I figured I'd do an obvious one and a non-obvious one at the same time. That makes the series more... something.

Not Evil.

Clearly NOT evil

Was actually a Freedom Fighter, as he  was a major Reason why the Soviet Union Collapsed, he took us out the Keynesian caused stagflation malaise of the 1970s  with small government reforms which caused the unemployment rate to drop from 10.8% to 5.7%, inflation and interest rates to drop considerably , and despite liberals calim that he was terrible  for the middle class ,the median income grew from $16,000- around $27,000 in his term(http://www.davemanuel.com/median-household-income.php)

Not evil, and thankfully Atlas isn't partisan enough to overwhelmingly say so.

You said that Reagan was horrible for the middle class, my previous post completely disproves that statement

My fifth favorite President (after Washington, Lincoln, Grant, and Ike). FF, and definitely not evil.

A terrible president (normal) but not really evil per set. I mean, if we want to label POTUS'S as evil we could start with the slaveowners, Jackson, Polk, Tyler, Pierce, both Johnsons, Wilson, Bush Sr, Clinton and Nixon (who would probably be offended greviously if he was left off such a list).

Just playing devil's advocate here, but's possible to consider somebody evil on a personal level while still thinking that at least some of their policies have/had a net positive effect.

I know but Reagan wasnt even close to personally evil. When Leftists argue about Reagan they call his policies evil and my post was written to disprove of that argument

He's not my favorite President, but he's not evil. Perhaps misguided at times, perhaps overrated, but not evil.

Reagan was a great President, a patriotic American, and an honorable man.  Calling him "evil" is just deranged.  I just wish we could have someone like him back in the White House.

Evil at a personal level, though a lot better, than some 'non-evil, people.

Definitely not evil, in fact, quite the opposite if you ask me.

One of those people who I don't think even his harshest (rational) critics can call him "evil."

The epitome of the smooth-talking politician who has the ability to maintain popularity all the while breaking laws and destroying the country.

Horrifyingly evil.

Richard Nixon with less integrity (somehow), more far-right nuttery, and the smooth-talk his way out of everything or be blame lackeys like Ollie North-smoothly.

Evil for supporting Bob Jones' segregated dating policies just to appease the Moral Majority.

I'm not sure Reagan himself is evil, but the people who pulled the strings for his Presidency were definitely evil.

Let's see... the Republican who legalized abortion in California and appointed the Justice who single-handedly saved Roe v. Wade. Take a wild guess.
