Where are the Reagans?

Obama was supposed to be a Great Communicator, but he didn't deliver. We need real leaders who can reverse this view that we're in decline, which is basically the message of "smart diplomacy," whether the left understands it or not, and challenges us to take the painful steps that will put us back on sound financial and economic footing. That's got to be a big sell with a lot of sunny optimism to get across the rough ground back to the trail of growth.
