The title "The President,” certainly adequate, yet scarcely does Reagan justice. Growing up during Reagan's Presidency and learning from him the values of that “shining city upon a hill,” and what it means to be an American, I often wonder how he would have handle the current state of our affairs? I am optimistic, one day we will wake up, look out of our windows, and see that glorious morning again in Ronald Reagan’s America.

There shall never be another Ronald Reagan. I hope there are more that are like him.

I smile, every time i hear the President say, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."

Thank you, Mr. President.

Added thanks for that. It occurred to me while watching the clips how much simpler governing must be when you have principles. It's a wonder more people don't try it...

elected President by the Electoral College. He was then declared President, according to our Constitution, by me and millions of others after noon on the 20th of January in 1981.

I enjoy tributes to the President whenever I see them, and thanks for that Pej, but we also have to grab the vision and move forward.

I look up, and I see his resolute face looking back at me from the portrait. The one he signed. And a moment in time reaches me today.

This is inspiring, and I have only one issue, Pej. Mr. Reagan was in my opinion "a" president. Not "the" president. One of our great presidents? Absolutely--one that we needed desperately when many didn't even know that we needed him, and his legacy only grows with historical hindsight. But to call him "the" president makes him seem president in perpetuity regardless of election cycles or even mortality, and I'm not sure Mr. Reagan would have liked that.

And thanks for the reminder of who Reagan was and what he did. We need more like him.

Requescat in pace my friend!
