Sounds like we're about the same age. I sort of had this impression of Reagan when I was a teen in the US, having grown up in a decidely Democrat household and most of my friends having been as well (university faculty brats, mostly). He was certainly hated and ridiculed in the popular media and entertainment, for the most part.
As I grew up and gained some perspecitve I have come to see Reagan in a much more favorable light.
