We won't see another like him, I'm afraid.
You know what this reminds me of? A few months ago Oprah had Laura Bush, and gave a virtual tour of the Bushes’ home.
It was SO plain. White walls, lots of books. No froufrou anywhere, no ostentatious money, just a lot of emphasis on the simple beauty of nature outside.
I couldn't take my eyes off O’s face. She looked sandbagged. Sort of confused and quiet. I kept thinking, she's bought into the liberal meme that the Bushes are silly people, and this humble elegance is upsetting her template.
I couldn't figure out if she was just shocked (her home I'm sure is quite ostentatious) or angry.
It’s a shame that Daniel Hannan is British....we sure could use a couple hundred of his ilk here.
Greetings, I if wonder anyone here would care to counter-point this argument I am having with someone on twitter.
RT @ri4dc: @AntiWacko I think you also fail to recognize the economic mess that Carter left for Reagan. #tcot / READ > http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-carterreagan.htm
Myth: Carter ruined the economy; Reagan saved it.
Fact: The Federal Reserve Board was responsible for the events of the late 70s and 80s.
I’d never seen this point of view, and in my mind, it’s way off on facts and liberally interprets the data.
In my view, Tres Sec Volcker did what both Carter and Reagan policies required ... Tres Sec sets the policies of his boss ... would this be factual ?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

He won the cold war without firing a shot.
He freed the Iranian hostages without firing a shot.
He lowered taxes.
He ushered in decades of peace and prosperity after Carter's stagflation.
He broke the air traffic controllers union with the stroke of a pen.
He cut the Cubans out of Grenada.
He developed star wars weapons systems in use today.
His vice president was elected when his term was over. In effect, he chose his successor. Reagan didn't campaign for him, he didn't have to.
He scared the commies straight, without firing a shot.
That's leadership.
