No, silly.
It's about a four day work week.
That's beautiful.
Most Ronald Reagan speeches are because all of them, or the important ones anyway, included his own goodness and patriotism and understanding of what works and what doesn't - his own thoughts.
He was the last President who understood the need for a strong military and who actually loved the country. Bush did love the country and the military, but had a hard time with domestic issues.
Reagan was the first president I was eligible to vote for. The media convinced me in his first election he was a war monger and since there was no way I was voting for Carter, so I didn't vote.
By his second term, I knew better, so I made sure I made up for my error of sitting out an election.
I do wish we could find someone who could express the goodness and freedom of America like Reagan could. Surely some of those speech writers are still around, so it must be that we cannot find someone to deliver that message with as much passion.
Rita, not to take you to task.. but it wasn't all speech writers with Reagan. For example they begged him not to include the 'tear down this wall'
I triple guarantee you ;-) that no speech writer penned the words Shining City on the Hill, or Mankind's Last Best Hope for Freedom.
At least in these senses he was the real deal.
Thanks Kid. Maybe that's why he was genuine. Because he really WAS.
And I know I'll get some heat for this, but nothing, NOTHING made me feel as safe after 9/11 as George Bush's speech a few days later.
There will never be another speech in my lifetime that will affect me more.
He gave me hope when I was anticipating the end of life as we knew it.
Rita, you won't get any heat from me on this subject anyway.
(It's unavoidable isn't it ;-))
PS, back on track..., I still get choked up on Reagan's speech about the Challenger failure.
