+Ä. R S. Well, it's officially the future. And gosh darn it we still need roads!

God I miss him what a positive leader!

Best line comes at 0:22 when he mentions the CHALLENGER crew.

I miss him every day. My earliest memories were of him speaking. my parents didnt listen to music that much. I had to push them to do that. to listen to my father's record albums. what i didn't have to push was the news. lol i grew up with Reagan.

2 days before I was born.

Ronald Reagan was one of the classiest men to be president.

this is what a real president looks like.

Man, I wish I would have been old enough to remember what he did. I was just being born the year he began his second term in office. To see a leader like that who had so much confidence in his country seemed to have put a smile on the faces of everyone around him. RIP, President Reagan. We miss you.

Wow. Reagan starts his speech with a bang--honoring the Challenger astronauts and giving a nod to his buddy/nemesis, Tip O'Neil. The Gipper had the best philosophy on Welfare: its purpose should be to ensure it's no longer needed! Such wonderful words of wisom at the end: his words on the Amercan Dream, and his words of encouragement to those four kids up on the balcony.

exactly!

1. Ronald Reagan 2. Abraham Lincoln 3. George Washington 4. John F. Kennedy 5. Franklin D. Roosevelt 6. Thomas Jefferson 7. Bill Clinton 8. Harry Truman 9. Woodrow Wilson 10. Dwight D. Eisenhower

You are all mistakened 1. John F. Kennedy 2. George Washington 3. Ronald Reagan 4. Theodore Roosevelt

What an awesome, intelligent man! He was the best President of The United States of America. His only "agenda" was to keep our country FREE, STRONG AND TO REMAIN THE GREATEST COUNTRY that ever was and ever will be. God bless his soul and forever keep his ideals alive!

The Gipper LOVED to make references to pop culture. Besides "Star Wars", he referenced Dirty Harry ("Make my day") and Rambo, to name a few!

1. George Washington 2. Ronald Reagan 3. Thomas Jefferson 4. Calvin Coolidge 5. James Madison 6. James Monroe 7. Dwight D. Eisenhower 8. Theodore Roosevelt 9. Franklin Delano Roosevelt 10. George H. W. Bush

A lot of the issues he mentioned are STILL being debated today. (school vouchers, balanced budget amendment etc..)

There was a lot of emotion this night as it came one week after the Challenger disaster. He was clearly the last great President. The four we have had since don't come close, especially the one in there now who has 376 DAYS TO GO!

1. Thomas Jefferson 2. George Washington 3. Abraham Lincoln 4. Calvin Coolidge 5. Ronald Reagan 6. Grover Cleveland 7. James Monroe 8. John F. Kennedy 9. James Madison 10. Dwight D. Eisenhower

A man who wanted to hold onto Traditional values because they worked for this Country. God Bless RR.

What a great speech and NO Teleprompter!!!

@catclaw357 No it's this: 5. Franklin D. Roosevelt 4. Teddy Roosevelt 3. Ronald Reagan 2. Abraham Lincoln 1. George Washington

@OldestManInCanada he says it on the 20 minute mark :)

@SashkoDC I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady and Jack Benny is Secratary Of Treasury. I had enough for one evening good night future boy!

So funny in the retrospective. Starting at 18:32 and all the way to the end. "An affordable health insurance", "a shuttle flying from Dulles to Tokyo under 2 hours", "Strategic Defense Initiative" - all such "spectacular" "successes". "Winning freedom in Afghanistan, Angola, Nicaragua" - and we can see all three of those bathing in "freedom" now. The "greatest president ever" indeed...

You love kool-aid, don't you? He was a fucking politician. I have fond memories of the man too, but let's not get carried away.

Jonathan, I'll believe you're a real libertarian when your home is on fire, and you don't call upon the publicly funded firefighters to put out the blaze.
