Even now, 36 years later...Reagan's first inaugural speech is still emotionally stirring, profoundly inspirational, fresh and even relavant to these strange times that we now live in. President Trump would do well to borrow heavily from President Reagan's wisdom and guidance, moving forward. God Bless You, Ronnie! May you and your beloved Nancy forever Rest in Peace.
I was only a child during most of his administration, but I grew up to greatly admire and love this man. He is one of my most beloved leaders from our history. Here we see a real American, a true leader and a one of a kind President. God bless this man's name and memory. We miss you, Mister Reagan. What we wouldn't say or do that we could have your wit and wisdom leading us again.
I have seen the Election Video of Reagan. I couldnt believe my eyes as i saw, that almost all the States of the US elected him. Can somebody tell me, why and what he did? I'm from Germany and I am just interested! Thanks
During Ronald Reagan term in office he expressed to notion of living within your means. For a man had special intrest group within the country he kept his relations true and sincere. Steve Jobs (CEO And founder of Apple computers) was very happy with is support for Steve Jobs amibitions in creating the Apple Computer for americans to enrtertain and educate themsleves into products of the Apple Generation.
+Miller Ramsey You might not agree with his policies but Obama is that type of leader. Obama has a similarly strong presence and optimism to him as Ronald Reagan did. If you let go of your bias and really listen to Obama as he talks you will see the strength of his leadership. I truly love Ronald Reagan as a role model and great American leader but coming from a liberal background where I can hear Obama talk without prejudice towards him, I truly believe he is also a great leader and role model to the American people. At least those who are willing to hear him out.
Truly one of the BEST inaugural speeches ever! Especially the last words... "After all....WE are Americans!" So well done and said. I never tire of hearing this speech. God Bless President Reagan.
StraightFashionMan Deficit spending in debt to GDP ratio went up by 11.3% in Reagan's first term and 9.3% in his second term. It has gone up 18.5% in Obama's first term, and who knows how much more in his second term, so try again...
You could see that Ronald Reagan truly cared about america and was a true patriot as well. I miss his comfort and leadership. Something we so severely miss today. What has this country done to herself?
"In this present crisis, Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem!" at 6:48. One of the greatest lines ever in a Presidential Inaugural, outside of Washington's 1st inaugural, Lincoln's 1st inaugural, and Lincoln's 2nd inaugural.
What an excellent speech. Somebody who actually believed in something! I can clearly tell from his words why he was friends with Margaret Thatcher. A perfect political match.
It is not about color of president Obama skin .It about his policys that is based on the goverment knowing how to control free people lives. Those industries were saved by people the or customers that those products not by man who saves unions that donate money to him. Listen to video on words Reagan speaks it is about free people knowing how control themselves far greater than a government
corey oldknow You're exactly right. Like "Ben Leal" below, instantly brings race into the issue if you don't agree Obama is a great President. I don't care what color Obama is....his is a horrible President.....period.... We need another Reagan.
Throughout the entire speech, President Carter conducted himself with the utmost honor; that is, being respectful of the President of the United States of America.
It is time to reawakening this industrial giant, to get government back within its means and these will be our first priorities and on these principles there will be no compromise. ~ R.Reagan
Happy Birthday Mr President. Thank you for your service to save our country. Your vision and leadership turned the tide of socialism in the United Stated, & so drastically so that the wall around the evil empire fell. I look forward to seeing you in heaven, for you are a Blessed man. Our nation is hurting, the people have lost their way & have turned to that evil socialist way again. I pray that a new leader will rise up, that we can follow, and that our best days will again be ahead of us
Some thoughts from The Gipper to Republicans taking a historic majority tonight - don't be afraid of why voters put you there, we are a people with a government, not the other way around. Get government off our backs. Nov 4, 2014
Great speech, words to live by.. but you still have to convince congress, not always easy. He did cut government, but expanded the military. One of his greatest achievements was closing those mental health gulags, yet he has the stain of contra gate. He was not perfect. but who is.
Rand Paul is a libertarian, i.e. social liberal who supports capitalism, he is not a conservative. Marco Rubio is an establishment Republican who supported Romney behind the scenes in the Florida 2012 GOP presidential primary. Neither will become GOP presidential nominee because they both support amnesty for illegal immigrants. Conservatives have to look to the governors such as Susanna Martinez of NM or Mike Pence of IND or even Senator Ted Cruz of TX for the next conservative president.
I come here often to remember what a real American acts like.
Even now, 36 years later...Reagan's first inaugural speech is still emotionally stirring, profoundly inspirational, fresh and even relavant to these strange times that we now live in. President Trump would do well to borrow heavily from President Reagan's wisdom and guidance, moving forward. God Bless You, Ronnie! May you and your beloved Nancy forever Rest in Peace.
What a great day that must have been for all Reagan supporters. The beginning of eight fantastic years with Mr. Reagan at the helm.
He sure is one of the best!! Did you see how he praised Jimmy Carter instead of blaming him?
God bless Ronald Reagan. May God bless and protect our 45th president, Donald J. Trump.
the greatest President of the United States
Great respect and memory for great Leader 🇺🇸
🕊️🇵🇱🤝
We miss you President Reagan!!!
God Bless and Rest Easy President and Mrs. Reagan!
Remember when America had a real president
I was only a child during most of his administration, but I grew up to greatly admire and love this man. He is one of my most beloved leaders from our history. Here we see a real American, a true leader and a one of a kind President. God bless this man's name and memory. We miss you, Mister Reagan. What we wouldn't say or do that we could have your wit and wisdom leading us again.
What a sharp contrast between President Reagan and what we have posing as a president in 2015. May God bless and have mercy on America and her people.
Everyone should listen to this at this time in our history!
What a great man. I was on the Mall that day. God bless Ronald Wilson Reagan.
My God, please send us again a world leader like this.
in our modern society he is the greatest president
Reading Mr. President Reagan's autobiography recently. It makes me think a lot. Great to watch this video.
Obama went from 9 trillion to 17 trillion.
Reagan's doesn't look as bad....
I have seen the Election Video of Reagan. I couldnt believe my eyes as i saw, that almost all the States of the US elected him. Can somebody tell me, why and what he did? I'm from Germany and I am just interested! Thanks

