That's a great Reagan line STC ! How true .

From what I remember, many people, including former President Clinton, wanted President Clinton to run for a third term, even though two presidential terms is the limit. It's just how I felt about President Reagan. President Reagan was the one politician who really got me excited about politics!

Thanks for your comments, Mikey, Shock and Downinmich.

Great post. I remember the Trust but Verify, Reagon comment. He was one of our greatest Presidents.
Prosperity and the electorate. My recall on prosperity has always been "Is my family fed, housed and do I have a reasonalble chance of advancement in my current employ". Most of the time spent in earning a living meets these criteria. If one is fortunate enough to excell, and to accumulate assets, they have prosperity. To a lot of folks, the daily bread on the table is prosperity, so the term is, as with all things, relative.
The idea of Meeting Everyones Needs,and a re distribution of what A has to B and C on a needs basis, is detrimental to prosperity. The concept of equality, carried to this level, subverts the motive to even work for ones daily bread. After all, A will provide, right?
Mr. Obama has a whole coterie of staffers ready and willing to implement this Soviet Style method of wealth distribution.
