HIstory Repeats Itself

As I listen to this program, I realized how many of today's problems are repeats of history. Reagan answered a lot of them. Whether one agrees with him or not, his answers are concise and easy to understand.The media has protrayed Reagan as someone who doesn't know much, and this program proves media's wrongful bias. Reagan read constantly, and he is well versed in many subjects.I don't always agree with Reagan, but I do admire this true American hero.
