| Source:Wikipedia- Ronald W. Reagan (Republican, California) 40th President of the United States. |
"Ronald Wilson Reagan (/ˈreɪɡən/ RAY-gən; February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was an American politician who served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989 and became a highly influential voice of modern conservatism. Prior to his presidency, he was a Hollywood actor and union leader before serving as the 33rd governor of California from 1967 to 1975.
Reagan was raised in a low-income family in small towns of northern Illinois. He graduated from Eureka College in 1932 and worked as a radio sports commentator. After moving to California in 1937, he found work as an actor and starred in a few major productions. As president of the Screen Actors Guild, Reagan worked to root out alleged communist influence. In the 1950s, he moved into television and was a motivational speaker at General Electric factories. In 1964, his speech "A Time for Choosing" earned him national attention as a new conservative spokesman. Building a network of supporters, Reagan was elected governor of California in 1966. As governor, he raised taxes, turned a state budget deficit to a surplus, challenged the protesters at UC Berkeley, and ordered in National Guard troops during a period of protest movements."

To be frank: this page is not about kissing Ronald Reagan's ass or trying to kick his ass, but to give you and honest and factual analysis about our 40th President of the United States. Which includes all the good like presiding and contributing to ending the Cold War with Russia, as well as being the most successful Conservative President that we've ever had.
But also the negative aspects of the Reagan Presidency as it related to him fathering supply side economics, all the deficits and debt that President Reagan piled up, and the advancement of the War on Drugs in America that we're still paying for and trying to deal with as a country.
