Upon close inspection, and with full knowledge of some of the more nefarious "goings on" during the Reagan years, his Presidency definitely was not all that I grew up thinking it was.
I doubt that any of them really are.
However, I think it would be extremely interesting to know how many of some of these deeds were "administration" vs. "presidential". Although the buck stops with the President, it would be interesting to know how many "disasters" of the past were actually the result presidential action as opposed to some stupid underling making an error or a decision out of their pay grade.

What about the call boy scandal during Reagan's term? And his response to thr the AIDS epidemic. He was a prick.
