BILL CLINTON:
... In politics, President Reagan's success in 1984 after GOP victories in three of the previous four presidential elections prompted Democrats to intensify our efforts to revitalize our own party with new ideas rooted in traditional values. ...In Reagan's wake, New Democrats supported a strong defense, global cooperation, fiscal responsibility, welfare reform and a government that is less bureaucratic and more focused on giving citizens the tools to solve our own problems, faithful to our own roots as well as to modern conditions.
...[snip] I especially admired his unmistakable belief that freedom is a universal value that would come in time to all people in the world, and that we all had a responsibility to help speed the coming of that day.

I disagree. Please see my post: #19.
Bump for later
1994 election, 1995 Congress.
;O)
Sickening!
He must have mistaken us for someone who gives a rat's rear what he thinks. I guess he is making up for not being allowed to speak at President Reagan's memorial in DC. What a complete *ss!
Get off the stage already, Bill Clinton. You are so over with everyone except your loving partisan liberal media "friends" who think we should know when you shower.
D'oh!
I gaze now on the White House and think of Vince walking its halls. And that leads me to a memory from the days when Bill was governor. Hillary and Chelsea and my wife and I were up in Washington together and driving in a cab past the White House. Little Chelsea, upon seeing this big white house, began begging her mother and nanny - my wife - to take her on a tour. The supposedly sweet, motherly Hillary launched into her usual sharp scolding of her daughter. Chelsea was quiet and Hillary looked out the window at the White House, then home to President Ronald and Nancy Reagan and told her child "Chelsea, I'll take you on a White House tour when someone decent lives there!"
ReaganRulez2000 was a Moby troll. He's gone ;)
Too bad that class didn't rub off on Kirk's son.
Secretary General of the United Nations.
This puke just had to chime in like America cares what he has to say about President Reagan. Gawd just hearing the name Clinton has me wanting to take a long shower.
Ironic since Clinton owes his very existence as a viable candidate to the Democrat Pary forming a leadership conference to deal with the Reality of Reagan.
The real irony is Bill Clinton's DLC and "New Democrat" philosophy has found no takers in his own party. It was like a pair of clothes that never fit right. Now liberals can revel in being what they always were instead of having to bite their lips to be me-too Republicans.
idiot
Leave it to Newsweak to give this slug the opportunity to say what he would've said at Ronald Reagan's funeral.
Nancy Reagan has alot more sense than the folks at Newsweak.
Well, at least Clinton is admitting that Reagan was an extremely consequential president, changing the terms of debate and altering history. If you read Gerald Ford's remembrance in the same Newsweek, he refuses to give Reagan credit for ending the cold war, but specifically says it was the accomplishment of all presidents combined.
