This is what a President and Commander-In-Chief sounds like.
that's what a real president looks like, and acts like, miss this guy
Amen to that Mr Evans
thanks
"He counted on america to be passive.....he counted wrong!"
I absolutely love president Reagan. The world would be a different place today if Reagan was our president. Our current leader is a goofball.
I agree 100%. We need another Reagan!!!
Right on jon
all Presidents after Reagan are idiots.
I understand and agree with your point of view. No room in this world did a nazi.
This Regan quote was sampled in "Def Leppard - God of War"
Reagan was smart enough to keep the attacks brief.
Hands down, Ronald Reagan is and will always be the greatest President during my lifetime.
Finally found the whole speech that is used in Gods of War by Def Leppard.
Yes, I too remember this and some of his other speeches. I was 18 and was enlisting into the Air Force. I miss his leadership qualities and was damn proud to have him as Commander in Chief.
RIP Mr. President. I tip my wing to you, sir.
Why can't today's leaders be more honest and direct like Reagan?
I miss Ronald----- he was a true leader
+Steven Pye We all do, especially now.
"We're fighting for the gods of war..."
i was a kid eating dinner with my family when reagan made his broadcast. best dam president we ever had.
" When our citizens are attacked..." .You know Reagan wasn't bullshiting. I've heard this from an American military person that no country takes care of its citizens better than the USA when confronted with hostile situations.
The last great american president......God Bless Ronald Reagan!
Yes he is
Mr. President we could sure use you now.. What great Man and a great President you were...
This is the best speech i ever heard in my entire life.
I wish we had him now
Regan is amazing, he even knows exactly how Libyan people feel toward Qaddafi, I am Libyan and I feel it when he said ( before Qaddafi seized power in 1969 the people of Libya had been friends of the united states, and I am sure that today most Libyans are ashamed and disgusted that this man has made their country a synonym for barbarism, )
So that's what a leader sounds like. Pretty cool.
Reagan and Thatcher - the dream team!
I love that line. He delivered it perfectly
This is leadership! God, please have mercy on our nation. We need you! Thank you Reagan Foundation.
~Shalom to America
REAGAN - THE BEST PRESIDENT AMERICA EVER HAD
I was born during Reagan's presidency and I have only seen things go downhill from then. What it must have been like to live under a real American president and not some demagoguing sideshow clown like we have today.
I'm canadian but Reagan was a great President if I could vote in your country he would have mine both times Obama is a disaster.
I remember listening to this live here in Melbourne, Australia at the time and being in awe of an American President who had the guts to respond decisively to acts of terrorism. Gaddafi, amazingly, is still "peddling his wares" in Libya and must have more lives than a cat. But his day is almost over. As Ghandi said, "In the end they (dictators) always fall. Think of that. Always".
A Great man. RIP
shame we dont have anybody like Reagan around anymore.
We love you & miss you Ronnie....
My F-111F's from RAF Lakenheath, UK flew the strike mission that night on mutiple targets in Tripoli. After that, we said that Libya stood for, Lakenheath Is Bombing Your Ass!!!! He was one tough President. Good times!
Well said...I couldn't agree more
This is what being a true Commander In Cheif is all about. What has happened to this kind of leadership?
Homeland!
Mr Obama, take good look at a REAL president in action.
+Steve Paul lol. look what they did about the AID's epidemic
+Steve Paul Mr Obama did, because he is a REAL president who defends our country.
President Reagan, you are truly missed. We so need another leader like you now.
GOD BLESS YOU MISTER PRESIDENT
Can you image if Reagan was president today? I can't imagine the Iraq war would still be going on. Reagan was a very decisive leader.
Great man, great President. We need him now more than ever...
Like a BOSS!!!!!!!! The IDIOTS currently in charge should be made to take a few pages out of this great American president's playbook .You were an AMAZING president and real COMMANDER IN CHIEF!!!!!! GOD rest your soul,you are certainly,after all these years missed because of your honest patriotism and TRUE COMMITMENT to OUR way of life!!!!!
we need another Ronald Reagan
I really miss this guy. A real leader.
