President Ronald Reagan was the 40th President of the United States of America. He was 69 when he took office which is the oldest presidency to date.

Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George Herbert Walker Bush

Reagan was deaf in one ear due to an accident while filming a movie. He also had very poor eyesight. The last few years of his life he was disabled by Alzheimer's.

His ability to speak well.

Walter Mondale received a total of 13 votes (2.4%) in the 1984 U.S. presidential election, including the 10 votes from his home state of Minnesota and the 3 votes from D.C., which always votes very strongly Democratic.

The presidents who were Democrats during that time period were John F. Kennedy (elected in 1960), Lyndon B. Johnson (took office after Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, then served a full term); and Jimmy Carter (elected in 1976, served one term).

The eight years of Ronald Reagan's presidency, from 1981 to 1989, were a time of unparalleled prosperity for most Americans. After a brief recession in 1981 through mid-1982, the Carter-era inflation rate was cut substantially. On the day of Reagan's inauguration, the Iranian revolutionary regime, that had been holding American diplomats hostage for a year and a half, released their hostages. The American arms buildup was so rapid that the Soviet Union came close to collapse trying to keep up, and the USSR did disintegrate two years after Reagan left office.

Ronald Reagan said that the safety of a nation depended on defense. This is mostly true, because defense is the only way to protect against attacks.

You need to answer this prompt. We don't know what passage you were given and we don't do homework. Your teacher is looking for your critical thinking skills and how well you understood the lesson.

This will depend on the type of practice and the clinic's hours. A rural large animal ambulatory veterinarian can work most of the hours, day and night, all weekend long. An urban small animal clinic veterinarian that has a local emergency clinic available and no regularly scheduled weekend appointments may work no weekend hours.

Yes, the dates indicate that she was.

The Reagans were married March 4, 1952 and their their daughter Patti was born October 26, 1952, not quite 34 weeks later, four weeks short of the usual 38 weeks.

No he was an actor and union leader before entering politics.

I only know that his main goal was to shrink Government.

Reagan also wanted people to be noticed whom should have been noticed. Reagan felt Government "belittled" people whom had done great things for this country

Nancy Reagan was born on July 6, 1921. Patti Reagan, Ronald & Nancy Reagan's firstborn child, was born October 21, 1952 when Nancy was age 31.

ive read that reagans signature is worth 750 bucks just to start on somthings as simple as a birthday wish...not sure what nancys is worth...could be much more depending on condition and who wants it...hope that helps a little

private industry should create jobs.

Ronald Reagan won the 1980 presidential election defeating incumbent President Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan served as the 40th President of the United States from January 20, 1981 until January 20, 1989.

OPSEC - Operational Security.

Basically, the idea behind it is to keep details of missions and operations contained, and prevent the spread of information beyond those who need to be in the know. For example, if your unit is about to go on a major operation in Afghanistan, you don't jump on the computer at the MWR centre and tell all your friends and family about it - that would be a violation of OPSEC.

Reagan inherited almost 12% unemployment from the Carter Administration, through an aggressive deregulation campaign Reagan stimulated the economy producing job growth, and brought unemployment down to about 4%. Economic experts were amazed! They said it couldn't be done and that America would need to undergo another Great Depression befor we would pull out.

The previous answer is absolutely and absurdly false. Reagan inherited a 7.20% unemployment from the Carter administration, not 12%. In 3 years it rose to it's highest post WWII to 10.80%. By the end of Reagan's 2nd term it lowered to 5.4%. The annual unemployment average during Reagan's presidency was the highest of all post-WWII presidents. It was 7.54%.

-------------------------------------

Edit: To be fair, the 10.8% rate hit in Dec. 1982. Reagan took office Jan 1981, and didnt get a chance to write his first budget until Fiscal year 1982, which is Sept 1981. So only ONE year, not 3 as you claim. Once Reagan's policies took effect, the UE rate started dropping every month until it was 5.4% when he left office.

