The Reagan Diaries.

Ronald Reagan was my favorite president of all time. This mornings meet the press had a discussion about his new book, and a special video session highlighting the number of times that Reagan was on meet the press. Click on the title of this entry for the MSNBC website.

His greatest legacy is the economy that we have today. Instituting "Reaganomics" was terribly difficult. His administration was battered badly as a result of bringing a new economic order to the world. Hanging on took immense courage and fortitude. For 2 years there was never any doubt in Reagan's mind that it would succeed and it was the right thing to do. It makes one reflect on this stoic persistence in facing the associated difficulties that we have today. To my way of thinking President George W. Bush is an excellent protege of the Reagan mold.

The influence and dedication of Nancy Reagan throughout the political career of Reagan leaves me empty and to be frank a little jealous. For it is the dedication and commitment that she showed the country and her husband that made his accomplishments possible. And it is for this reason that Laura Bush will be known for as well.
