We really don't pay attention, do we? If we did, Ronald Reagan would come no where near to being judged the "greatest president ever."
Poll: Americans say Reagan the best president, favor George W. Bush to Thomas Jefferson
By David Edwards

Who is the greatest president in the history of the United States? If you're asking a random sampling of Americans, as the Gallup polling firm recently did, it would be none other than Ronald Reagan.
A recent Gallup survey found that at 19 percent, Reagan topped the list for the third time in 12 years. President Abraham Lincoln came in second at 14 percent, followed by President Bill Clinton at 13 percent.
President John F. Kennedy rounded out fourth at 11 percent, and President Barack Obama came in seventh, at five percent.
Amazingly enough, President George W. Bush was chosen by just two percent, placing him in 10th: one spot ahead of President Thomas Jefferson, an influential member of the nation's founders.

This foolishness is what comes of not paying attention to history. Reagan, an unindicted criminal along with his VP, and rapist of the country's economy is superior to either of the Roosevelts, Washington, Lincoln, Eisenhower and Clinton, among others? I think not!

Reagan? The guy who said that he was going to lower taxes and then had eleven tax increases? The guy who said he was going to fix the economy and then ran deficits in every budget? The guy who tripled the national debt? The guy who said he wanted to make government so small that you could strangle it in a bathtub, and then grew the civil service to even larger proportions?
Short memories these people have.
But given a choice between him and dumbdumb dubya, RR would get my vote hands down, no contest. He also wanted to rid the world of nuclear weapons and had a more radical START plan than anyone since. And he cleared up the illegal immigrant problem by granting amnesty to about 3 million of them.
