I think this is just another aspect of Reagan’s genius. Remember he had Russian premiers dropping like flies — think he had four during his Presidency.

His direct written exchanges with Gorbachev — grandfather to grandfather — were originally “vetted” by State. They were aghast. He rejected almost all of their proposed changes and sent them as he had originally written them.

Boom! Down comes the Berlin Wall! Few years later, down comes Communism and the USSR.

All Ronald Reagan’s genuine beliefs, character, communication skills. Funny that an actor was such a genuine communicator.

Reagan had been well prepared to be President of the USA — two term California governor, President of SAG, toured the country on Westinghouse’s nickel, had written extensively about his personal governing philosophy, was unawed by power or wealth, starred in Brother Rat (movie about VMI).

Compare that to our current Community Organizer — a naif, a poseur, a fakir. A man without a past and a man wrecking our future.

I miss Ronald Reagan.
