Ronald Regan knew how to handle Congress. Get out in front of the cameras, talk sense to the American people, and shame the bastards into doing what is right. The fact that both men are actors gives me great hope. We need someone who can present compelling facts, clearly and believably, to the voting public.

Once, Regan joked "We just outlawed Russia, and the bombing starts in five minutes." It appeared to be a "whoops, left my mike on" misstep, and it carried with it the velvet glove warning to the Soviets "watch it, Ivan. We mean business." We need this kind of communicator again, someone who doesn't WANT to get along, and gets along by making his political opponents cave through public humiliation over their own failures. I hope Fred turns out to be the one who will walk in these really big shoes.
