  • a cogent analysis

    "To which one could respond -- back in 1980, Ronald Reagan announced a series of broad, vague principles, and then proceeded to drastically change the direction of American politics and economics. If we take both Clinton and Obama at their word, we have Clinton promising a boatload of quick fixes, and Obama promising a profound change of course. What unites them, in opposition to McCain, is that both understand that the U.S. is facing a real problem."

    Thank you, Mr. Leonard, for a truly penetrating and fair-minded analysis.

    Thanks for a lucid and concise analysis.

    It's refreshing.
