5. We could add an almost infinite number of panels,
and still not have enough space.

6. Here are some more panel suggestions:
He ignored the largest health care crisis in US history...

He armed Usama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein...

He deregulated banks, food inspections, and toy safety...

He gave away logging, grazing, and mining rights on US property enriching corporations and robbing the US Treasury...

7. Let's not forget
that by crushing worker rights he and his gang made it easy for undocumented workers to come to the USA and flood the unskilled labor market.

So, all those 'Pukes grumbling about Illegals have Uncle Ronnie to thank for it.

17. He blamed Iran when we shot down one of their airliners...

...and helped Saddam after he attacked one of our frigates, but he didn't kow-tow to special interests*

(*1980's definition: minorities, unions, feminists, peaceniks, freezeniks, etc.)
