Mikhail Gorbachev

Share

Once again, Mikhail Gorbachev dazzled America. We are fascinated with him because he represents to us what we wish our politicians were--a spontaneous, pragmatic, straight-talking, press-the-flesh leader who deals with issues.

Instead, we have bred a bunch of well-paid stuffed shirts who worry more about reelection and personal gain than they do about the real problems facing this nation.
