Warm. Reminiscent. Revealing.
By Jeffrey E Ellis
The WIT & WISDON OF RONALD REAGAN is warm, revealing and remindful of better days. Among this generation of politicians, Reagan shines all the more brightly as a leader of character, confidence, and mutual sense. Although the media vilified and derided him for the duration of his Presidency, America loved him.
