He still seems to be a fairly divisive person to this day, but maybe that's just my perspective.
Let's see 2 LANDSLIDE victories in Presidential Elections, was a good enough President that his Vice President (George H.W. Bush) was not hurt in his run for President which he also won by a large margin, and his approval ratings were some of the highest ever. Added to which he achieved tangible goals such as ending the Cold War. Sure he wasn't "The Perfect" President, but nobody has been, Washington made mistakes, FDR made mistakes, and so did Reagan, but the key to being a good leader is being resiliant and being strong in the face of adversity.....Reagan did those as good as anyone else has. Reagan made a lot of people PROUD to be Americans.....I can't say Obama has done that.
