I wasn't old enought to vote for Reagan either time, and my family wasn't much "into" politics. But I've been struck, too, by how similar the two men are with their determination to do what is "right", their faith, how much they got criticized, and so on.
And you're right that the Pres. knows it's not "all about him" I was so impressed by their visit to the Capitol; so short, but obviously meaningful. The people looked so surprised, yet honored, that they were there. But the Pres. and Laura were there and gone so fast I bet some of the people there didn't even realize who had been in and out so fast. I'm NOT criticizing the length of their visit; I thought it was perfect and another example of knowing it isn't "all about them".
