What a beautiful photo of the President and Nancy! All smiles and so optimistic. I like to think of that as a trademark of conservatives. We're proud of this county and its many accomplishments, and look forward to the future.
I live in liberal la-la land and those folks always look so......grim.
Exactly so.
And of course, Reagan has not been the man we remember for some time. His passing at 93 after these long years of deterioration is perhaps more welcome than it is an occasion for grief.
So why am I sitting here with tears running down my face?
I realize no one lives forever, but this saddens me very much. I grew up during the Reagan years and he always hold a special place in my heart.
Just reported: Reagan Dead.
Thank you for posting this. God has been merciful to us during President Reagans last years. Just the thought of clinton presiding over...it's just more than anyone should be expected to endure at a time like this. It's bad enough he will be in attendance at the funeral. BREAKING NEWS: President Reagan is dead.
Goodbye Ron...Godspeed..
"As God will have it, rest well, my friend, and may you be in Heaven before the Devil knows you're dead."
Via con Dios!
Just curious, why do you feel he just missed being truly great? I think he is one of the greatest presidents for many reasons, but this one in particular: he ended the Cold War.
RIP President Reagan.
"Good too that he isn't lucid enough to see that communism and socialism, veiled as they are by the media, have taken up serious roots within the democrat party."
He knew it before we did.

Mr. REAGAN: Well, sir . . . 99 percent of us are pretty well aware of what is going on
.with their usual tactics, trying to run a majority of an organization with a well organized minority.
Mr. DISNEY: In my opinion they are Communists. No one has any way of proving those things.
I just heard during the Belmont Stakes coverage that President Reagan his died. I feel incredibly sad. The whole crowd at Belmont was silent as well.
RIP Dutch.
I still think extremely highly of him, and really don't want to say anything negative at this time. As good as he was he did fall prey to a bit of political correctness, first in naming Sandra Day O'Conner to the Supreme Court, which has really hurt us.Maybe his abandonment of some of the figures in the Iran-Contra affair when they were 100% in the right, perhaps a few other minor things but like I said, still one of our best.
As far as personal character he was right at the top.
He was the first President I ever voted for, and he was my first Commander-in-Chief as well.
As you were, Marines.
I was just going to say that myself. God bless and keep him, and may we take comfort in knowing he is enjoying bliss we cannot imagine. The finger of God touched him and he told Ronald ''Your work is finished here now. It it time for you to come home.''
You forgot how this will overshadow slickwillies book.
The slick one a Lillipution to Reagan's Gulliver.
