Looks like Reagan was looked upon as a horrible President during his time in office, but in the future, he is now looked upon as a hero. I'm not saying that President Bush could be looked upon as a hero in the future, as he is nothing like a Reagan, but it's possible that the increase in security and our military may be looked upon as a positive thing in the near future.. | |

I don't think his reputation with people have changed...especially in time when we have had such a long republican rule.
Bush is the poorest in world relations. He has not had one peace summit. I wonder why? In addition, the cloaked in secrets under which he operates opens the door for questions as to the length of time Iraq was a plan waiting to happen, the fact his brother Neil made millions on the defunct No Child Left Behind Act he signed by having the ONLY CD available for the test....too many crooked things going on to NOT be looked upon as a bad president, IMHO. Reagan had his Iran / Contra scandal. Never cleared his name NOR his reputation. | |

If we had left Iraq after the capture of Saddam, we would probably be better off as a country. I don't know why he wants to continue this war...Well, sure..to build a democracy over in Iraq. But seriously...why bother? When or if we are finished..what happens if there newly constructed government chooses not to be our ally?? | |

As for Reagan, he was in idiot in my opinion. He put on a good show, but bankrupted us in the process. Laffer curves and ketchup as a vegetable are some of his more memorable moments. | |
