"God" or "Lord" works just fine.

President Reagan succeeded by doing the courageous rather than the p.c. thing, Thank the Lord Jesus Christ!

The words are excellent, the delivery is not of the style I would like for this kind of event.

Maybe he is just trying to cram all he has to say into a small slice of time..

QUESTION:

Why isn't John McCain speaking??

From what I saw on the Sunday pundit shows, John McCain was sooooo close to Reagan. Either that, or the partisan press just wanted to give some face time to an anti-Bush Republican.

Thank you for this ongoing live thread.

First, is Maureen's daughter there? I was looking to see if she was there.

Second, does it seem like Ron Jr and Patty "avoid" Michael? The hubby thought that the other day, but I thought it was just because of this entire whirlwind.

Also, Fox's coverage has been so-so. Too much talking. UGH!

Great speech! Hope Gorby is there since he was with the "evil empire" franchise Ronnie closed the door on.

And where's Michael Reagan? I don't see him with the family.
