I liked Clinton's policies and didn't like his character.
I liked Reagan's character but didn't like his policies.
A lot of people who disagreed with Reagan's policies still liked him for his sense of humor. I mean, how many people would've said, "Honey, I forgot to duck." after getting shot? Reagan was much more than the president of the United States. He was an actor, an announcer for the Chicago Cubs, and just an all-around fun person to have around. I know, I speak as if I'd met the guy, but I'm just saying that to many, Reagan was a great man if not a great president.
And do you know who's on the $50 bill? Ulysses S. Grant. He is remembered throughout history for being a great general. He was also president of the United States at one time, but he is claimed by many historians to have been one of the worst presidents in American history. And yet, his legacy lives on to this day.
