DONATELLI: The 40th president's legacy: 'Not bad at all' - Washington Times

DONATELLI: The 40th president's legacy: 'Not bad at all' - Washington Times

It is rare that a contemporary political figure would generate such acclaim so soon after his time in office. The public judges President Ronald Reagan to have been one of the great presidents of the 20th century - indeed, one of the greatest of all time. Even professors are coming around. Though they’re not as enthusiastic as the public at large, a poll of academicians conducted by Young America's Foundation found that 61 percent considered Reagan’s tenure to have been “mostly a success,” as opposed to 59 percent who felt that way about the “Chosen One,” Barack Obama.

I think there are several reasons why the Reagan legacy wears so well.
