I actually wonder if he was functionally president at all. I say this with the greatest of compassion for Alzheimer's victims. My own grandmother passed away from this horribly slow death and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Read no derision in my post on this subject. That clarified, I think Reagan was suffering from it during his first term. He seemed confused during his debates with Mondale during the 2004 run up to the election. I wonder if he was a figurehead for much of even the first term, let alone the second.
Just an actor reading his lines....and when he could no longer do that, Nancy read them for him.
