He is bored and would like others to experience his boredom through his musings?

What he ACTUALLY said:
Q. Has this trip changed your views any about Latin America and your policies? Do you see any perspectives differently after this trip?
The President. Well, I learned a lot, because that's what I went to do, is—I didn't go down there with any plan for the Americas or anything. I went down to find out from them and their views. And you'd be surprised, yes, because, you know, they're all individual countries. I think one of the greatest mistakes in the world that we've made has been in thinking, lumping—thinking "Latin America." You don't talk that way about Europe. You recognize the difference between various countries. And the same thing is true here.
So, I went down to say to them what my dream was about this accord and then say, "Now, how can we make it work?"

I figured the dems took a beating, he is having a hard time with it, so he wanted to try and make Reagan look bad, so he could feel better about being a lib. It is all a result of PTED (Post Traumatic Election Disorder)

It is amusing that Reagan is still so hated by them that they still need to trash him 25 years after he left office.
It is sad that they still need to make it so personal 10 years after he died.
