Bill Clinton:
"Hillary and I will always remember President Ronald Reagan for the way he personified the indomitable optimism of the American people, and for keeping America at the forefront of the fight for freedom for people everywhere. It is fitting that a piece of the Berlin Wall adorns the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington."
Very very gracious and nice statement by President Clinton.
It is good to see liberals finally giving Reagan credit for his cold war success.
And I will always remember Bill Clinton for besmirching the Oval Office, where Reagan, out of respect, wouldn't dare enter without wearing a shirt and tie.
Clinton always kno which way the wind is blowing. Many of the media and places like DU do not.
*Crinton abuses another opportunity. Who would've guessed?
Reagan would not enter the Oval Office without wearing a jacket and tie. Clinton on the other hand had no qualms about opening his fly in the Oval Office. What a vast difference.
A very dignified remark by Clinton. I am both pleased and suprised.
You know the direction history will view him when those on the opposite side, including the media, have nothing but praise. Saw Clinton on MSNBC saying that President Reagan had the quality of all great presidents in that he was unfailingly optomistic about the future of America and the desire of all men to be free. Giving him his due. at long last. Once again, ronald Reagan is proven to be right when he said that it didn't matter what the contemporary press and pundits had to say, as history would judge him, and he was OK with that.
He has probably had this speech in his drawer a while. He also, I suspect, admired Reagan very much and wanted his presidency to be as admired.
The thing I like about all of the "opposition" folk -- even John Kerry -- is that they admired his ability to keep feelings and idiology apart. That art has been lost -- even amoung us (myself, alas, included).
Godd bless the Reagan family on this sad day.
Yes, and it's fitting that there will never be a Bill Clinton Building in Washington...unless it's a bordello.
...or a port-a-potty.
Dan Rather stinks!
So Reagan was a thoroughbred stud Clinton was just a little Prick
They probably will need to add a red light to the Clinton Libarary.
I can't speak to the size of his member, but I know that Clinton lacked class.
I don't know if Clinton could have been a great president, but it is good he recognizes it when he sees it.
It wasn't just shirt and tie. He would never take off his coat in the Oval Office.
... and sportjacket
What did you people "pleased and surprised" expect? Oh, excuuuuuuse me, I didn't know you were born yesterday!

Little Chelsea, upon seeing this big white house, began begging her mother and nanny - my wife - to take her on a tour. The supposedly sweet, motherly Hillary launched into her usual sharp scolding of her daughter. Chelsea was quiet and Hillary looked out the window at the White House, then home to President Ronald and Nancy Reagan and told her child "Chelsea, I'll take you on a White House tour when someone decent lives there!"
