Reagan's few words to schoolchildren says more to them than Obama could say in 2 hours of speechmaking.

I can't watch this without tears in my eyes, or even just hear it. This man understood man, America, and courage.
The Obozo understands only power, control, and anti-Americanism.
“The future is not for the faint of heart.”
Bravo.
I was seven years old when this tragedy occured, and I remember watching it happen live during elementary school. Since Reagan was the first president I was ever really aware of, I didn’t know how great a president he was until years later, but nowadays I appreciate him more and more. I feel sorry for people of my generation who, just a few years younger than me, have no idea of what a real leader is like, or what a real life and death struggle the Cold War was. Thanks for the video and the reminder of how a true American hero can unite us in times of crisis.
Reagan was the first president I ever cheered. I cheered when he bombed Ghaddafi.
I cheered when Reagan bombed Carter with 44 States and 489 Electoral Votes in 1980.
Well if PBO came out and said to the kids. Get a good education, because by the time you get out of school, you’re share of the national debt will be $200,000. You’ll need a good job to pay that off. Study hard..
Perhaps the schools could replay the Reagan and Bush words to schoolchildren in order to ensure fair and balanced reporting?

That was the first time I got to vote. Went and met with my history teacher. Told her we’d win. She was happy for that.
