Ronald Reagan, Astrology Buff

Here we learn about the Reagan White House's dependency on an astrologer for making decisions of National import. It doesn't help the Republican myth of Ronnie being a "Great President." Ronald Reagan was NOT a Great President. Ronald Reagan was a mediocre movie actor *Portraying* a Great President.

Umm.. it was actually just his wife that had any sort of belief in Astrology. Reagan himself was a firm Christian believer and actually had a moral standard, unlike many presidents these days. He's also probably one of the strongest presidents we've ever had. (either him or Coolidge) And of course the media is going to try to demean him; they do that to any president that has ever stepped in office. It's going to happen anyways.

Reagan was a puppet and a clown. The passionately ill-informed Reagan Myth shows how idiotic Republicans are, and how oblivious they are to facts, and history. Reagan raised taxes, gave amnesty to illegal aliens, and would be considered a Liberal by today's Limbaugh-Approved standards. Republicans only see the packaging, and are easily duped by shiny, simplistic bumper sticker jingoism, and should not be allowed to vote or operate heavy machinery.

I think Obama and the other far-left radicals in today's White House might want to pull a page from Reagan's play book. More jobs and wealth were created during the Reagan years than any other time in history.

Our ADHD president can't seem to focus on one thing at a time. Although he did a really swell job begging on his summer apology tour.

When you say "far left" you completely negate your credibility. Are you so dependent on O'Reilly that you can't make up your own epithets? Reagan was a disaster for the American economy, creating deficits rivalled only by Bush I and II. Just look at the facts. Obama is a closet Republican, and is beyond defending, but apologies to the world are in order, apologies that we as a nation spawned the disgrace of Republicanism ~ pig-ignorant arrogance wrapped in half-witted John Birch talking points.

Yes, everyone is susceptible to superstitions. Look at the amount of Christians in the world. One person's superstition is another's religion. One is just as valid as the other.

[oldnewsclipster]

I'd agree with that, and add that a superstition is fine until its rituals start to impinge on others, like the Spanish Inquisition or death-worshipping Jihadists...

Well, I am glad the Reagan's did not use the Ouija board.

How do Reagan fanboys make their way to this video anything but humbled?

This is fuckin hysterical, I'm sorry.

@SocialistDemokrat You're wrong,  whatever RR did during his presidency doesn't end when he left the office. RR was a big proponent of deregulation industries and in his second term he did just that. Assigning Greenspan as chairman of NY Fed who deregulated financial industry starting in 1987. No one felt the affect of this till financial crisis in 2008 with 111 banks failing in 2 years. Next time you throw stats out don't forget to mention the biggest financial disaster in US history.

I found his astrologers book at a cheap used book store, and it isn't an issue that reagan consulted as astrology, the problem is that the one he picked was a blatant quack.

@1985andalive You need to go back a lot further than that, to place the blame. Try going back to 1909 or even further to 1861. All the Presidents including Lincoln have been involved with what we are dealing with today. It's called incrementalism. Straight out of the play book from Karl Marx. The elite bankers have controlled every President we have had, at least, since the Civil War.
