Tear Down That Wall, Mr. Gorbachev!

Today is the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. And this handsome man had a little something to do with it.


I'm getting real cozy with old Ronnie this semester because I'm writing a 20 page research paper on his presidency for my political science class. Which, by the way, I have no business being in besides to earn my last liberal arts credit.

My favorite Reagan quotes to date:

"All great change in America begins at the dinner table."

"The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away."

"Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out."

And as Darren has told me many-a-time, Ronald Reagan had so much respect for the office of the presidency that he wouldn't even enter the oval office without a suit coat.

What a man, that Ronald Reagan, what a man.
