Rather than praising Regan (which would probably get this kicked out of the White House praise - opps I mean press pool), they choose to make Gorby the hero, are you kidding me??

I always tear up when I hear those simple, yet profound words, "Mr. Grobachev, tear down this wall!"It was nice to hear the President again. I sure miss him. Dear Admin,

Thanks for the video. I always tear up when I hear those simple, yet profound words, “Mr. Grobachev, tear down this wall!”

It was nice to hear the President again. I sure miss him.

I asked him for an eye witness report for my students. Here are some excerpts - these observations are from today, in Berlin:A lot of the older people are a bit disappointed, especially non-Germans (I noticed a lot of this in Prague). They had expected freedom to give them more. I don't think most of they realized how much work freedom takes to be successful.In Berlin I took a tour of the city and the guide was talking about the day the wall fell. He said the East Berliners came swarming over the wall on a Thursday, and went back to work in the East on Monday. They didn't want to be Westerners, they just wanted the freedom to travel and see their families. He also said they ate all of the bananas in the city and packed the movie theaters because those were two things they couldn't get.Me again: He also said that the people remember Reagan and his role, contrary to what they were saying today. Good to have boots on the ground! Our son is working in Munich right now so he went to Berlin for the weekend to take part in the celebration. I asked him for an eye witness report for my students.
