Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker: "Mr. President, I'll be with you through thick."
RR: "What about 'thin'?"
HB: "Welcome to Washington, Mr. President."
They'll need someone to help them with the big words though
BTTT, for a great man, and a great POTUS.

I really miss him
"I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience." -during a 1984 presidential debate with Walter Mondale
Sorry about the double post but, if anybody ever deserved the extra praise, he did.
LOL
I'll never forget being glued to the tv for his funeral. What an awesome tribute to an awesome man. And the people who lined the highway on the way to his library.
Not that the election was ever in doubt. Yikes! Mondale was a loser!
Thanks for the exact quote.

Life
by Ronald Reagan
I wonder what it's all about,
and why We suffer so,
when little things go wrong?
We make our life a struggle,
When life should be a song.
Our troubles break and drench us.
Like spray on the cleaving prow
Of some trim Gloucester schooner.
As it dips in a graceful bow...
But why does sorrow drench us
When our fellow passes on?
He's just exchanged life's dreary dirge
For an eternal life of song...
Millions have gone before us,
And millions will come behind,
So why do we curse and fight
At a fate both wise and kind?
We hang onto a jaded life
A life full of sorrow and pain.
A life that warps and breaks us,
And we try to run through it again.
President Ronald Wilson Reagan, 1911-2004
Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN TIS WALL!
Responding to a question about concerns over his age, President Reagan closed with: "And I will NOT exploit my opponent's youth and inexperience for political gain."
The look on Modale's face after that was priceless.
Bush is a good man, but not in the same league.
THIS
The GREATEST President of the Twentieth Century!
A PRICELESS moment indeed. Did Mondale ever recover?
