It's funny that you bring up Mr. Bill. Yes he was successful leader once the Republicans took control of Congress and Pres. Clinton was forced to the right. Facts like these are why your chronological assessment of success and failure are so faulty

As far as President Reagan's accomplishments let's look at a few facts.
From the end of the Carter administration to the end of the Reagan administration, Economic Growth grew from 2.5% to 3.5%, and the Unemployment Rate declined from 7.65 to 5.3%, the inflation rate(CPI) declined from 8.9% to 4.6% and the Misery Index declined from +2.7% to -6.3%.

As always please feel free to pick your own poison.
