Note that in response to a question at the 2:50 mark, Ronald Reagan was HIGHLY CRITICAL of Jimmy Carter's foreign policy. In fact he mocked it. Keep this in mind when hearing all the MSM reporters whining about Romney for daring to criticize events in Egypt and Libya. Ironically, even Obama eventually distanced himself from what the American Embassy in Cairo said.

So now anytime Mitt nails Obama on anything, the press will just accuse Romney of trying to score political points.

Of course he is, it’s a frickin’ election!

Thanks so much for posting this. I had the privilege of seeing Reagan at my Uni. Sat with my boyfriend (at the time) with the Law School (they had the best seats). We were 5 rows from the front.

I still get chills thinking about it!

There was a “planned protest” by some “old lady” that shouted out about Social Security. I’m sure she was a “plant”.

History is repeating itself?

In 1979 we had a weak president -- Carter -- who invited attack of our embassy in an Islamic country. The Muslims knew Carter would do nothing.

Now in 2012 Obama's failed leadership has inspired Islamic radicals to attack not one, but two embassies on the anniversary of 9 11.
