I just updated my homepage at www.christian-renner.de a bit and found that my collection of quotations there is still very relevant and up-todate - both when you look at the German election campaign and German political parties and when you look at debates going on in the world, e.g. Mr. Obama`s America.

Today is Ronald Reagan´s birthday. He would have been 98 years today.
Apparently he was not only MY favorite American president: Christopher Polano, 7th grade, wrote this essay about the Gipper: read it.
