Reagan wasn't the "Great Communicator" in '87 and '88.

During Iran Contra and other problems.

Conservatives have been re-writing history and it's time that ended.

Good man, Great President, but communication couldn't spare him in the latter half of his second term.

During Iran Contra, threatened with impeachment, President Reagan saved his own bacon with a direct address to the American people. And it worked.

And that's the way it was.
