He had a genuine love for America and her people. What a stark contrast between the malaise perpetuated by Carter and the optimism of President Reagan. Carter continually scolded the American people, as if shaming a puppy who wee-weed on the carpet. Reagan was full of hope and was never condescending, yet he was the master at shaming the press. The media would spew lemons, and President Reagan cheerfully made lemonade.
If nothing else, people were just sick and tired of Carter's finger-wagging blame game and wanted a real [America-loving] leader. Carter is still the bitter crank (soon to be forgotten if history is kind), while Reagan lives forever in the nation's heart.
Amen Thinkin' Gal.
President Reagan will live in my heart forever!
God bless him eternally!!!
