It is so amazing to contrast Reagan’s speech that brought down the wall with the speech given (by video) by our current light weight rookie president.
a quote from the powerline blog reads:
“Obama’s brief remarks are an exercise in Bowdlerization, circumlocution, evasion. Omitted from the remarks, among other things, is any mention of the Soviet Union or Communism, Harry Truman or Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher or Pope John Paul. Obama neither decries the villains nor salutes the heroes of the story. Rather, Obama celebrates himself. He is an agent of destiny. He is the fulfillment of history.”
