He is a very, very rare case. Maybe the only one of his kind except for George Washington and FDR.

Not sure if it means he did good things or not. But he definitely had charm.

I remember when he was President and I was living with my first wife in Ft. Lauderdale.
I was an avid fan of Rolling Stone magazine and their political section. I didn't realize it was so biased...I just thought they were "reporting".

So I HATED Reagan at that time.

But I swear to God, every time he would address the nation on television...all that would kinda melt away and he'd charm everybody. He just had that gift.
