LIVE THREAD--Reagan State Funeral Ceremony: Lying in State at the Rotunda (6/11/04)

Bush Sr.: "Humility goes before honor."

[proud American in Canada]

I am losing it, listening to President Bush; his voice is cracking and he is obviously emotional.

[mass55th]

It sure looked like it. I wish someone could find a pic and post it here.

[hattend]

Bush Sr. speaking too fast.

Just trying to get through it before breaking down. Great eulogy...Thank you, President Bush

[Serb5150]

I thought I had heard somewhere that one of the reasons there are no blue roses is that bees can't see the color blue...?

Then again, I could be off my rocker.

[wallcrawlr]

Bush Sr. "Reagan was NEVER mean spirited."

[ken5050]

41 is doing great.. a light touch..humor, memories..setting the stage for the serious speech by his son...

[longtermmemmory]

spoke too soon. x41 tears.

laugher

Conviction again

Makes me proud to be American

[Lil'freeper]

Pres. Bush (41) is looking well and strong.

[Lady Jag]

GH didn't make it through dry.

[Exit148]

With all the presidents there, guess who were the ones who led us down, down, down --- and who led us back up?

I'm welling tears with President HW Bush voice cracking. How difficult it must be for these leaders, who were so close to RWR.

[Maigrey]

Dubya up now.

[CurlyBill]

Clinton sleeping?

Yep. Caught joking and laughing at Ron Brown's funeral and now sleeping at Ronald Reagan's. Shameless!!

[Tarantulas]

The story about Ron wiping spilled water from the hospital room floor to keep the nurse from getting in trouble was a great one.

[mombonn]

President Bush coming up now.

[E Rocc]

I think she and Ron have spoken loudly this week through their appearance.

They may have other things to be concerned about. It's hardly uncommon for women to eschew makeup at funerals, for obvious reasons.

Bush the Elder is doing a tremendous job, getting the family to laugh a couple times. They no doubt needed it.

[Dog]

The President.

[xp38]
