Nonsense. You obviously never heard. He was abroad during the Second
World War, when he single-handedly liberated Auschwitz.
To deny that this is a *true fact*, you'd have to assert that Reagan, as
President of the United States, told the American public a lie. As we
all know by reading the newspapers these days, THAT unimaginable outrage
never happened, no not even ever once, until after Bill Clinton met
Monica Lewinsky.
