Indeed. Carter was in a political black hole. He was also bumming us out telling us we had a hard road ahead. The Reagan media marketing strategy blew the Dems strategy out of the water. If it weren't for the supply side BS I might have bought it.

Carter was telling us the truth, though. Something few Americans can stomach, not even the ones who claim they're the only ones that can stomach it.

Reagan was the most convincingly, eloquently and inspiringly full of shit president of our lifetime. Just look at the staying power his theatrics and vapid hullabaloo have had, it truly is breath-taking. In this regard, his greatness is without peer.
