I proudly voted for Ronald Reagan for President twice. He's the only person I had total confidence in when he was in the Oval Office. He understood the American Dream and the American People because he was born and raised in the Heartland. Not perfect, no body is, but close.
Man oh man, I miss his leadership and kindness as it was grounded in the American dream for everyone. That is something missing from both sides now a-days. Decency to our fellow Americans, who would have thought that was something neither side seems to know how to do right now.
Reagan is my hero. I was a young boy into young teenage years when he was President. The prosperity he brought my country I could see even as a small child. To me he is the last President to really do what's best for the American people. He was not perfect as no man or woman is. It was evident he cared about our country.
Reagan was our last great president. He was a moderate he had allies on both sides of the isles. We don't have that anymore, it's either extreme left or extreme right, and it's like that world wide. We've got to get back to that.
I voted for Reagan in his second term when I was 20yrs old. I now live in that town he was talking about where he was a life guard in Dixon, illinois. He was a life guard at Rock River.
Wow I remember this....I always felt Reagan was one of our best presidents. And I watched many of his movies, especially the westerns. Now look at our candidates... the difference is shocking and bleak.
This man was probably the best friend Britain ever had in a US president. He had much respect for the UK and Her Majesty. Queen Elizabeth ll was the only member of Brit RF who got to ride on AirForce1 courtesy of president Reagan
Reagan is one of the very few politicians I find influential. Modern politicians tell us what's wrong with our nation which discourages people. Reagan told us what's right with our nation and encouraged people to be better
I was 24 when Reagan became President . Interest rates on a home loan were 13% on avg , the country had lost the feeling that we are America and we can do anything ! Ronald Reagan brought that back to Us ! and slowly the country came back and pride in Our Country swelled. A Time For Choosing , is a powerful speech , and damn the man could tell a joke .
I seem to remember this was Reagan's farewell speech at the end of his presidency. I heard him say it. Also I lived in Washington DC when he passed away and saw his funeral procession to the Capitol. I remember there was a horse carrying boots facing backwards. I had never seen that.
Reagan was an inspiration, not just for his time, but for today…if people would just take the time to listen! He had the ability and courage to take a speechwriter’s words, inserting his own observations and heartfelt ideas/ideals, until it was truly his own!!! I say courage because in probably his most famous speech ( his tear down this wall speech) his advisors were dead set against him saying this! They kept taking it out…not until he was going over the speech a final time on his way to the wall did he reinsert the famous line that would ultimately leave the Berlin Wall a pile of rubble and cause the collapse of the “Iron Curtain” all across Europe! That was Ronald Reagan….
Mike, there is a wonderful book First Families can’t remember the author tells all the secrets from a Secret Service agent. They all love President Reagan. Not so much Nancy.
I was a Sr in high school when Reagan was shot. I was in Driver's education driving with the driving instructor (coach) and heard it reported on the car radio. When we got back to school, I told the other kids, and they didn't believe me.
I was a junior in English class when a student aide walked in and announced it. As soon as the lunch bell rang, 3 of us ran to the nice teacher's room that had a tv.
I voted for both Ronald Reagan and Donald J Trump, and I love them both, but if 20 years from now I got a chance to vote between them I'd vote for Trump. Yeah, President Ronald Reagan had GREAT speeches, but he wasn't nearly as strong as President Donald Trump is and Trump has move mountains and will move more mountains. And not just for the US Americans, but for the good of people all over the world. People don't like what he says, but it's not what he says that gets things done... it is his strength of will and ability to see the much bigger picture annnnnd the people he keeps around himself. People who are for the people. His perspective you speak of is the USA mentality... don't get me wrong, there are those here in the US who don't have that mentality, but the majority of people do have that mentality.
I think people need to be self-motivated, they should not rely on a government official for it. Be careful about aligning yourself with the two major parties in the US, neither have good leadership right now and haven't for a long time. I was raised in a left wing Democratic household but I am a moderate Independent, I vote for the candidate that I think is the best person for the job, regardless of their party affiliation, so I have refrained from voting sometimes as the only way I can protest the lack of good candidates to choose from. Biden is better at foreign affairs, terrible at domestic, and his choice of running mate is absolutely horrific. Donald Trump is an absolute mad man. How do you pick from those two? Regan was a good orator but when you really look at his record, there were some significant problems, which is why he has the nickname, Teflon Ron. Still, he did believe in the American Dream and promoted it, which I appreciate about him.

Reagan was my favorite President of my lifetime. He was so awesome, and a true blue, dyed in the wool patriot. 🇺🇸

Best President ever

Totally agree! Ronald Reagan is my favorite President too. One of my favorite jokes he told was about the three legged chicken.😂
I miss Ronald Reagan.

My favorite president ever
The reason we all like Ronald Reagan is his simple and truthful speeches. He was called the Great Communicator!!!
You’re refreshing young man. Keep up the good work.🔥
The Rain actually made this vid better. Nicely done sir.
President Ronald Reagan 1980-1988
My US Army service
1980-1988 🇺🇸

I was 24 when Reagan became President . Interest rates on a home loan were 13% on avg , the country had lost the feeling that we are America and we can do anything !
Ronald Reagan brought that back to Us ! and slowly the country came back and pride in Our Country swelled.
A Time For Choosing , is a powerful speech , and damn the man could tell a joke .
Reagan was the first President I voted for, when I turned 18. He was a very strong leader!!
Me too! My family was not happy about it because they were democrats.
Same
I was born in 1978, I do not remeber reagan except for tear down that wall! Alex P Keaton liked him so i was ok.
Too many people might not know who Alex P Keaton was, but much love to Michael J Fox!❤️🩹
I was a child when he was president and the 80’s were a dream. I miss that…
me too
Agreed..
I seem to remember this was Reagan's farewell speech at the end of his presidency. I heard him say it.

I wish we had someone like him today to vote for president. Neither Biden nor Trump do not even come close to this man.

I didn't even know it was raining till you said something
Ronald Reagan was awesome but had a few flaws. I would say that the amnesty, no-fault divorce, and Iran Contra were his biggest blunders.
I voted for both Ronald Reagan and Donald J Trump, and I love them both, but if 20 years from now I got a chance to vote between them I'd vote for Trump. Yeah, President Ronald Reagan had GREAT speeches, but he wasn't nearly as strong as President Donald Trump is and Trump has move mountains and will move more mountains.

He cut tax and let borrowing rip - start of the USA's problems some would say.
