Ronald Reagan knew who he was. Barack Obama is still working through that equation politically.

If you don't have a hologram, how can you understand what's going on in the news? Right? Am I right?

For eight years Republicans worked around the clock to delegitimize Bill Clinton. For the next eight years, Democrats tried to delegitimize Bush. Now Barack Obama is enduring the rage of his conservative opposition.

I see it all the time in politics. If a candidate gets caught in a lie, he quickly tries to change the subject by throwing more mud at his opponent. The mud keeps flying until some of the slanderous material sticks.

I'm serious about this. The Republican Party needs to reform or die. President Bush did three things. He destroyed the Republican majority, he crippled the American conservative movement and he weakened the country. That's a hell of a trifecta.

I'm not a car guy. The subway gets me where I need to go efficiently and cheaply, and I don't worry about traffic.

Do not miss your children's childhood. Do not be away 200 nights a year as I was. Do not put strains on your marriage or family.
