oldest american president ever. Now there are only 4 ex american presidents alive. Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George Bush Sr., and clinton.

He was 93, and he has been suffering from alsimers (i cant spell it) since the end of his presidency. Probably was hard on his wife to take care of him for all of those years. He was a great american president.

RIP. He was a decent actor and seems to have been a decent politic. Both of which are hard to come by.

Eventhough he cut Social Security benefits for widows and their children, which messed up the lives of my grandma and mom for awhile, he was still a president so I still respect him.

RIP

lol you know everything. Yea thats true. You have to be an american born citizen.

Senator and representatives have to be citizens for so many years, so cant take that one out of the picture.

Just think how stupid wed look if arnold was our pres., wait we already look stupid with George W. http://www.bushorchimp.com/

this is besides the point. Regan has been having alot of problems lately, and i know its sad, but im glad he finally resting.

If the laws were amended and a foreigner was allowed to run, I could see Arnold winning.

Aside from cutting veterians health benefits to make the government smaller, and making Reanomics, which fucked the lower classes, and help make Saddam more powerful by supplying him weapons, I can't really say nothing negative about the guy. Oh except that he also helped train Bin Ladan to fight the Soviet Union, the whole Contra thing, and let us not forget throwing mentally ill people on the streets, which raised the homeless population on his presidenty. I am glad he is passed though, those last 10 years he was suffering too much. It couldn't have happen to a better person.

back then al-queda wasnt a known threat. Heres a history lesson.

Back in the 80's, the world wasnt afraid of terrorism. The Soviet Union/communism was. Thats what we were fighting then, and now were fighting al-queda

You're ignorant. You should do some research on Arnold before talking the same old jokes (BULLSHIT JOKES) everyones heard before. Yeah so what he has an accent, if you came to America when you were in your 20's you would to. But the man built himself into a success, yet people like you bring him down. Also did you know Arnold has an IQ of 140 (i think or close to that # anyway)

really i could give a shit how smart arnold is.

and why the fuck would i care what arnold has done in his lifetime.

But the only reason he is govenor is because Gray davis was a fucking moron and got california into deep debt shit, and because hes famous.

illl take a real politician over his austrian ass anyday.

Among his accomplishments:

-Vetoing a bill that would of punished the white South African government with sanctions for it's practice of aparthied against the majority black.

-Made the rich richer, and the poor poorer, widening the gap and more deeply dividing America.

-Cutting welfare, after school programs, and assistance to the poor.  When the poor and jobless responded angrily he biult more prisons for them.

-Turned the word "welfare" into a bad word.  Made people believe that taxes were high because of welfare reciepients wanting handouts.  Turning the middle class against the poor class.  When infact, taxes are high because the largest chunk of that money is going to steadily increase the size of the military.

-Supporting minority rebel movements in Guatamala and other South American countries we had no business being in.

-The Berlin wall fell inspite of Ronald Reagan and not becuase of Ronald Reagan.  The arms race of the cold war only retarded the situation.

I doubt that.  There was like 4-5 debates before the election.  And the only one he participated in was the debate where they gave you the questions for the debate days before.  






Arnold has an IQ of 140? Wow...thats of lil importance. lol

"You politicians have an addiction problem, you need to go to an addiction place"- Arnold

too bad it wasn't bush.

and this is 20-30 years too late.  i can't even enjoy reagan's death at this point.  i hope that failure john hinckley is forever tormented by the fact that he failed at realizing his life's singular purpose.

* nibs spits on the ground

this guy didn't respect human life, so fuck him.  he gets no respect, even after death.
