Ronald Reagan
The "Gipper" is dead. While I thought many of his policies were wrongheaded, at this moment I would trade "The Gip" for the current occupant. Reagan was an eternal optimist and at least made you feel hopeful about the future. On the Fox News Channel yesterday the clones took great pains to compare George W. to Reagan. How disgraceful. As presidents go the Dauphin can't hold the Gipper's jock. Reagan defeated Communism with out a shot or nuclear weapon being fired. Now I know some folks dispute his legacy, but you have to give credit where credit is due. After 9/11 the country rallied around Bush and instead of being like Reagan and raising people's spirits, Bush took that good will and squandered it. No he is definitely no Ronald Wilson Reagan. Reagan was a man unto himself. I've got a Ronald Reagan memory myself. Back in the 1980s, I worked for the Republican National Committee. One day someone came into my office and said that they were looking for volunteers to see Reagan off on some trip. Well I jumped at the chance. After all how many times in one's life does he get to see the President. They bussed us over to the White House and escorted us to the South Lawn. The President's helicopter was revved up and out came Reagan in that brown corduroy jacket and yes I did wave and act a fool. Reagan bless his heart waved and went into the helicopter smiling all the way. R.I.P. Gipper.

I read all responses. I will post responses along with my reply. Watch raw language. Remember Michael Powell runs the FCC.
