@Robohump Obama has observed that the Reagan presidency fundamentally changed the course of American politics. That's not necessarily praise. Re that ridiculous dead animal on Reagan's head: if you want to believe that a withered, droopy old man had a thick growth of lustrous dark hair and an even square hairline well into his 70s and 80s, well, whatever delusion gets you hard is your business ...

@Robohump You can interpret your scattered, cherry-picked fragments as praise, Sparky, if it gets you hard. If it gets you harder, you can also believe a 93-year-old geezer has the same hair color and hairline he had as a 20-year-old. Far be it from me to disturb your fapping fantasies. Btw, it's not Mike Walla. It's Mike Walla Walla.  And I suppose you think Mike Walla Walla's hair is natural too, right Sparky?

@bc9021010001 I tells you a lot about the man that he repeatedly claimed he never died his hair.

@TheUsman2000 Hey UsMan, I'm still here? Looks like you ran away...

@ocdave99 I quite clearly remember the press discussing it in coded terms such as "He's detached."

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

People were saying he was senile throughout his whole presidency... no big shock here...

Reagan's overall approval ratings were below Clinton's and not even close to people like JFK or even LBJ.

And yeah he did change politics for the worse, thanks to Reagan illegal union firings went off the spectrum because his administration decided not to enforce the law, leading to the demise of private sector unions in the US.

Could switching to GEICO really save you 15 percent or more on car insurance? Did Ronald Reagan have Alzheimer's while he was President?

As the old saying goes, "Is the Pope Catholic? "

[buyfarmfresheggs]

If repeating yourself and hesitating means you have Alzheimer's, then I respectfully submit that Obama has a terminal case

[bluejay02920]

I admire Reagan but think he did have alzheimers.

@Robohump Don't refer to me as "my friend." I would never be friends with somebody calling herself "robohump."

@theBOURN3idiot The truth will set you free. What is this "America" you speak of? Corporate colonial empire wielding worthless currency, with a death squad military enforcing its rule worldwide including among its gullible slave citizens? Wake up, knob.
