Ronald Reagan

John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson were both very different men, but they were similar in some ways. Obviously, they both ran as president of the United States. They both ran in the same political party of democrats. Johnson a Texas democrat and Kennedy from Massachusetts. They both exelled in debates too. Johnson was deeply into debate through highschool and college and took part in regional debate competitions. Kennedy's debating, which was the first presidential debates aired on television, was a major of the reason he beat Nixon in the election. Of course people who listened on the radio said that Nixon would have won, which leads to the fact that some of Kennedy's votes were from how he appeared on the debate showing.

Ronald Reagan: The 'Great Communicator'

Ronald Regan was 6'1" (183cm), and weighed approximately 180 -184 lbs. (81 - 83Kg)/ Although I have NO statistics to provide there is anecdote supporting the notion that Reagan was significantly shorter than 6'1" more in the 5'9" range, look at pictures with Regan and other people who are taller, people who have been photo'd with George H.W. Bush who is 6'3". ..

<<They where both Presidents....That's about it... >>

Can't expect an intelligent answer from somebody who can't even spell "were".

President Reagan, rescued the United States from the inflation and economic recession of the Carter years. By bluffing the Soviet Union into believing we had a "Starwars" antimissile shield, we won the cold war which lead to the freedom of eastern Europe and Russia. Reagan restored pride in the country and through "Reaganomics" lead this country in a period of unequalled economic growth.

Carter, gave away the Panama Canal, allowed foreign immigrants who never paid into Social Security to receive benefits. (Leading to the near collapse of the system). Carter started the Community Reinvestment Act which essentially forced mortgage companies to loan money to people who could not afford nor qualify for a mortgage. (This partly why we have the problems we have today). Carter established the Department of Energy which costs us $billions to get us off of foreign oil, a total failure. To improve schools he grew the government by establishing the Department of Education which costs us $billions and once again a miserable failure.

Ronald Reagan ordered an invasion of Granada in 1983.

By all accounts from historians, the two genuinely admired and respected each other and had a solid friendship. She was given a special invitation for the the dedication of the Reagan Library.

The Strategic Defense Initiative (often nicknamed "Star Wars") was pushed by U.S. President Ronald Regan. The idea was to launch a series of satellites that could detect and destroy with lasers any intercontinental missiles that might be launched against the US . Reagan loved the idea even thought most experts thought it would take 20 years or more to realize, if it could be done at all.

The Star Wars nickname came from the very popular Star Wars movies that were being shown in theaters at time.

Reaganomics (identified with the 40th President, from 1981 to 1989) was referred to as "supply side" economics (or the critical label trickle down) because its primary aim was to increase capital and capital expenditures, intending to fight a slowing economy and eventually increase government revenue. The policies were centered on large, broad tax cuts and smaller cuts in the spending budgets for social programs.

The primary feature of Reaganomics is that you probably know what's good for you better than some politician does. So you should spend your own money for things that YOU think you need, rather than letting the government take your money in taxes and spend it on whatever THEY think you ought to have.

Because this lets you keep your own money and prevents politicians from raising taxes (which would allow politicians to spend money on themselves and their friends), most politicians disapprove of Reaganomics, and are willing to tell you any lie to make you disapprove of it, too.

Ronald Reagan believed that by lowering taxes, he could increase government revenue. History proved him wrong on that point. He also believed that making the rich even richer would somehow benefit everyone, and history proved him wrong on that point, too.

The U.S. has never struck a half dollar in gold. Among other reasons, it would have to be about 4 mm in diameter because gold is much more valuable than silver. You almost certainly have an ordinary coin that was plated by someone as a novelty. As such it's considered to be an altered coin and is worth only its silver content, about $6.

They gained national attention by:

The police let dogs out to the protesters and suddenly it got the national attention

That policy is called the 'containment policy'. It led to the US involvement in the Korean and Vietnam wars, among others.

a strong military and tough foreign policy

President Reagan promised to cut spending and cut taxes, while increasing the defense budget and balancing the budget. This was known as "Reagonomics." However the national debt began to rise when defense spending outweighed cuts in social programs.

The oldest man to be elected as U.S. President was Ronald Reagan who was elected at the age of 69. He turned 70 three months later.

If John McCain is elected President then he will be the oldest at 73.

George Washington was the only US President without party affiliation.

Most historians would say that the cold war ended thanks to the cooperation of then-Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev with American President Ronald Reagan. Other people were also involved, but these two men were the main reason the animosity and mistrust between the Soviet Union and the United States ended.

He inherited a country in the middle of a recession from Jimmy Carter. After 2 years, President Regan turned it around and made the USA rich again, although the gap between the rich and poor increased. The deficit also increased, however the President of the USA does not have the power of the line item veto, so the Congress has to take some responsibility for the deficit as well.

Both events were secret attempts by the United States to undermine pro-Soviet governments.

Reagan stopped communism by letting it collapse. In the United States, he had a military build up. He showed strength, not weakness. He was ready for any problem. He would face any threat. On the other hand, he was ready to deal with Gorbachev with respect. In other words he followed the advice of Teddy Roosevelt, "Speak softy and carry a big stick." He was ready to fight but had no desire to fight. He was an actor playing Teddy Roosevelt. The whole world recognized that attitude. Then, he expressed what Eastern Europe was feeling when he said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." He did not threaten but requested. The people of Eastern Europe arose as a group and threw off the Russian yolk. Russia had been able to deal with one country in the past. It could not deal with the entire Warsaw Pact at once. By speaking softly with TR's stick in reserve Reagan stopped communism. Reagan knew how to play the part of TR.

Alternatively, you could say that he was prepared to bring about nuclear Armageddon so the Soviets wisely backed down. However, this is very unlikely.

He created the Reagan Doctrine --- Apex

No: He might well have had good reason for wanting its removal, but I do not think he was instrumental in making it fall. It fell because the Russians had no further use for it: Russian foreign policy had had to change, it was far too expensive.
