It's no bubble. Led. Add yeah, I actually do "read some books" occasionally....
There's conflicting histories out there regarding everyone in history, depending on the "historians" perspective and agenda. I have read those accounts, as well as others where they are discounted...
ESPECIALLY those "cards...." Using cards to keep your thoughts in line and organized in Public Speaking is STILL encouraged....but if somebody used them today, in the age of "teleprompters?" "Look, he has to use CARDS!"
But Obama fails MISERABLY as a "Gifted Speaker" when he goes off prompter...maybe he SHOULD use them, much less BIDEN....
The same thing was said about Eisenhower, remember?
And Republicans said it about FDR...
Hell, people are still trying to make Bill Clinton out as some kind of "Decisive Leader" today! (Much less trying to elevate Jimmy Carter....)
"Leadership" is something that is always debateable as to how to achieve it or who actually has it at the time he is a leader...
But AFTER the fact it is easy to see who had it when it counted and who didn't...
NO ONE can argue that Reagan "had it."
