Oh god no. Reagan was an actor who... well, acted with Capitol Hill as his stage. His policies were daft and definitely not nearly as competent at managing the country as FDR's were, and he got more credit than he deserved for the fall of the Berlin Wall (the people of Berlin tore the wall down, not Reagen; he didn't show up to remove the 4-decade old thing with his bare hands; it was the people with their courage, hands, tools, and hearts that tore it down and ended the division.
The only reason why FDR is controversial is because he was a Democrat, and the Republicans just LOVE to attack Democrats as much as possible (although the Democrats are just slightly better at restraining themselves from sulking to such a low level).
