Yeah, I think Reagan is way too vilified by the lefties, but at the same
time, probably too deified by the righties. But he was exactly what the country needed in a leader in 1980/81 coming out of the malaise of the 70s. Some of my good memories and impressions of Reagan are probably partly nostalgia. He's the first president I really had an impression of while I was a kid. I was alive for Carter, Ford and Nixon, and I can remember the Carter / Ford 1976 presidential race, but most of my impression of Carter comes from video clips I've see as an adult. Thinking of Reagan as president brings me back to the carefree days of 5th grade through HS.
