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

But he was a very sensitive man. I don't recall Reagan ever using "Jesus Christ" in public.

Hey Sink -- what IS your freakin' problem??

That's three -- count it -- THREE different posters you've chastised for their respective evocation of the name "Jesus Christ" in this thread.

I don't recall Reagan ever using "Jesus Christ" in public.

At least once IIRC, although in a place where no one could have objected to it. Early in the 1980 campaign he and John Connally were the only Republicans interested in getting the endorsement of an evangelical group whose name unfortunately escapes me.

Connally spoke first, and made some weak joke about being a Methodist in a room full of Baptists, or some such. Reagan gave a speech describing how incomprehensibly moving it was that Jesus had died for him as an individual. Apparently the delegates were profoundly moved, and the rest is history.
