Very interesting pics. Thanks for posting them. I like American history. Reagan was the first president I really remember. I was very young when Ford and Carter were in office. Reagan was very popular and had the support and respect of the vast majority of the USA population, if not the world. We desperately need another president like that, now more than ever! Currently I've never seen the country so divided on so many issues. Not good. :(

Ronald Ragan Kicked a$$, I am with Gary he is the first president I really remember. He was a great American and made America feel proud about ourselves. He didnt take any crap and told it like it was. None of this touchy feely crap today afraid to hurt someones feelings.

Now before we get all teary eyed over old Reagan don't forget ALL the money he wasted, billions, yes with a B, billions on the "Just Say No" debacle.:rolleyes: Every Prez had or has problems and he did too. Yay, politics.:D
Cool to see his family home, I'd have checked it out if I was there. I've been to Eisenhower's, L.B. Johnson's and two Teddy Roosevelt homes... I think I'm forgetting someone too.

Oooh, politics, sort of. First, they didn't spend billions on "just say no", and.... drug use declined as a result. Reagan did a lot of good as president, but his biggest failure was taking the Dems word on spending cuts. Like today, it's the democrats in congress that are bankrupting the country. Reagan didn't pick that fight, and maybe he should have. Same with GWB.

As a kid, I remeber Nixon, and respected a lot of what he did, Watergate excluded. Ford was respectable, but didn't have a chance in hell of getting any real work done. Carter was a disaster, his term had no usable effect, other than getting Reagan elected with a 49 state landslide (Or if you're Obama, 56 state landslide). GHWB was good but was a foreign policy man. I have no respect for Clinton, and can write volumes on why. I have almost as much respect for GWB as Reagan, because he didn't obsess over legacy. And I think Obama will cost us a decade to fix the messes he continually and whole heartedly causes. The Titanic experienced "change", as did Hiroshima and the Hindenburg.
