From ABCnews.com June 5, 2004 — Former President Ronald Reagan, the actor and politician whose conservative vision and sunny outlook transformed America, has died. He was 93. Reagan, the nation's 40th president, had suffered from Alzheimer's disease, a debilitating brain disorder diagnosed several years after he left office in 1989. The disease had grown progressively worse to the point where the former president could no longer speak, feed himself or recognize his family. A journeyman actor, union president and California governor before he won the presidency in a landslide on his third try, Reagan became known as the Great Communicator. With movie-star charisma and a natural feel for television cameras, he rejuvenated the Republican Party, and along with it, the nation. "Reagan does not argue for American values, he embodies them,” wrote Garry Wills in Reagan's America. "Even young people who did not grow up with Reagan, or grow up hearing him on the radio or watching him in the movies, have accepted his version of the past as their own best pledge of the future." Critics protested his cuts in social programs, his buildup in military spending and a hands-off management style that led to a series of scandals. But many Americans enjoyed an economic joyride during his eight years in office, once "Reaganomics" wrenched the country out of the stagnation and malaise of the Carter years. |

One of the only US presidents I truly respected. May he rest in peace. Alzheimer's can't be an easy thing to cope with
