Remembering one of our greatest presidents

A very stirring tribute to a great man on the 25th Anniversary of Reagan’s Inauguration.

Are you better off now than you were 25 years ago?

During the 1980 presidential election campaign, then Governor Reagan asked audiences “Are you better off now than you were four years ago” before President Carter took office? The answer was a resounding “NO” and Reagan became President in a landslide rebuke to the politics of doom and gloom that pervaded the Carter Administration.

For those of you old enough for this question to be relevant, ask yourself: are you better off now, than you were before Reagan took office? The answer among those participating in this commemoration is a resounding “YES.”

Go see the entire post over at Mike’s America. And don’t miss the other one, “25 Years Since Style and Humor Returned” for an impressive list of Reagan rememberances. For example:

Palmetto Pundit asserts that Reagan was the greatest president of the 20th Century: “As many of my regular readers know, I consider Ronald Reagan to have not only been the greatest president of the 20th Century, but also one of the greatest Americans to have ever lived. I’m sure there are those who would disagree with this assessment, but if you will indulge me for a moment, I will explain the reasons I believe this to be so.” Agree? Disagree? See the remainder of his post here.

And the rest of Mike’s week-long tribute and roundup here.
