You may make a good point...I did not know that. His brillance was sometime masked by his rather simplistic (and naive-sounding) statement of the issues. I'll never forget when Reagan was asked what he thought about the size of the deficet, which had grown under his administration. He said, "Well...I think it's about right for a Nation this size." Everyone was so non-plussed that they were speechless, while Reagan began to look a little peeved, like, "Let's move along to the important issues."
