Do you think he was a good US President?

Growing up, yes. Now? No. He had many qualities that I loathe.

Someone posted a thoughtful writeup on Reagan in another thread. Let me see if I can find the link.

His best accomplishment, in my opinion, was communicating modern conservative ideology to the nation. He fundamentally changed the mindset of the country in the way we think about the nature of government, something that hadn't been done since The Great Society. He was the last transformative president we've had, which is why Bush and Obama have sought to emulate him.

He's probably the closest thing we've had to a Saturday morning cartoon villain as a president.

Good president? Sure. That doesn't mean he was perfect though.

Up until college, I was convinced that Reagan was literally retarded- based on what I'd seen on TV and heard from my family. It was much later when I realized he was actually quite savvy.
