Yes.
Too bad he had to die so soon while others (like Jimmah) just hang around like forever.
His statements are still true today.
‘’The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.’ -Ronald Reagan “
God bless Ronald Reagan.

The biggest problem with Reagan is that he didn’t run nor was he elected in 1976. Just think if he had:
1. We would never have been stuck with four years of that idiot Carter.
2. We would have four more years of the stronger, more fully in his prime Reagan. As much as I loved the guy, I think all of his supporters would fully admit his second term was greatly diminished. And during the last two years, his strength and abilities were obviously fading due to his medical condition.
I also wish he had gone with his gut and chosen Jack Kemp for vice president. He would have had better support and left a much stronger successor to run after his term was up.
Destroyed the Soviet Empire, led to the creation of 20 million new jobs. Best president of my lifetime.
Thank you
Yes. Yes, He did, sodpoodle.
And, we are forever the better for it.
Don’t forget my tag line.
I like this one from another famous guy:
“Lock her up!”
The Great Communicator.
If only he had not given his former gubernatorial State away along with the Amnesty to his former political party.
Sadly, I wasn’t old enough to vote for Reagan in 84, I wish that I could have.
I recall seeing comedians reading some of the old notecards of one-liners that were discovered in Reagan’s desk after he had died. I can’t find the video now, but I recall Leno reading one and cracking up laughing before he could read aloud the punch line.
They all commented on how these were great jokes, and explained a bit about what made them great.
I’ve been watching Nixon speeches and interviews lately. In one he mentioned how he wants a leader that is friendly and personable on the outside, but has an iron will on the inside. Reagan definitely fits that description.
