But I am WAAAAAY past 30. My first ever presidential vote was against Reagan. My first disappointment as well. Well take a couple of those A's away.

3. I'm way past 30 and remember him vividly - the first worst President ever.
I couldn't believe people bought it then and now.

Though he was a vague far away figure. I always associated him with the Cookie Monster for some reason. :3

6. He WAS a muppet, after all -
Bush was pulling the strings.

I remember Reagan. I was six when he was elected, I remember my parent's conversations, and watching the news. That's when I started getting interested in politics. My parents were/are strong democrats.

8. I remember him quite clearly,
but then, I'm not under 30. How could anyone who lived through the "transformational" changes he ushered in forget him?
