In this presidential election season, it is easy to get caught up in the partisan politics along with the rest of the world. Name-calling, mud-slinging, and sometimes even flat-out lying are all, sadly, a part of the process and show no signs of going away. It makes one ponder, why would anyone want to be President of the United States if this is how they have to get the job?
I set aside a few nights recently to reflect on some of our more memorable presidents of the past hundred years: Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt; Ronald Reagan; and Bill Clinton. Two Democrats, two Republicans. We have already covered the Roosevelts and the Clintons. And now, the Great Communicator .. the Gipper .. Ronald Reagan.
