Reagan was an exceedingly likeable guy, just a heck of a nice fellow, despite his politics. He was funny and loved a good joke, the dirtier, I'm afraid the more ethnic, the better. I don't think he brought very much to the presidency, except charisma and success.
Walter Cronkite
Image
Reagan is both too fatalistic and too modest to be a crudaser. He doesn't have that darkness around the eyes of a George McGovern.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
Image
Reagan won because he was real. He believed in America. He told people he was gonna make it great again coming out of a disastrous four years of Jimmy Carter and Watergate before that.
Rush Limbaugh
Image
Reagan has very significant things to teach us - positive lessons and quite negative lessons.
Eugene Jarecki
Image
Reagan, people claimed, was too old to run for president and to be elected. But he proved himself such a vigorous campaigner in the primary system that he overcame those beliefs.
Geoffrey Cowan
Image
Reagan is the Republican FDR, an exemplar of presidential greatness.
Jon Meacham
Image
Reagan and Bush... made the world safe for hypocrisy.
Julia Phillips
Image
Reagan won because he ran against Jimmy Carter. If he ran unopposed he would have lost.
Mort Sahl
Image
Reagan was extreme. Beginning of his administration, one of the first things was to call in scabs - hadn't been done for a long time, and it's illegal in most countries - in the air controller strike.
Noam Chomsky
Image
Reagan bankrupted the Soviet Union by increasing armaments.
Norman Mailer
Image
Reagan is the only man to take the presidency as a part-time job, a means of filling up the otherwise empty hours of retirement.
Simon Hoggart
Image
Reagan has conducted an arms race on earth, boomed Mondale. A race generally implies two parties. The Soviets contributed a little bit to this problem, if Mondale had not noticed.
Hugh Sidey
Image
Reagan didn't put anything off the table, if he felt it was for the good of the American people to tweak the tax system.
Alan K. Simpson
Image
Reagan's dead, and he was a lousy President.
Keith Olbermann
Image
Reagan didn't socialize with the press. He spent his evenings with Nancy, watching TV with dinner trays. But he knew that to transcend, you can't condescend.
Maureen Dowd
Image
Reagan survived the Iran-Contra scandal because the elements of it that were illegal (aiding anti-communist Nicaraguans) were popular and the things that were unpopular (arming the Iranians) were quite legal.
David Frum
Image
Reagan loved and respected his father, Jack Reagan. But if there was a father figure to Reagan in the religious sense, it was Ben Cleaver. What Reagan's father didn't provide spiritually, from a fatherly point of view, Cleaver did.
Paul Kengor
Image
Reagan thought that school prayer was important because it was crucial to begin each day reminding students that their inalienable rights came to them from their Creator and not from government bureaucrats.
Paul Kengor
Image
Reagan was conservative, but he didn't approach global management with an unbending religious zeal.
Randall Robinson
Image
I consider Ronald Reagan one of the greatest U.S. presidents since the World War II because of his staunch resistance to Communism and his efforts to defend human rights.
Yelena Bonner
Image
Every year when I put away my winter clothes and get out my summer clothes, they fit. And I haven't been on a diet since the Reagan administration.
Victoria Moran
Image
You have got to be careful quoting Ronald Reagan, because when you quote him accurately it is called mudslinging.
Walter F. Mondale
Image
Carter's hopes died when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and he ended up having to reverse policy and launch the military buildup that Reagan continued. Mr. Obama would be forced back into a war on terror if terrorist groups pull off enough damaging or frightening attacks to force this issue to the fore.
Walter Russell Mead
Image
Although Ronald Reagan was somebody I disagreed with on most ideological things, he was a friend of mine, and he was a very, very likable man. Ronald Reagan, for instance, was maybe more able to get the very rich to do the right thing sometimes.
