At least Reagan was willing to work across the aisle with guys like Tip O'Neil.

Like his policies or not, Reagan was likeable, as he really understood the essence of communication and persuasion. He was als an oprimist, and that inspired people. Clinton knew this too. So does obama. Today's Reagan disciples don't get it. They're all mean, negative and narcissistic. As a result, they're creating a hate-filled society. Reagan would never approve.
