“A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his.”

...and inquiring minds should be interested in who’s speech writing fertile brain that line was hatched in. Of course delivery counts too, and RWR was the best. As a cold war player, “Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall” still brings chills and a tear to my eyes.

Oh,yes...me too. I miss that man so very much. The only thing close to him was Sarah Palin,and she's out. I fear for my country and where it's going. I just wanna scream when I watch these conventions and see how these candidates go after each other over insignificant things,yet not enough on issues of the day and what plans they can put forward to turn things around. All signal and no substance.

That being said,the only one I think has even the slightest chance of taking out 0bama is Gingrich. That's where i'm headed.

As a young boy I watched Reagan as host of THE GENERAL ELECTRIC THEATER. I was always captured by his short conservative talk that he would give during each show. He lost that job the same month I signed up for the Navy, May of 1962. There was always something about his voice and manner that set him apart from the other actors of his day even though some of them greatly outdid him in Hollywood. He really was the “Great Communicator”.
