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.

1. Heard the same thing

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?
