Last two books I read: Blind Mans Bluff - Wheels of Terror
Your favorite US President of all time, and why: Ron Reagan - he is the reason I am a republican. As a young man I saw the damage a liberal can cause to our country. Mr Reagan turned that all around and made us proud to be american.
Your favorite US President of the 20th Century, and why: In the years I grew up Ron Reagan would have to be my choice again.I grew up around union democrats and he opened my eyes to the big government abuses.
Your LEAST favorite US President of the 20th Century, and why: Jimmy Carter was the worst but I believe our Current Pesident is making a strong case. Obama's policies on just about everything have proven to be inept if not damaging to the country. And insists on keeping these policies alive or doubling down as it were.
