So when does Reagan go up on Mount Rushmore?

[alonelychild]

Oh my God! 24:32 of wisdom and rightousness!

Thank God, Thank the American People he was elected in 1980 and re-elected in 1984!

[1954btq]

Really? Bottom 5? Don't know much about our presidents then. Look at Pierce, Buchanan, Dubya for starters. And who started the nonsense about Obama on Rushmore? I'd suggest you are simply paranoid at worse and Faux News crazy at best

[phantomsuccour]

What a great American HERO!! Obama is a failure!

[ringbolt9]

born in 62 agree 100 %

[JordanClunn]

The birth of a legend.

[W Rawal]

Love this man....I was 3 when he was elected but spent my childhood adoring him and how happy he made my parents! It wasn't until I was around 12-13 years old that I began to truly understand conservatism vs. liberalism and Reagan became my own personal hero!

[donde2k]

"...to once again see honor placed above political expediency;

to see government once again the protector of our liberties,

not the distributor of gifts and privilege. Government should uphold

and not undermine those institutions which are custodians of the very values

upon which civilization is founded: religion, education, and, above all, family.

Government cannot be clergyman, teacher, and parent;

it is our servant, beholden to us."

Today, we must all be like Ronald Reagan, and fight.

[Kelly Justus]

did you hear on the news that they want to put Obama on Mount Rushmore? Reagan is in my top 5 and Obama is in the bottom 5. maybe the worst one we ever had

[mikefan09]

best president of the 80s! and, of the late half of the 20th century.

[bryanpeace121]

NEVER!

[thizzle7xu]

I know. Scary how similar 2012 is to 1980...
