Although RR didn't say it it still involves him.
Just before Election '80 some newscast was showing clips of a Reagan rally. One supporter's placard had a line that has forever been "seared" in my mind: "Why not an actor? We've had a clown for the last four years."
Priceless. And God Bless Ronald Reagan.

Definitely a major oversight missing that one.

Vintage Reagan. Makes me want to cry. There will never be another like him. Now I am crying. I was at a sportsbar having a few with some buddies when the news flashed across one of the screens.
I abruptly got up and went home. One of my buddies asked me why was I emotional over "a stupid President." I told him if it wasn't for Reagan we wouldn't be here right now.

"...occasion on which Mr. Reagan threw out the day's ceremonial first pitch and did a charming inning and a half of play-by-play..."
Now that would be cool to hear.

If I'm not mistaken, that was not live radio. It was a sound check...

Yeah it is. I haven't posted in months, but there is something about Reagan that still inspires me to act.
God Bless Ronald Reagan and thanks be to God for loaning us this great man.

5. "The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." Remarks to the White House Conference on Small Business, August 15, 1986One of my favorites, thanks for posting!

Bush rarely makes me feel proud to be an American, Reagan did everytime he spoke. Reagan was a man who could put chills down your spine when he spoke. I can watch repeats of Reagan speeches all day, while I have a hard time staying interested when Bush talks. Reagan and Bush are not all that different policy wise, but as a leader Reagan wins hands down.
To: ohioWfan
I remember after Mondull lost he made the statement...
"I wanted to run for president in the worst way, and that's what I did."
To: rhema
THIS is just absolutely AWSOME.

I got an answer for that, but I'll save it for a more appropriate thread.
To: DeSoto
Yeah it is. I haven't posted in months, but there is something about Reagan that still inspires me to act. Without a doubt the most inspiring President we ever had. God Bless Ronald Reagan and thanks be to God for loaning us this great man.
ditto.
To: DeSoto
YIKES! Thank you for catching that!

Everyone needs to go back to post #15 and click on link and ask the USPS to re-issue a $.39 Reagan stamp.
