Ted:    (shaking his head) I wouldn't say all Americans adored Reagan.

Tim:    In many ways he was a fossil, yet skilled at acting as if he actually cared 
        about common folks. Though frequently fuzzy about details, he convinced many of his vision.

Kris:   Vision? I would say he didn't do any convincing: money did most of the work.

Terri:  He should have remained an actor.

Tim:    (laughing) Hey, all successful politicians are actors.
