I always hate the "time traveller kills Hitler" stchick.
Killing Reagan does not change the political climate that allowed him to rise to power. In fact killing him could have made things worse for the USA. See 9/11 for a recent example.
To do a real change in the course of history, kill Calvin, the very moment after he was born, thus killing Calvinism in its cradle.
But then who will talk to Hobbes?
