Turns out he was only marginally competent.  He knew a lot of FACTS - that's how he managed to become a nuclear officer in the Navy - but he didn't know how to USE facts, how to critically think or to work problems through with information available.

And God made him invincible.  Which was why he could never backtrack and change plans, which was why he was so dug in on failed policies - and why he was so filled with hatred years later, as Reagan had succeeded in everything he'd failed at.

I've heard mixed on Rosalyn.  Some said she was as smug and as cold with the children, and some said she was at least superficially, a charming social host in the WH.

I don't care.  The world would have been better off if Reagan had won the 1976 primary and Jimmuh had stayed in Jaw-Jaw.

No need to remind me not to ask you to write my obit.  

Don't you worry 2cent ! If I'm around when you go you can count on me to write a glowing synopsis of the life and times of the Women we know and 2cents aka The Banana Bread Baker extraordinaire .
