Reagen and the way he's perceived today pisses me off. He wasn't a hero. He didn't end the cold war. The USSR was collapsing on itself, wasn't sustainable, and that's what won it. Also, Carter got a shitty deal, with the release of the hostages not being announced till after Reagan won.
Carter is an amazing ex-president, he and Rosalyn have done so much good work. Someone to look up to, for sure.
yeah, there some other socio-cultural things, possiblely also some tech thing ( i don't remeber what i heard) that also had to do with the SU (USSR for the real youg'ins ) i heard a bit of a lecture on it!
Carter & Rosilyn have done some great stuff. Clinton has done some good stuff too. He was too neo-liberal for me at times but other stuff was good, great.
For better & worse Lyndon Johnson had the temperment to get things done in Congress like the War on Poverty...
i have heard but only from one radio person that Pres Obama was furious at Reid.
See i rememer some of the Liberal Republicans ! pon a state and city level i worked in campaigns for 2 that had more liberal policies than the 2 (then) conservative Democrats that were running! Before I had the right to vote.
