      I agree hes a great juggler but idk about "excellent" and certainly not "tremendously talented"... the real talent, the real wonder behind this act is his raw remarkable persona and stage presence. His juggling, yes its very good and professional, but its far from top-class or even close to the greatest TECHNICAL jugglers in the world. For Michael Davis its not so much about technicality or complexity, rather its the ingenious mix of wit and humor that makes this so compelling.

      Wanted to say something similar. Reagan wasn't my choice, but I still respected him and his office. The people voted and it was the "other guy's" turn. Even though he was on the other side of the aisle, you never got the idea he was actively trying to f**k over his political opponents and their supporters. Ironically, it was Reagan's dismantling of the Fairness Doctrine, that paved the way for the proliferation of unchecked RW propaganda, such as Limbaugh and Fox, which, over the last 40 years has been responsible for the extreme polarization of the country. Among their viewers, they have formented a distrust in science, media, government and education and directly led to Trump and the situation, this once great nation, faces.

      How is it lax? You suppose someone works for a decade to become a famous comedian just in the faint hope he can get an axe within throwing distance of the President one day? It’s 1000 times more likely to infiltrate the Secret Service who carry actual guns within an arm’s length of the President.

    Saw this guy decades ago, opening act at Wolf Trap, Vienna VA..... Never could remember his name. He was such a wonderful entertainer. Deadpan of humor (reminding me of the Smother Brothers) combined with incredible juggling skills). Impeccable timing both verbally and with sight-gags and with juggling itself.

    A good one. But Tip was not shown much. A true story about Tip is due. Back in the early twenties my Dad Andy Callahan and Tip O.Neal were school chums. Tip in his early years drove truck in Cambridge and Brighton. They parted company when Tip started to go to College In Bostons Colleges Facilities in Brighton. I only met him one time many years ago in the mid thirties and the family album had a photo of him in a Packard Convertible taken about the middle of the 1930's.

    According to the archivist at the Reagan Library.: "The Reagans attended events at Ford's Theatre six times during the Presidency -- 1981, 1982, 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1987. Since you mentioned 1981 and 1982, I checked the President's schedule files for those years. Michael Davis, comedian juggler, is on the program for the annual gala at Ford's Theatre held on September 25, 1982. The gala was titled "Festival at Ford's." I think this must be the date of the video."
