Fact Check

From Atrios:

"The House and Senate did not both come under Republican rule during Reagan's time.
The Berlin Wall did not come down when Reagan was in office.
Reagan is not the president who left office with the highest approval rating in modern times.
Reagan was not 'the most popular president ever.'
Reagan did not preside over the longest economic expansion in history.
Reagan did not shrink the size of government.
Reagan did preside over what was at the time the 'biggest tax cut in history' but it was almost instantly followed up by the 'biggest tax increase in history.'
Reagan was not 'beloved by all.' He was loved by some, liked by some, and hated by some with good reason."
