The Great Communicator


For over than a century, there were no President in the US who was elected in the years ended with zero, could survive to finished his term.
Harrison (1840), Lincoln (1860), Garfield (1880), Mc Kinley (1900), Harding (1920), Roosevelt (1940), and Kennedy (1960), who also shot to death. It had been a kind of an irrational belief in the Whir House, tyhat nobody could survive to finish the presidential term if he was elected to be a President in thre USA, in the years which ended with zero.
But this superstitious minds were broken when Ronald Reagan could finiish his s econd term in 1988, although he had a lot of problems in finishing his second term, but he survived safely.
Some crucial problems like the domination of Democratic Party in Congress, the insider trading scandal in Wallstreet, the Irangate which made Colonel North and Admiral Poindexter resigned, and William Casey, the Director of CIA died languishly. Not to mention the budget deficit , included the deficit in International Trade, and the falling index of both the capital and financial market.
Beside those problems, his health track record showed that he suffered the alzheimer syndrome which degradated his mind ability rapidly.
Amazingly he survived and finished as well safely his seaond term.
Ronals Reagan was also a' Great Communicator'
Bravo Ron !
