Ronald Reagan was a very influential president his policy, administration brought about the demise of the Soviet Union and communism; yet he was still the least talked about president in our history books. President Reagan had a much more different life style growing up than the presidents before him. Reagan became attached to politics while working in California as an actor in Hollywood. As he became more interested in politics, he became a conservative. In 1996, Reagan ran as republican candidate for governor of California, and won the election. With his first run in politics it gave him his ticket to become a major influence for the nation. Reagan’s biggest problem on his path to presidency was the concern about his age. His age did not stop him from running for president. He made and wrote many ads and editorials each week that aired on the television and on multiple newspapers across the United States. Through his speeches and his role in trying to reach the people he built a positive image for the growing number of public voters. Reagan blamed President Carter for the dull and sluggish economy, which was affected by high unemployment, the rising prices and the decline of standard living. A main priority in his campaign was to reach out to the voters and ask them if the present is better than it was four years ago before Jimmy Carter became president. Ronald Reagan won by a major landslide due to many independents and Democrats who joined the Republican voters in electing him the fortieth president of the United States. In Reagan is first inaugural address, he made confident and inspirational statements about his strategies and priorities for the nation. "We are a nation that has a government–not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power
