclusive goal. If our borrowing ability had any bound, we would be in as bad a shape as Russia is now. I don't think that made us stronger. I'm also a little too anti-imperialist to think it is our place to decide what countries exist.

Remember, people in 1900 didn't know what an atom was. They didn't know its structure.
They also didn't know what a radio was, or an airport, or a movie, or a television, or a computer, or a cell phone, or a jet, an antibiotic, a rocket, a satellite, an MRI, ICU, IUD, IBM, IRA, ERA, EEG, EPA, IRS, DOD, PCP, HTML, internet. interferon, instant replay, remote sensing, remote control, speed dialing, gene therapy, gene splicing, genes, spot welding, heat-seeking, bipolar, prozac, leotards, lap dancing, email, tape recorder, CDs, airbags, plastic explosive, plastic, robots, cars, liposuction, transduction, superconduction, dish antennas, step aerobics, smoothies, twelve-step, ultrasound, nylon, rayon, teflon, fiber optics, carpal tunnel, laser surgery, laparoscopy, corneal transplant, kidney transplant, AIDS... None of this would have meant anything to a person in the year 1900. They wouldn't know what you are talking about.
