      The same media that lied about Reagan lied about Obama.

      And it was all leaning in the same direction.
      When the NYTimes becomes unavailable for bird cages the world will be a safer place.

    Well, we're not dead yet. We still have a chance to turn it all around.

    We did it once after the first Carter. We can start the process again in November.

    My timing has always sucked. A day early here, a year late there. I served in Berlin from May '78 through July '80. Jimmy Carter gave a speech in Berlin when I was there, but I was not motivated to attend. Obviously, it must have been less than stirring. If it had been Reagan, however …….
