It’s a sad day today. A true president that always said what he meant; “Mr.Gorbachav tear down this wall.” Two years later wall is gone people are standing on top of it dancing on it, collecting it for souviners. The vision came true for Reagen where everyone thought Reagen was crazy he did bring the cold war to an end. Amd help tear down the berlin wall 2 years lator.
Lumpy, and other if you do not have anything nice to say ahout Ronald Reagan please don’t voice it here. And I know your going to try to bring out the Iran Contra Affair. But, don’t do it on this thread.
No matter what you do there’s always some cocksucker that won’t take his hat off during the Star Spangled Banner, takes their cell phone into the theater, or can’t say one damn respectful thing about a man that’s 20 times what they’ll ever be. All it does is illustrate just how small and insignificant they must feel but it still grates on everyone else’s nerves.
His legacy as the man who finally caused the Soviet Union to implode is secure.
His cheerful and positive approach to leadership will be missed.
I’ll never forget when he looked at Mondale in 1984, smiled, rolled his eyes, and said, “Here we go again!” That was beautiful!!! It broke Lumpy’s heart.
Then there was the time when he said to the terrorists, “You can run, but you cannot hide.”
George could learn from watching Ronald Reagan deal with the press. There were plenty of Roy Batty’s in Reagan’s press corps. But, he charmed them and manipulated them without letting on that he was doing it. It was wonderful. He used them to push his agenda. In short, he led.
Easily the best President since FDR. He will be missed.

P.S. George H.W. Bush is sad.
P.S.S. I hope Paul is not an American. If he is, I am ashamed of him.
I have been watching the news non stop… nothing on TV is good anymore so the Reagan coverage is what stays on… i have noticed how much Bush can be likend to Reagan ( THEN ) not today
example
Reagan was looked down on as a fool because he would not change his ways on ending communism
Bush is a fool for not trying to change ways in the war on terror
Reagan had no idea that any weapons were traded to bring home the Americans from Iran
Bush had no idea there were no real, or as of yet, no real weapons of mass distruction in Iraq
Reagan’s press conferences often left him looking incoherent and or uneducated
Bush… ditto
the list can go on but I am sleepy… PS all of this info is true about reagan, i have been watching CSPAN and they just did pro’s and cons of his time in office, public views etc… yadda yadda… tata
It is a sad day, for America has lost a truly great man. It is a blessing though that his struggle is over now and he is with the Lord. My prayers are with the family. I hope that the news coverage and rememberance of of President Reagan can be used to inspire those of us to continue to do what is right and make this country better.
