You know.... you're right, I forgot about the death "look". Add that to the "dead or alive" and "you're either with us or against us" and we have a pretty good start.
It seemes with Reagan that he always had the liberals in apoplexy over something that he said. He could lob a verbal grenade into the mix without even breaking a sweat. And he did it with a grin and twinkle in his eye.
I will say it again, I miss Reagan and thank God that I was fortunate to live in a time to witness such greatness first hand.
It's a shame there are so many people, even FReepers, who missed the Great One's presidency and so few in schools, journalism or educational TV who want the truth told.
Some of my more memorable Bush 43 lines:
September 14, 2001, in New York City, after someone in the crowd yelled "I can't her you!" He said "Well, I can hear you! I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people...and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear ALL of us soon!"
Another was at the Joint Address to Congress on September 20, 2001: "Whether we bring our enemies to justice, or justice to our enemies, justice will be done."
To me, it is not Reagan vs. Bush: it is Reagan and Bush. Each had different challenges, strengths and weaknesses. Both will be remembered, beyond the MSM filter, as great presidents.
