Ronald Reagan would have been 100 today (Feb 6th)

An interesting addition to the Super Villain collection, Reagan was a truly fascinating man who straddled the thin political line with a certain dignity and charisma that's allowed him to become a world wide icon despite holding some rather controversial policies during his time in the oval office. I will always remember being fascinated by him as a child, the wonderful smile that revealed a mouth full of gleaming white teeth and a certain movie-star glint in the eye that made you think that the glass was always gonna be half full and the bad guys always wore black and the good guys always got their man. A perfect Hollywood fable.
