The man's presidency was monstrous from start to finish.

No US president is lower, in my esteem, than Ronald Reagan.

Iran Contra and some other things going on in 87. He was a huge liar who was shielded and a lot of people knew it. Too bad more of these people did not go to jail. Don't forget about all the cabinet and dept scandals with his style of management.

I couldn't stand Reagan's voice, it made me physically ill. Had to leave the room every time he came on TV and pretended to be president. With George W. I wanted to drive him way out into the wilderness, blindfold him, spin him around a dozen times, and leave him there, hope he never found his way back.

Iran-Contra should have meant impeachment and the end for Ronnie, but I guess it could never be proven that he wasn't napping while Oliver North was running the country's foreign policy.

Reagan was so gone by that point he probably didn't know what the fuck was going on. Now H.W. Bush? Guilty as fucking sin.
