A statue of Reagan? And more to come? As a president, he ruined a lot of people's lives in this country- does anybody remember?- or we all like him , refusing to acknowledge certain things that he knew about- and was just as complicit as the rest of his group. A teflon president, indeed.

    Second worst President ever! What a waste of money. I sure hope no taxpayer $ went for this garbage.

    Lousy actor, worse Governor, even worse President.
