Raygun was "The Great Prevaricator"
I hope Obama won't forget that that this man who he seems to admire was one of the biggest liars who ever slithered his way into political office:

In August 1980, Reagan stated that "trees cause more pollution than automobiles do."

Over a period of about five years, Reagan told the story of the "Chicago welfare queen" who had 80 names, 30 addresses, 12 Social Security cards, and collected benefits for "four nonexisting deceased husbands," bilking the government out of "over $150,000."

BTW I wonder where Obama was living when he made up this fable.

"In England, if a criminal carried a gun, even though he didn't use it, he was tried for first-degree murder and hung if he was found guilty," Ronald Reagan claimed in April 1982.

"We did not--repeat, did not--trade weapons or anything else for hostages, nor will we," Reagan proclaimed in November 1986.
