Ronald Reagan had a clear vision and spoke in simplistic terms.  He made the country proud to be Americans.  He made it clear who the good guys were and who the bad guys were.  And the bad guys knew enough not to challenge the good guys.

Today's politicians speak rhetoric - not vision.  You can listen to today's politicians speak all day, and still not understand their vision.  Ronald Reagan was a leader.

And that is the most political commentary you will ever get out of me...
