Perhaps you're not aware that his role as George "The Gipper" Gipp in the 1940 movie Knute Rockne, All American got him the lifelong nickname "The Gipper." In honor of his birthday, find out what else you might not know about Ronald Reagan!

    If only Reagan's legacy of tax cuts will save the world was as cute as the pictures he left behind.

    He was a good guy! When he was in his early twenties, he worked at a radio station with my grandmother!

    Reagan followed his big 1981 tax cut with two large tax increases. No peacetime president has raised taxes so much on so many people.

    The number of workers on the federal payroll rose by 61,000 under Reagan. (Under Clinton, the number fell by 373,000.)

    Only divorced president

    Nothing impolite about anything I said.
    It's only negative if you find something wrong with a president who believes in tax cuts but allows hikes to fix a situation, or who believes in small government but will hire when necessary or who leaves a failed marriage to find the love of his life.
