As a public service to my young readers, I am here to introduce you to the greatest president of this century - Ronald Reagan. Here are a couple of examples. They describe the state of things 30, 40, even 50 years ago, yet they sound strangely familiar today.
First, "A Time for Choosing"
Next - dealing with stupid questions: (debate vs. Walter Mondale)
And finally - his farewell address at the end of his Presidency
It will take you about an hour to go through these and get a sense of the man. I would then encourage you to visit Youtube and watch others - like his speech at the D-Day memorial in Normandy. Or his challenge to Gorbachev in Berlin to "tear down this wall".
A great man - certainly with flaws - but ten times the president of any of them since.

Amen. America was well served for 8 years...and the rest of the free world as well. Millions came to freedom around the globe because of him.
