Obama versus Regan's Legacy
President Reagan has a soft spot in my heart because I grew up hearing from my family that he was motivated to keep government small and effective. His role in the Cold War was a strong stance that earned the Soviet Leader Gorbachev's respect. Reagan supported Republican Barry Goldwater in a powerful way as to raise $1M in funding (of course Goldwater lost, but Reagan was respected). His birthday is February 6th, the day I went into the Missionary Training Center to serve a church mission in Tahiti. Also, my husband's name is Regan so I explain his name by "spell it like the comedian (Brian Regan), pronounce it like the president". Known as "the Great Communicator", Reagan inspired trust and appreciation in many American citizens.
Almost 25 years after he left office, Ronald Reagan is still considered one of the most effective, respected presidents in US History. He's a standard of success against which successive presidents have been measured.

Reagan is nicknamed the "Teflon" president because nothing bad ever stuck to him.

Transformational presidents change the conversation. Transformational presidents deliver great lines. Transformational presidents poach followers from the enemy's camp. Transformational presidents become beloved figures.
"What Obamacare proves is that governments can't do big projects well," Nichols says. "Had the rollout gone smoothly, had they been more honest about how many were going to be losing coverage, he might have moved the ball."
"Reagan was a master at persuading people who didn't normally vote Republican to vote for him in such great numbers that a new term was invented: Reagan Democrats."
"The Obama legacy will be less about government and politics, and more about the fact that he was the first African-American president, proving the American Dream is alive and well," says Ed Uravic, a former Washington lobbyist.