How uplifting! Too bad Trump is not Reagan.
If i could ever meet with someone, I think It would be Billy Graham
I apologize for myself and Mr. Beam for the misspelling of the Presidents name.
まじアメリカ、住も。NY行けるかどうか。12:20
lol all the reagan youths on here
Dude, he doubled the national debt. :|
Reagan was a legend! America needs somebody like him again!!!
Why? do you want to INCREASE the national deficit?
StraightFashionMan We want an economic boom, low taxes controlled spending, and a powerful military.
RobbyGAMEZ army, been reduced, Air Force is looking for excuses to remover personnel, and after reagan left office our navy was cut by more than half.
Regardless of these cutbacks, our military is still the most powerful and well funded on the planet.
RobbyGAMEZ not the most well funded in combat-related fields.
God Bless you, President Reagan
We need a leader like him again

Rest in peace Mrs Reagan.
Truly one of the BEST inaugural speeches ever! Especially the last words... "After all....WE are Americans!" So well done and said. I never tire of hearing this speech. God Bless President Reagan.
Reagan! Reagan! Reagan! America needs you now!
Why? Does America need a higher deficit?
StraightFashionMan Deficit spending in debt to GDP ratio went up by 11.3% in Reagan's first term and 9.3% in his second term. It has gone up 18.5% in Obama's first term, and who knows how much more in his second term, so try again...

And it applies today gov't isn't the solution it's the problem.
Don't forget Kennedy's!
where did all the great presidents go. someone that loved usa?
greatest president that has ever lived
Wish he could have run for a third term. I was too young in 1980 and 1984.
I was born 1989, the year Bush Sr was elected.
WOW! What a great man! We need another one like him NOW.
What an excellent speech. Somebody who actually believed in something! I can clearly tell from his words why he was friends with Margaret Thatcher. A perfect political match.
Even though trump just got elected, I hope deep down he can be genuine like this guy
I get goosebumps and teary eyes every time I see this. What a great man, things would be so much different if he was President today.
It is not about color of president Obama skin .It about his policys that is based on the goverment knowing how to control free people lives. Those industries were saved by people the or customers that those products not by man who saves unions that donate money to him.

You can't tell that to obamas'supporters. Dislike towards Obama is considered racism. Did like towards Hillary will be sexism.
corey oldknow Policies*

I needed to listen to this again...especially TODAY! Miss you, fine Sir...Mr.President!!
Trump is like a mere amateur compared to this guy.
I was there
the speech that launched the economic boom we experienced until the decline of 2008
It is time to reawakening this industrial giant, to get government back within its means and these will be our first priorities and on these principles there will be no compromise. ~ R.Reagan
We are Americans
I wonder if Trump ever saw this?😡A PEACEFUL TRANSITION OF POWER
Maybe GOD will send us another President R.Reagan
our nations greatest President
The Gipper at his finest. :)

Ronaldus Magnus, the predecessor of Donaldus Magnus !!!
The official end of the Progressive era on this day in 1981.
One of last honorable presidents.
No man that i can recall has expressed that much love for our country than Ronald Reagan. His soul is sourly missed
Makes me smile.

He meant to this country and brought pride of being america he was for america god bless this man greatest president during our time.
tour a Marine home !
merca
people wonder why Reagan was so good.... 12:30 explains it
What's the name of the song played at 1:40

The beginning of the end.
