Excellent!
I love watching that from time to time.
A classic!
It is precisely this type of confidence in America and Americans that won the cold-war fro him.
To this day, I will point to the single Reagan quip during his “sound check” (”The bombing starts in 5 minutes.”) as RWR’s defining moment.
The Russians knew that, while said in jest, it provided abject confidence in the resolve of the American people.
Post the joke.
! *grin!*
So what was the joke?
Gawd he was hilarious, confident and an such inspiration.
Gotta go back to the library.
what an awesome, awesome day.
Cept at the end of the day standing next to his grave surveying the valley below, recalling my day long experience and his impact on my life, I broke down in tears.
beautiful and I wish I had his knack for joke telling.
I am “Proud to be an American”.
I always liked the Mondale debate retort.
I will not make age an issue in this campaign. I will not exploit my opponents relative youth and inexperience.
Even Mondale burst out laughing at that line. Even though he didn’t mean to. I’ve always believed that line right there assured the American people that Reagan was still up to the challenge and helped him win in a landslide.
Watching that clip I’m reminded of why he was so hated and feared by the left. The danger they must have felt from a man like him. I will always miss him.
Lord, I miss this man. I never knew how much I would.
