When comparing two American President's speeches commemorating the anniversary of the D-Day Invasion, we see the wide expanse between a President, and a Pretender.
Ronald Reagan's 40th Anniversary D-Day speech remains a shining example of the right president, sharing the right words, at the right time.
The sincerity of Reagan's presentation is clear.
Obama on the other hand, appears far more robotic, uncertain. He is not comfortable wrapping himself in the achievement of America. His words ring hollow, too rehearsed, and like so many of Obama's declarations, turning once again to him personally, attempting to make the moment about himself, and not about those whose actions are being remembered.
America knew Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was a friend of America. Mr. Obama, you're no Ronald Reagan....
