It would be more accurate to say he didn't care for the movement that the man represented.
Reagan could be entertaining at times. He was an amiable chap.

I also have a negative reaction to him, but can remember Cher being asked hers
after she had met him: HE'S GOT HIS SHIT TOGETHER.

He sure did. Did an excellent job of inspiring every young, aspiring businessman in the '80s to turn into Gordon Gekko. In 1980 we still had a LOT of industry left. Now all of the selfish punks have done whatever it takes to feed their own greed; downsizing, outsourcing, union busting.........

Now we are a nation of "brownfields" and low wage jobs.

Thanks, Ron. You were a real pal.
