I have probably mentioned here before that while my politics lean to the left, I am an admirer of
President Reagan. Maybe it is just because he was president when I was a kid and I didn't know about all of the negative. I just saw the good-looking, Hollywood man who was proud to be an American and his pretty, classy wife. One of his most
famous speeches contained the phrase I put in the post title. Of course, he was referring to the Berlin Wall. Today we have a president who claims to admire Reagan but our president is no Ronald Reagan. Indeed, our current president is no
James Buchanan even and will probably dethrone poor Buchanan as the worst president ever. Our best president ever was
President Obama and as I have admitted, I was a late-comer to the party, really pulling for and supporting
Secretary Clinton when she was Senator Clinton and wanted to be the second President Clinton. I am also a big
LBJ fan and of course, a
Kennedy Girl, so you can see that my politics are left-leaning.
A Night Divided is historical fiction, about a family physically split by the construction of the Berlin Wall. Not knowing much of this part of history, I found this book to be excellent in all ways. Loved it, loved it, loved it.
