I Think If You're Going To Do A Movie About Reagan, You Do It About The Fact That He Created The Huge Deficit, That He Armed The Mujahideen, That He Armed Saddam, That He Armed Iran, That He Armed Two-thirds Of The Axis Of Evil, And That He Funded Terrorists In Central America. He Was, In My Mind, A Terrible President.
