THIS Is Why Obama Wants to Be Reagan

Watch the whole thing.  Really.  It's 21 minutes of truth, justice, and the American Way; I do not exaggerate.  Those of us "of a certain age" experienced Mr. Reagan personally and we and the nation benefited a great deal from his policies and politics, as did the rest of the world, most notably Russians and Eastern Europeans.  Mr. Reagan has a lot say about that in this speech, among many other things... including the state of America as he left it, which was one whole WHOLE helluva lot better than he found it.

I can't help but compare and contrast this speech with the speeches I've heard The One deliver... and The One comes off a distant second.  Obama isn't even in the same universe as Reagan but you knew that, Gentle Reader.  That said... I AM looking forward to The One's farewell speech in January of 2013.  I'll have the popcorn ready.

h/t to Occasional Reader Rob, who sent the vid to me in an e-mail.  This was the best 21 minutes of my day so far.
