He doesn't have to manage such a thing. US Lefties manage that message.samcdkey said:

Bested by a lower primate, the "elite" of the "higher" primate world are left only to frantically struggle with impacted panty knots.
I'm a pro-abortion, pro-embrionic stem cell research, atheist, ex-science teacher, global-warming skeptic, Sheehan loathing, registered Independent .Genji said:Ahh! You're anti-abortion? Anti-science? You are Christian? You despise the environment? You hate Cindy Sheehan? Just guessing. I can't think of a single thing about him that is positive.
Actually.
Obviously I am dead against Reagan's policies, but at the same time I can respect him. I can't do that with GW Bush. He is just too lightweight, not even fit to be president of a small banana-republic, let alone the biggest one.
Reagan indeed has charisma. Bush just makes you feel awkward. You want to help him pass a grade. With Reagan you would like to have a conversation and listen to him, although not necessarily agree with him.
Reagan worked his way through college. Bush got everything on a silver platter. Reagan got everywhere on his own merits. Bush simply let himself be put somewhere.
It's a major difference. You can respect a smart charismatic enemy. You cannot respect a puppet.

Reagan kicked ass. Carter had the country in the doldrums. The US military was a joke. The economy was a shambles. He gave away the Panama canal.
Reagan came in and restored America's confidence. Beefed up the military, and bankrupted the USSR with an arms race they could no longer keep up with.
My favorite quote from Reagan was a sound check he did before a speech. He said:
I'll bet that scared the shit out of old Gorby.

You mean he was an inspirational figurehead for the Grand Ol-igarchy, and a boon to the defense industry even though it became evident soon enough that it was obsolete. He sold TOW missiles to Iran, supported death squads in central America, tried to destroy the labor movement and the middle class, threw mental health patients into the streets, and scared everyone with star wars scenarios.madanthonywayne said:

As I remember it, it was the liberal left that said it was inhumane to keep mental health patients in asylums and hospitals, and it was against their rights to force them to take their medications to keep them healthy, and the liberals then passed legislation to let these people out, and in doing so also allowed them to decide if they were going to take their medications on their own, and the death squads that you yell about? what is the deference between them and the terrorist that you support? and as far as Star Wars it is now on operational status, and is making use safer, a pretty good idea if you ask me.
