5. I'm not asking the worst
Worse - as a comparison.

I knew OF Reagan, but not really what American life was like under him.

I can't imagine anyone worse than Bush, and since Reagan was like the pioneer of the Bush crowd, it makes for a easy comparison.

But obviously America has seen darker periods, historically.

3. Reagan was a nightmare
And there was a lot of blood spilled, but Bush has spilled much, much more already.

7. sheesh
the depression. By comparison Bush and Reagan years are wonderful.

Don't diminish either the depression or WWII. It's what sets FDR apart from Reagan and Bush. FDR had real problems to solve.

For the same reason Lincoln is so loved, he lived in interesting times.
