The White House has mishandled the economy, and the solution is a victory by Republicans in elections this November, says real estate titan Sam Zell.

I don't know, but I do know those speeches worrked better for Reagan than they did for Mondale.

Notice Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan is just starting to get the heebeegeebees about her lord & master Obama.
