Ronald Reagan

California Governor

David Stineman and some other people

Reagan liked sports, especially swimming, football and baseball. He also to ride horses. When he was single, he liked the night life. He really enjoyed his work- he always liked sports announcing, acting and he enjoyed reading and thinking about politics and government for many years before he ran for office.

Twenty-two million jobs were created during the Clinton administration.

Job creation data for each president since 1960, courtesy Wikipedia:

Kennedy-Johnson Administration: 5.9 million

LBJ administration: 9.9 million

Nixon's first term: 6.2 million

Nixon-Ford administration: 5.1 million

Carter administration: 10.3 million

Reagan administration (both terms): 16.1 million

Bush 41 administration: 2.6 million

Clinton administration (both terms): 22.7 million

Bush 43 administration: 1.95 million

Or put another way: From 1980 to the end of the Bush 43 administration, all three Republican presidents combined produced, over a period of 20 years, two million fewer jobs than Bill Clinton managed to eke out in eight. Kennedy and Johnson managed to produce 50 percent more jobs in four years than the Bushes did in twelve. (In Bush 43's first term he produced ten thousand jobs.) And as for Carter...the Republicans portray him as a president who could do nothing right, but in his four years he managed to produce nearly as many jobs as Reagan did in his second term--10.3m for Carter, 10.8m for Reagan. Even Eisenhower, one of the few Republican presidents I happen to like, was no good at job creation. His 3.5 million jobs created over eight years were far fewer than the 5.5 million Democrat Harry Truman produced in four. In percentage of increase, Eisenhower's record is similar to Reagan's first term.

Translation: Republicans really don't do this "job creation" thing very well.

If you want to go at it by percent of increase, the president with the best job creation rate in the last 40 years is the last guy you'd ever expect: Jimmy Carter, at 3.1 percent. He beat everyone on the list. He's in second place on the overall list--since they started keeping records in the Hoover administration, only FDR in his first term and FDR in his third term (FDR's second term is right up there with Kennedy and Clinton--not bad, but not over five percent like FDR did in his first and third terms) beat Carter.

Just hours after Ronald Reagan was sworn in, 52 Americans who were held as hostages in Iran were released. This lead to an allegation that a conspiracy with Iran was involved, however twelve years later the allegation was concluded to lack supporting documents. This is also commonly referred to as the October Surprise conspiracy theory.

Reagan strengthened the weak, ineffectual, and vulnerable military which Carter left behind. The Reagan administration funded research and development of weapons systems, including stealth technology and precision weaponry, later used in both Persian Gulf wars. Reagan's largest peacetime defense buildup in history, which included larger training ranges and military pay increases, helped invigorate the American military from its Vietnam War-era despondency.

Reagan's suspicion of the Soviet Union and its presumed activities around the world was tempered by a desire to leave some kind of legacy in arms control.

Ronald Reagan first entered politics in the 1950's. He started out as a Democrat, but switched to Republican after meeting his wife.

He enrolled in 1928 and graduated in 1932.

Hope this helps!

Taxes are reduced, so people have increased income to spend.

A couple of the large initiatives that he supported were the Strategic Defense Initiative and the Defense missile shield, which escalated government spending on defense.

69

On 5th June 2004, Ronald Reagan, died after having suffered from Alzheimer's disease for nearly a decade. His presidential term ended on 20th January 1989. So ill health seems to have forced him to step down from the presidential office.

Reagan was wounded in the upper chest by a bullet that had been deflected from the frame of the presidential limousine. John Hinckley, Jr. was not a very good shot, and the six rounds he managed to get off in the assassination attempt hit four different people. Reagan was actually hit "accidentally."
His name was John W. Hinckley.

They met in Geneva , Switzerland, November 19, 1985 , in October 11, 1986 in Reykjavik. Iceland and finally in Washington, December, 1987.

Nope never vice president Ronald Wilson Reagan was never vice president.

"Ronald used the name "Dutch" throughout most of his childhood because he disliked his given name and, according to legend, because Jack had said that his son looked like a "fat little Dutchman" when Ronald was born."

Republicans loved Ronald Reagan's economic and social policies. These led to the longest consecutive peace-time growth in American history, due to control on spending and across the board tax cuts. Liberals will often say that he only gave tax cuts to the rich but to people in all economic brackets.

Reagan actually was shot, by John Hinckley Jr., but he survived the attack and lived to a ripe old age, eventually dying of natural causes (Alzheimer's disease). So he was not assassinated although assassination was attempted.