Men like Reagan we need now.
the last real america president, RONALD REAGAN
Operation El Dorado Canyon was the greatest military operation in history.
God Bless Ronald Reagan
God, please bring us another Ronald Reagan!
This is Leadership......Unlike what we have today in Obama, a gutless wonder.
Boy we miss you Mr. President!
This is what a President looks like
My dad was on the carrier that fired the missles....I just was told last weekend. I was only 3 yrs old at the time
the best president ever
This was a truely great and principled man. I wish we had someone like that in the whitehouse today.
Instead we have an individual that provides bailouts for buying too much house, is trying to destroy our healthcare system by spreading mediocrity and penalizes success thru increased taxation.
Great speech.
Ronald Reagan was a great American leader. Too bad no one has replaced him. Gaddafi would probably go the way of Noriega if the Gipper was still around.
Get him Ronnie!
Reagen was a wonderful man
I was there !
What a President we had in Ronald Reagan and what a piece of crap we have now!
Ronnie Raygun don't mess around.
when will we have another Reagan lead this country again?
290 thumbs up and 13 down. For a politician, that speaks for itself. I was 14 yrs old when this happened, and prouder than I am at 41. I used to watch him land in Palm Springs on my bicycle. Love this man and all he did for this nation. It has been all downhill since and will continue. Obama...your such a failure.
Wow a super president unlike the stupper president we have now
this is what a real amercain is about
Obama should listen to 3:40 mark.....but we all know he doesn't care.
All of them.
the greatest ever
RIP RR!! Wish you were here!!! You wouldn't out up with this shit!!
Thanks for posting. Please clean up the audio on these videos.
What little we all know.
In my opinion President Clinton took too long in quelling Milosevic, and should have acted in Rwanda (which he publicly regretted not doing). In a largely domestically involved decade he did a great job, but his foreign policy and lack of combating terrorism led to some of the international crises that went on and are still going on today
Holding people responsible, and actually following through with things obama take note
I smell history repeating.
Lets talk ten terms.
Stranger things brought me here.... But that was 1983.
@fredricks74
My thoughts exactly...
@littlelouie11 Reagan actually used a lot of common sense and compromise, he wouldn't be president today. He was known on Fridays to have a drink and a laugh with Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill (heaven forbid a Dem and a Rep have a moment to chill). He'd be impeached for that now.
"Tonight...we have."
...and Gadaffi crawled into a hole after this, and cried like a baby.
@MsBeccaLeigh which carrier my father was on the coral sea when we fired on libya
@Cbarrett94 Not anymore! :)
Obama should be watching this mans tapes so he can learn how to lead
What an amazing speech. Obama needs to read this and crooked Hillary. Last two minutes so poignant and powerful.
Well you're pretty good old son, but sit down in that chair right there, lemme show you how it's done. I hate war, but if you're gonna do something, do it.
how many are there?
UndeadReagan2016
hi
@3dofanatic Agreed, and Hillary Clinton and the U.N better just deal with Gadaffi, and stop whining and moaning about a no fly zone and what not.
yup very true. even President bush didn't use a teleprompter for some speeches. just a few. but Obama was lost at a speech when the teleprompter broke.
IYAOYAS!!!!!!
Horse feathers!
I wish Obama would take care of the Somalian pirates like Reagan took care of those Libyan terrorists. 86 seems like such a long time ago.
Obama - Listen to 2:59 and 6:30, end of issue and $4+ gas.
He could try.....spend two trillion dollars, and then blame George Bush for the bad job....
Reagan endorsed Ron Paul.
gotta be fair. I am against Obama on many fronts, But as far as the war on terrorism goes he has been pretty tight, Reagan was great, but its not fair to call the current president a "piece of crap" on this issue. He makes Reagan look like Carter. Put simply even if u disagree on many issues don't merge that with terrorism response. IMO he has been a bit too aggressive.
