Jim in Anchorage Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Reagan shook his first publicly, negotiated well privately, and above all came to understand as his Presidency went on the Soviet situation and applied pressure to capitalize on their internal dysfunction. In the most simple and brief way possible (to avoid another book), those are my thoughts. In his dealings with the Soviets, he was successful through what he did at the time he did it. And that in no way marginalizes his accomplishment as I see it, to put it that way. In what ways do you feel President Obama has gone around the world apologizing for America? This is one thing I have never been able to understand, though recognizing some people really do feel this way.

birdog1960 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) another great episode. sure, it's biased. but progressives need an articulate, witty show to contrast with the limpaughs, hannity's and beck's of the airways who certainly are not...and this episode did that quite well. loved the clips of the con talking heads, talking out of their a$$es about obama's india trip.

B-Man Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 another great episode. sure, it's biased. but progressives need an articulate, witty show There's bias, and there is non-reality; Two things have yet to happen in Sorkin’s portrayal of what an idealist’s pursuit of journalism would be via his new HBO series. Number one, over the course of the season McAvoy (who is supposed to be the show's Republican character) has yet to express a single sentiment that even approaches the thinking of a moderate liberal, let alone a conservative or a Republican. Number two, there hasn’t been a single substantive criticism of the President or the left whatsoever. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 another great episode. sure, it's biased. but progressives need an articulate, witty show... ...that validates them, of course. God knows you couldn't possibly handle an articulate, witty show that contradicted anything you thought. The modern definition of "progressive" is apparently "someone who doesn't have confidence in their own thoughts," for all the external validation people like you seek out.

It could have been a decently entertaining show with even a remote nod to balance. In a 2011 recap they opened the door wide - didn't even have to fit the timeline of that single week.... Nothing?