-------------------------------------

The answer in the second paragraph is misleading. When Reagan took office, unemployment stood at 7.5 (January, 1981). Furthermore, at that specific time, inflation stood at 11.83%. Carter ran up the highest inflation rate since 1947 in which it was 14.76% (March 1980). Mortgage interest rates also hit nearly 20%. We can offer a big thank you not only to Carter but also to the Federal Reserve which manipulated money supply and credit. That is the reason he lost the election - the Misery Index gave him the boot. It is not true that Reagan had the highest average unemployment rate. So far Obama will take that prize unless the unemployment takes a very sharp dive to 0%, and that's unlikely. The above paragraph doesn't tell the whole truth but leaves out a lot about the economy during administrations and who is responsible for what. The Misery Index started by Carter to his embarrassment is telling enough since he had the highest Misery Inder since 1947(19.54 in December 1974). The Fed (Greenspan) under the Reagan Administration entered into monetary restriction that brought infltion under control, causing it to drop from 11.83% to 8.92% the first year. But this restriction sent unemployment up temporarily until both inflation and unemployment were tamed at the end of his first term (Unmployment=7.3%, Inflation=3.53). This was a remarkable accomplishment. Presidents can only do so much and cannot be held responsible for a lot of the drivers of inflation and unemployment. However, they can do two very substantial things that could mitigate both: reduce spending and taxes. Both of these cause a prosperous economy. The Federal Reserve policy over credit now is ruining our economy by returning us to the misguided Keynsian economic policy of more spending and higher taxes. This is Maxist economic theory that Keynes promoted.

Say what you want, but RR inherited a 7.1% unemployment rate when he took office. He managed to get it up to 10+%, the rest is wishful thinking (and he tripled the debt with his stimulas package)

Hello:) If you have a look at the bureau of statistics web site, it is pretty clear. Disregarding all other economic factors, the unemployment rate stood at 7.5 when Reagan was sworn into office on January 20 1981. After that it did shoot up, and peaked at 10.8% by the end of 1982, but steadily declined thereafter. By the election season of 1984, the rate held in the mid 7s, ironically the same rate at which Carter took his pounding back in 1980, yet Reagan won his second term by the largest margin in US history. Unemployment then declined at an even pace through his second term and when Bush 41 was inaugurated it was 5.2%.

In addition to the factors mentioned in paragraph three, Ronald Reagan was shot about 2 months into his first term. He also fired 11,000 illegally striking air traffic controllers that summer. But in 1982 the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982 was signed into law. This law, in my opinion, was one key factor in the declining unemployment rate during the rest of his administration.

The rate of unemployment, obviously, is one factor reflected in the misery index. For those who can remember just how miserable we were back in the late 70's, It's not surprising that after Reagan was elected the unemployment rate went up since the unemployment rate is measured by the number of people looking for work, not the actual number of people who don't have a job. After Reagan took office, people began to feel hopeful again, hopeful enough to go out a look for work.

Let's not forget the oil shortage in the late 1970s which involved high oil prices. The price of oil peaked in 1980 and a glut of oil decreased the price of oil from over $35 per barrel down to $10 by the mid 80s. Many oil and gas companies had big lay offs and many of the smaller companies went out of business contributing to the rise in unemployment during that time.

President Ronald Regan has many memorable quotes. Here are a few:

"If you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here, to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." This was one of President Regan's most famous quotes in 1987 when he urged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to stop the communist hold over East Berlin.

In 1985, Regan threatened to veto tax-increase legislation saying, "I have only one thing to say to the tax increasers: Go ahead, make my day."

In an attempt to form a clear arms reduction treaty, Regan told Gorbachev in 1986, "A nuclear war cannot be won, and must never be fought."

In 1981, Regan was shot John Hinckley Jr. He told his wife, "Honey, I forgot to duck." He also told doctors, " Please tell me you're Republicans."

Other quotes from Regan include:

"All great change in America begins at the dinner table."

"Don't be afraid to see what you see."

"Facts are stupid things."

"People don't start wars, governments do."

"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."

"The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away."

"You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans."
