Kerry was right to say kind words about Reagan on the day of his death. But they shouldn't obscure what Kerry said about Reagan during his life.

Exactly. Kerry was kind in speaking of a former president's death, but it shouldn't take away from his former critical statement's about a very flawed presidency. Seems that we agree.

Andrew, thanks for those Kerry comments. They seem to be right on the money about President Raygun's presidential processes.

I liked this one best <drawing a parallel to Bush: ''They have managed him the same way they managed Ronald Reagan," Kerry contended. ''They send him out to the press for one event a day. They put him in a brown jacket and jeans and get him to move some hay or drive a truck, and all of a sudden, he's the Marlboro Man.">
