reagan deserves credit for berlin wall fall cuz he was prez at the time? |
|
BZZZZZZZTT!!!!
thank you for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts.
the berlin wall fell on 11/9/89.
bush the elder was president at the time. not even republicans want to give him any credit, though.
personally, i think GORBACHEV had a wee bit more to do with it, but that makes way too much sense.

from a coworker today. He's from Albania, and completely convinced there is no propaganda in America, so I didn't even try to correct him. Between the language barrier and CNN I didn't stand a chance of winning.

2. I was living in Germany when the wall came down. |
|
I had just been in East Berlin two weeks before the event. The contrast from East to West was right out of Kafka.

3. Clinton's Economy, Bush's 9/11 |
|
The economy under Clinton had nothing to do with Clinton.
9/11 under Bush had nothing to do with him.
But Reagan gets all the credit for freeing the Iranian hostages and destroying the USSR?
Anyone see any hypocrisy?
