Whats with the deification of Reagan?
I don’t understand the effusive praise that everyone, everywhere has for Ronald Reagan. It’s almost as if the nation has collectively forgotten his $4 trillion in debt, the 29 convictions of members of his administration, the Iran-Contra scandal for which he should have been impeached, his falling asleep at cabinet meetings, his failure to read briefings, his failure to recognize members of his cabinet when he met them in public and his empty promises of a balanced budget while never actually submitting one. The guy had a train wreck of a presidency, glowing only in comparison to George W. Bush. Then again, without Reagan, we never could have had a George W. Bush presidency. If Mitt Romney doesn’t “love Reagan enough”, then good for him.
