Ronald Wilson Reagan ( /ˈrɒnəld ˈwɪlsən ˈreɪɡən/; February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of the United States, serving from 1981 to 1989. Prior to that, he was the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975 and a radio, film and television actor.
Born in Tampico, Illinois and raised in Dixon, Reagan was educated at Eureka College, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and sociology. After his graduation, Reagan moved first to Iowa to work as a radio broadcaster and then in to Los Angeles in 1937 where he began a career as an actor, first in films and later television. Some of his most notable films include Knute Rockne, All American, Kings Row, and Bedtime for Bonzo. Reagan served as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and later as a spokesman for General Electric (GE); his start in politics occurred during his work for GE. Originally a member of the Democratic Party, his positions began shifting rightward in the late 1950s, and he switched to the Republican Party in 1962. After delivering a rousing speech in support of Barry Goldwater's presidential candidacy in 1964, he was persuaded to seek the California governorship, winning two years later and again in 1970. He was defeated in his run for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968 as well as 1976, but won both the nomination and general election in 1980, defeating incumbent Jimmy Carter.

Writing a memoir isn't easy.
The film they didn't want you to see!
Ronald Reagan: If you don't mind, this administration has to pee.
The government's new policies are making me insane
They don't know what they're doing man,
They don't know how to see.
They're all talk when it comes to making things alright
But we ain't going out like that...
At least without a fight!
Tell it like it is
Don't confine our inner trust
Tell it like it is
Make what's right for you and me
You look around and all you see is smog, poverty, and shit
The world's local governor now why should he admit?
To the violence at rage,
Wickedness at hand
We've stopped evolution, but now it's time to start again
I can't believe the way it is
But we - we understand.
It's when you finally realize
You're nothing but a man.
We hate what you do and what you're making us believe
Because you don't give a fucking shit
