I know what you mean. As a Canadian, I liked Reagan. As you say, the
right man person at the right time. Same with Margaret Thatcher, (the
Iron Lady) the Prime Minister of England, who was a good friend of
President Reagan.
The two of them together changed the world at the time.

Yep. Both were strong leaders who knew what they wanted to do, and did it!
Together they pretty much defined the 80s, politically.

We'll see what happens with Obama as President. But I'm not very
optimistic, having read about his past, and the people surrounding him
over the years.

All we can do is wait and see what happens. I wouldn't believe anything I
read about him up to this point. He has been campaigning. During the
campaign, you say whatever it takes to get elected, and your opponents are
saying whatever it takes to get you defeated. Lots of distortions and
outright lies on both sides.

Everybody relax, have a beer or 9, and chill out. :-)
