There you go again.

 

You betray a certain arrogance - a belief very noticeable in Europe that a country’s political leaders are born to the purple – are born to lead the Great Unwashed.

 

Perhaps I shouldn’t blame Europe entirely – the arrogance is here too.

 

Reagan had a pretty good career in films, radio, and television – not only in B pictures. He then went on to lead his union, then to heading California, a state which if it were a country would be in the top half-dozen GNPs in the world and into which Switzerland would fit 10 times.

 

Finally, he became President and was re-elected with almost 60% of the vote while carrying every state in the union but one.

 

Not bad for a “B-movie actor”.
