Happy Birthday, Ronald Wilson Reagan

[j2k4]

To paraphrase Pink Floyd, 'Wish You Were Here', sir.

We could certainly use you.

[Valhallaz]

We could blame him for everything... Obamacare, F&F, IRS targeting, pandering to Iran and all foreign policy disasters... It could all be on him...

I loved Reagan... I miss him terribly.

[j2k4]

This is fated to be an 'Old fart' thread.

Good on us, then

[Uniuno]

He was El Presidente when I was born.

I wonder why Google isn't recognizing his birthday, I guess he hasn't been gone long enough?

[j2k4]

Google = inherently resistant to Reagan, I think.

Just an opinion.

RIP. He was one of the greats. Easily a top 5 with Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington Truman...

[Echo419]

didn't Truman leave North Korea and not finish the job or was that someone else? I don't feel like looking it up.

[IPD]

No one could have "finished the job" in north korea. It would have turned into Vietnam. If the Chinese had kept the fuck out of Korea...maybe, but they didn't, so....

The best years of my life, were during Reagans presidency. Our country was in pretty good shape and the threat of war with the Soviet Union was eliminated during his term. Some of you younger members won't remember things like fallout shelters or air raid drills during school. You can thank Reagan for that.
