If you consider irresponsible deficit spending, tripling the national debt, taking credit for things you didn't do, denying the things you actually did, trading arms for hostages, lying to the American people, and condoning attacks on civil rights to be great success I suppose you're right.
Reagan was the second or third worst president in American history behind George W. Bush, and Woodrow Wilson. Schwarzenegger had good intentions, but he can't get any real cuts in spending with the socialist California state senate in the majority so he's pretty much failed as a leader and at crossing the isle. Thompson really isn't even worth mentioning. His acting career has always been more important to him than his political career and he's a quitter. Of the actors who have gone into politics, he's slightly better than the others, but equally crappy as a politician.
