My favorite Reagan quote: "Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his."

It would be interesting to speculate how Reagan and his policies would fare in today's political world and how he would have done against Barack Obama.
