Week In Review
Week in review. You can probably guess what this one will be about.
I don't know much about Presedent Regan. Was a bit too young to notice what was going on. Here's a few disjointed thoughts from what I've heard this week.
He was a President. This may sound a bit obvious, but it's not. In reference to what was perhaps unique to him as a pesedent, he said something to the effect of being the only presedent who knew what he looked like photographed from any angle. So what? He was aware. He understood that he was presedent all the time. He respected that responsibility. He never took his jacket off in the oval office. He was a President. He was Presidential.
He loved this country. This country loved him. At least two of the three broadcast anchors have suggested that the coverage of his death might have been abit much. Then why was it covered? You guys have a say in that you know. Oh right, you couldn't ignore people waiting eight hours to pay thier respects. Wake up. It wasn't too much coverage. Except maybe for you.I've heard people say that he was the first President they voted for. Perhaps one day, I'll say - in the same way - George W. Bush was the first I voted for.
Is he the best president of the last century? Heard the question, "How does he stack up against FDR?" Well Roosevelt fought World War II, Regan didn't fight World War III. He said what should have been said, but no one else would say. Greatest president? Time will tell. But perhaps it already has.
