I agree that he gave great speeches (just like Obama). But I disagree that he brought everyone together.
I remember the news constantly attacking him every night. Newspapers wrote articles hating on him. He was pretty much HATED by liberals.
They would say he was "out of touch" "too old" "confused"...I remember reading that he and Nancy Reagan sat down regularly with astrologers and fortune tellers and that he was influenced by all that on his policies.
Hell, even popular music attacked him. Remember Don Henley singing: "This tired old man that we elected King"
Or Genesis and the video to "Land Of Confusion"
No, I don't remember it quite like that at all. This was the way Reagan was treated by the liberals of society:
