Ronald Reagan, if nothing else, used the Jedi Mind Trick on the people. Ronald Reagan was a great speaker and he made Americans feel good. This is one of the essential roles of the President. The President's actual powers are quite limited. Ronald Reagan would say "Everything is fine. America is great" and everyone would think "Wow! America is great! Everything is fine. These are not the droids we're looking for." I won't debate some of the other things I think he accomplished because they are more contentious. However, I think most people would agree with most of the above. Perry
