No, I am plenty old enough to know that he was spouting babble in the '80 election and for 8 years after that. He was full of babble for the '76 election as well, fortunately the GOP decided to stay with Ford. He was an actor, capable of making nonsense sound profound. That does not make them great speeches, just fine examples of the craft of acting.
P.S. I am old enough to remember some of the nonsense he espoused as Governor of California also. Too bad he did not make that the pinnacle of his political career. As for Arnold, he is far from becoming one of "mine". But at least he seems to remember his roots in growing up quite a bit poorer than he is now.
