4. No kidding...spot on as usual...

Raygun was a facsimile, a facade, the ultimate figure of the cult of personality...and the MSM is more than happy to propagate the fairy tale that he was one of the great presidents. In reality, at best, he was a charismatic and useful stooge of the corporate oligarchy.

"There's no doubt that the weight of the office has an impact, but I will tell you that the longer I'm in this job the more I enjoy it, the more optimistic I am about the American people, the more optimistic I am about the country. There's something about this position that gives you a pretty good vantage point about the country as a whole, and for all the arguing we get into and all the debates between Democrats and Republicans, there's just a sense, a common sense and a decency to the American people that makes me optimistic even on the worst of days."
