Miss him...

And I miss Harry Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower even more than I do Mr. Reagan.

Alberta,I agree 100%. I would include T.R. but I was'nt alive then under his administration,the others I will vouch for;especially "
Give 'em hell Harry."

Good stuff that!

remind me, exactly did "Ike" do in eight years?

Ike was responsible for building one of the greatest national highway systems in the world.
But he did sort of prove that the country didn't really need a president.

Ike sent my ass down to Formosa when the Red Chinese were shelling Quemoy and some of the other offshore islands. He also positioned the Pacific fleet in the straits of Formosa to give the Chinese the idea that it didn't pay to @#!!&# with the US. He didn't bow to anyone. Nor did he talk when it was time for action.

Reagan was a great president, a great man, and a great communicator. He wasn't necessarily the expert on every topic, so he surrounded himself with those who were. And, then he led. (That's an important word, it doesn't contain an "i"). Led, Not "LIED".

What the hell was that black guy saying?

God we must be a proud nation.

I miss him, too and I'm not even American.

Also miss the Iron Lady, and I'm not British.
