I so needed that laugh!
Could this be the modern version of the return of the roman soldiers to Rome? It looks regal and impressive.

Yet I don't think I've seen one "thumbs up" signal toward Mrs. Reagan. Not since yesterday..

As a horsewoman, I can say that indeed this is no small task to have horses that are as dependable and precise as the six pulling the caisson.

The horse with Reagan's boots may not make it all of the way to the Capitol...it looks a little jumpy.

Am I the only one who prefers the onlookers to be silent?
I love that the riderless horse, Sgt York is so restless and spirited. Reminds me of what Peggy Noonan wrote about this day long ago, knowing what would come.

Yes, the crowd is very composed. They're probably in awe, just like the rest of us.
This whole ceremony is very, very impressive. Dignified and majestic.

To: GRRRRR
What President Reagan stood for, is what George W. Bush stands for and this week will amplify it.
I sit here watching the horse, with RWR's own boots strapped in backwards...silence comes from the crowd, honor and dignity are all around. So many people, silent and full of respect for a man that many did not even know. All colors and creeds are assembled in DC on this day, this is AMERICA at its best. This is an AMERICA the Demorats can never, ever understand.
We are a great people and a great country.
God Bless President Reagan, his family, our honorable and dignified President Bush. Give them the strength to carry on the vision of Ronald Wilson Reagan and make our country even better, despite the efforts of the left to drag us down to their level of hatred and envy.
Perfectly put.
