Great actor?????

I think you are stretching waaaaaaaaayy too far!

He has only ONE role in his life the World will remember him for:
The President of the United States.

Joe, explain what a trade deficit is, and why you think it's important.[/b][/quote]
...and before you answer Buff,
check the Trade Deficit numbers for the Unites States during the Great Depression

So if Schwarzenegger makes the White House one day, when he dies do you think he'll be remembered for his acting skills?

yes....much more than for his presidential skills
;-)))

One thing I heard about Reagan was that he would NEVER take off his jacket in the Oval Office. To him it was disrespectful...

I doubt he ever got a blowjob while sitting at that desk. <_<

Glad I got you guys talking. :)

Dravyk,

Dude I love you man, and I respect your right to despise Reagan's politics (as wrong as you might be) but come on!

Reagan helped America believe in "America" at a time when that's the one thing we needed most.

Regardles of whether or not you believe the reteric, he got people behind the message, that we were truly the greatest country on the planet!

Say what you want about the politics (and I don't blame you) but right or wrong he let this country back to the promised land!

Something no other president has done since!

We will miss you Mr. Reagan, more than most people will ever know...

Spice, how are you doing? :)

As for Ronnie, look buddy, I have not been that hard on him at all you may have noticed.

Yes, he did a lot of good. Not knocking it. He did (IMHO) a lot of bad. And I really haven't pushed that either. Like most folks, he's grey. I don't know of a single conservative nor a single liberal nor a single "middle of the road" pol who was perfect or who was 100% this or that.

I give Reagan his due on the things that he did right. (No pun there on the word Right, btw! hehe)

I agree his lavish spending and arms build up was the right idea at the time and that aggressive policy caused the end of the Cold War. (I also agree it was one of the most frightening times I can remember, when sometimes the rheteroic on all sides was so hot it seemed we might be on the brink of nuclear war.)

I also agree the man had balls and right or wrong he made tough decisions others wouldn't and he kept to his guns. I respect him for that.

I'm not going to say I loved every decision he made. He left us some good things and some bad in his legacy. I'm all for focusing on the good. But I'm not going to be deluded into thinking he was perfect, nor will I ignore the bad.

Isn't that fair? If not, tough beans. :)

It would take an amendment to the constitution to allow Arnold to become President because he's an immigrant. He'd more likely be remembered for that more so than anything he did before or after.
