	Since there are many famous presidential quotes, I'm not surprised that the words from this particular quote are among the least guessed. Tough one - but that's a good thing.

	I just tried to nominate this. Whoops. Anyway, hard quiz, but perfect timing and clues.

	Don't forget "Richard Sharpe" as Sean Bean's best role ever.

	Some of the quotes I've actually (as a non-American) heard of! This wasn't difficult to work out from surrounding words, though, for me, and I learnt something. Before I googled the quote, I guessed the wrong president and the wrong subject. So, thankyou for expanding my horizons.

	Q. "Where a goatee grows". A. "In a fieldee".

	any quiz with pee in it is alright with me

	Enjoyed this ladder a lot, but unfortunately you are using the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth words in the quote.

	lynnline:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 14:56 GMT		14 points
	@jshep is correct. The actual first 2 words of the quote are "Mr. Gorbachev"

	Reagan for the win!

	As Reagan imitators would say, "Well... done."

	the actors name got me but well done quiz. i like how you worked the entire quote in.

	Tommy_C:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 17:52 GMT		5 points
	To be fair, it's a line from a speech. A quote can start wherever you want it to. Traditionally, it's quoted as "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." I got the quote right away, then filled in the rest of the words. The fact that the quote was least guessed is due to the age of the average sporcler. You kids don't even remember the cold war, which is good I suppose , but it does leave you without context when talking to your parents' generation.

	Great idea for a word ladder!

	CorellonL:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 20:39 GMT		2 points
	My favorite part is the asterisks around the quote to denote his emphasis.

	ChileNoseJam:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 21:56 GMT		0 points
	Excellent job. I have to admit I'd only heard of the quote thanks to another Sporcle quiz, but come on - surely once you've got the words before and after each one from the quote, it shouldn't be too hard to guess?

	I feel stupid, but who is Timmy?

	HectorVortac:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 23:35 GMT		2 points
	Anyone else see 'first word in a Reagan quote' and try the word 'well'?

	abard124:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 23:53 GMT		2 points
	To be technical, the first two words of the most commonly quoted excerpt are "Mr. Gorbachev." Other than that, great quiz!

	mewkam1:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 15:24 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz and great testament to the greatest president of my generation. Ronnie, you are missed.

	gellchom:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 18:48 GMT		5 points
	Very clever idea, and very well done. Great job! (I am not even a Reagan fan, but I loved this quiz.) ncamd1, no need to feel stupid. Timmy was the little boy in "Lassie." I'm not sure it ever even really happened even once, but in the collective memory of us baby boomers, every week Lassie would come into the kitchen barking her brains out to tell the parents that Timmy was down the well. Again.

	Liked it overall. Didn't think "chis" was a great answer, though--felt awkward. Consider using "thin" instead.

	@njb, that's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion.
