Reagan's 1st Inaugural Address, 1981

I remember Ronald Reagan's 1st inaugural address of 1981. I had never been so proud to be an American, and Dutch certainly didn't let us down.

As Larry Kudlow notes in his article at National Review, Reagan faced a much more severe economic crisis when he entered office than Obama now faces. Yet Reagan summoned the indomitable American spirit and optimism, declaring that we could solve those problems if we get government out of the way.

That, we did.

Obama, however, has stated that 'only government can solve our problems'--a mantra that has been proved 100% wrong over and over again all across the globe.

Reagan's ideas produced 25 years of unprecedented economic growth and prosperity. Obama's ideas have resulted in disaster each and every time they have been implement in human history.

I disagree with "indomitable" in the item. Obviously it is domitable. Too damn bad.

I was not a Reagan fan, until he proved what a fool I was.
