What Makes A Good President

     Before he was officially in politics, President Reagan was still very involved in the political process. Reagan started his life as a Democrat. Reagan’s father, a staunch Democrat, influenced Reagan

Ronald Reagan was an inspirational speaker who planted hope in the minds of Americans through his speeches. He echoed throughout the streets of this democracy what true revolutionary ideas were. His ideas and beliefs rang true within the hearts of our fellow country-men as proven by his landslide second term victory. One of his most famous speeches, his First Inaugural Address, was spoken when he won the race for Presidency in 1980. President Reagan wanted to inspire the American people and inform them of how he planned to run the United States of America. He was not only speaking to his fellow citizens, but

Ronald Reagan, a member of the republican party, served as the 40th president of the united states from 1981-1989. In 1980, Reagan was elected, then inaugurated on January 20, 1981. Surprisingly, from 1937 to 1965 Reagan was an actor. From 1967-75 he was the governor of California (Miller Center). Reagan was a very controversial president who made impressive decisions that aided in ending a war and helped the American economy grow. He also made some poor choices like the Intra-Contra Affair and his plans for the military.

Ronald Reagan had a lasting positive impact on the United States that is, in some ways, still affecting us today. Up to the very end of his life, Ronald Reagan proudly served his country and the Lord.

Before his career as an actor Ronald Reagan was a part of the US Army Reserve, while in the reserve, he was called to duty just after the Pearl Harbor. He served the army form the year of 1942 to the year of 1945. During his service he arose the the rank of Captain, even though he never had any part in combat situations. Although he never had experienced combat, he stayed stateside and narrated the training films and was in the Army Air Force’s First Motion Picture Unit. (Ronald Reagan)

The United Sates was in trouble. It was a time of crisis after the Carter era. America was in a state of economic and moral despair. Foreign threats were emerging. The country needed not only a new president, but an influential hero. To truly solidify a place in history as a hero, a president has to take control and address the problems facing the country. Ronald Reagan was one of the most influential presidents of all time because he renewed the American spirit through his unique vision, advanced and protected democracy and capitalism, and stimulated economic growth and development.

Ronald Reagan: Presidential Prodigy Throughout history, many men and women have came to power in order to rule and govern a nation of people. Many have succeeded, but there has also been many failures. In the case of the United States, we have a man or women in power based upon the view of the people. The job of President of the United States is no easy task and few men have been able to successfully stand up to the challenge. Ronald Reagan is one of the greatest president of all time because he implemented personal life characteristics, intense military tactics and geopolitical successes, and instilled a broad feeling of nationalism which set him apart from others before him.

Ronald Regan brought nothing but hope into America when it was needed the most. He led the great comeback. He made something impossible look so easy. He made everyone who doubting him rethink their statement. Reagan inspired America. On that day he kicked off his campaign, and throughout his presidency, he challenged us to lift our sights. He assured us that every American is created with the rights to life and liberty. Our dream is coming alive in our minds and hearts in unique and wonderful ways. When Reagan said, “We are Americans!” it was his voice that proved to the people that this land was ours and nobody could take away our dream for this great land. That is why he was so determined to knock down barriers that prevented individuals from reaching their dreams, and America from achieving greatness.

Ronald Reagan was the 40th President of the United States. He was a conservative Republican with a fascinating life story that draws an illustration of the causes and effects of his evolving views and character. His administration saw disasters, turmoil, and scandals while also winning various victories that changed the course of history forever. Some of these include less nuclear weaponry in the world and the end of the Cold War. Unfortunately, there were also some problems such as the infamous Iran-Contra Affair, and the theory of Reaganomics that was never quite able to be considered a real success for the majority of Americans. While he may not have been the best president, he is an interesting subject to learn from, analyze, and understand.

As president, Reagan worked to bring back American exceptionalism, boost the economy, and terminate Communism. A president who famously accomplished more than he set forth to do, while some presidents have slid by succeeding in broken promises. Regardless, Reagan accomplished more in his two

Growing up as a republican and being raised by republicans, my family still to this day talks about how Reagan changed America. Many agree that we have a more efficient and prosperous economy as a result of Reagan 's economic policies, foreign policy triumphs including a peaceful yet long end to the Cold War, and a restoration of American pride and morale. Proponents also preach that Reagan restored faith in the American Dream with his unabated and passionate love for the United States. It is because of this, that in my opinion, Ronald Reagan has been the most successful President in American History.

During the 1960s he officially became a Republican.In 1966 he went against Democrat Edmund Brown Sr. for governorship of California, and won by almost one million votes. In 1970, he was reelected as governor. In 1968 and 1976, Reagan was unable ] to win the nomination for president by the Republican party. However, in 1980 he was successful, and at age 69, he became the nation's oldest president. In March of 1981, a few months after his inauguration, he survived an assassination attempt by John Hinckley Jr., who suffered psychiatric problems. The bullet punctured one of Reagan's lungs and nearly missed his heart, but was back to work soon after. Ronald Reagans presidency is famous for the reduction of the federal government's control over its citizens. He is recognized for tax cuts which is known as “Reaganomics.” In his first term he had to make important decisions that would decide America's place in the Cold War against the Soviets. In his second term he signed an agreement with the leader of the Soviets which is recognized as settling the conflicts of the war. One of his famous speeches took place in Germany at the Berlin Wall. The famous line,“Tear down this wall.” from the speech challenged the Soviet leader and was taken down twenty nine months later and Germany was

Ronald Reagan was the fortieth president of the United States; he was loved and hated by many people. Sara Pendergast, author of the book U.X.L American Decades 1980-1989, writes,”Ronald Reagan captivated millions of Americans with the ability to communicate the need for values such as patriotism, religion, hard work, and self-reliance.” Ronald Reagan had many great accomplishments while he was president, but the biggest one was ending the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Another compelling person from the 1980’s was Bill Cosby, an actor and comedian. He helped break down racial barriers on T.V.

Over the course of American history we have had forty-four presidents who rose to meet the public demand. As with everything, there were presidents who did a great job leading the country and others who did a flat out terrible job. There are two presidents who stand out amongst the crowd as the best and worst presidents, they are Franklin D. Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.

Throughout our nation's history it has endured 43 presidents,some of them have been remembered as great men who served our country well and made it a better place. Others are more well known for the scandals they caused and others are hardly remembered at all. Despite the amount of presidents that we have had there has never been a president who stands out as the best president ever. Although there are two presidents from the post world war 2 era, each from two separate parties that I believed both had some of the skills to be the best president ever.
