Even though I'm a Liberal Democrat, I've always been intrigued and fascinated with Ronald Reagan. He was without a doubt one of the most articulate and well spoken Presidents ever in U.S. history.
A truly wonderful man! Strong, clean, wholesome, honest, direct, true and always good-natured. What a privilege it was to have had him as our president! As Mrs. Thatcher said so warmly, "He's a very great man." Yes. He was.
Would that his "line" never included the presidency. That is where the decline started. Disrespect for our government, disrespect for blacks, disrespect for those suffering economically, embracing evangelical Christianity as a voting bloc when he shared none of their beliefs. Jingoistic patriotism that led to humping the flag with Trump, and above all, outright treason in the Iran contra.
@@Operafreak9 seriously? disrespect for the bureaucracy perhaps - which it deserves. It's false to accuse him of racism. The economic rebound for which he is responsible did in fact lift everyone. You won't like reading this, if you do read it, but he and Trump have been the most successful of our recent presidents in having the lower income classes benefit from a strong economy. Jingoistic? Beats the heck out of lefties seemingly happy with the possibility of China becoming the dominant power in the world. Have you been sitting on evidence all these years that Reagan knew the details of the arms sale? LOL Even if he did, doesn't rise to treason. Sorry!
@@Operafreak9 How do you know that he didn't have Evangelical Christian beliefs? You can say what you will of his actions, sure, but nobody but him and God can say anything about his personal beliefs.
Good Day to all Thank you Movie Fan for sharing this Great Video of our Wonderful actor Ronald Reagan! Ronald Reagan was the greatest actor of all time!Ronald Reagan was the greatest President of all time,We Love President Ronald Reagan from all of our hearts!Very sincerlly TG.
Shows like this one should be reinstated on TV. It will not only entretain, but it will show today´s generations that good, clean and fun TV can achieve unknown heights then, now and always... Pablo Lozada Villahermosa, Tabasco Mexico
dwellguy Stole? It's called a 'reference' or 'homage'. I didn't say this claiming I came up with it originally, in fact if you didn't get the BTTF reference then this comment wouldn't make any sense! Please tell me your IQ is high enough that you understand this?
Dr Matt Phillips Sir, I assure you my IQ is just fine. I recognize that you can't get "tone" from a post so you couldn't tell I was saying that in jest...but I was. If you really are a doctor (I have several physician friends and all insist on not being referenced as "Dr" in personal conversations or correspondence), then you'll understand the value of taking your lisinopril and chilling out. God bless.
I'm not saying the 1950's were a perfect era. No era is, frankly. However, watching, catching myself smile and laugh I noticed it didn't take anything sexual, perverted, politically motivated, and was just good natured.
I was taught a lady would get up to greet another lady. But never to greet a man. A man in turn would get up to greet another man and a lady. Kids had the same rules that men had.
***** I remember this one time when some of my relatives and I were sitting at the table, and a friend of my mom and aunt's showed up. And my cousin (who was a boy and younger than me) didn't give this lady his chair so I did (and in the process got a complement from her, which meant the world to me since I thought she was the coolest). And of course everyone was rather appalled at his manners. sadly manners seem to be a thing of the past :(
In my opinion, Ronald Reagan was our best president since Franklin Roosevelt; there's a reason why he was almost unanimously elected in 1984. JFK would rank among the best since Roosevelt too, but Reagan was beloved not just as a president but a Hollywood actor as well. And Franklin was probably the best president since Lincoln IMO.
And whoever could have foreseen Mr. Reagan's future at this time in history? None of the panel knew they were talking to a future two-term US president. Indeed, one of the greatest presidents in American history and certainly the greatest president of our lifetime. He wasn't perfect but I had and have great respect for him. How we could use another Ronald Reagan in 21st century America.
All righty then. Obviously, Piglet, you're not a Reagan fan. I didn't say he was perfect, now did I? How about I ask you this question, did Iran-Contra have the devastating effects that the current US president's policies have had, e.g., Fast and Furious gun running to Mexico, enabling Mexican drug lords to acquire these weapons and use them against not just other Mexicans, but against Americans as well? Or how about his, gun running to Syria through Libya to oust Bashir Assad and resulting in the deaths of Americans at our Libyan consulate? Or how about this one, the ouster of the stable dictator, Hosne Mubarek, in Egypt, the murder of Mohamar Ghaddafi, who had become a sort of ally in the region because Reagan humbled him, and the premature withdrawal from Iraq, all of which has led to the rise of ISIS terrorism and a resulting refugee crisis that has practically set the world on fire? I rest my case. Reagan's sin doesn't look so bad when viewed through that lens now does it, Piglet? President Reagan took us through truly difficult times, that makes the 2008 debacle pale in comparison, and through mostly wise economic decisions, lowered drastically the unemployment rate and greatly reduced the Carter stagflation, and during his presidency and continuing on through Clinton, helped provide the greatest economic boom we've ever experienced in recent history. How do I know? Number one, he was proudly my commander in chief. Number two, I watched the transformation happen myself. Enough said? I suspect so.
and ruined it with his corporate sympathetic policies. the usa has been owned by corporations ever since. i thought it was ridiculous how the usa elected an actor, i found it to be so with the election of a heavy drinking son of an ex president who was painfully incompetent and laughable.................. then the usa elected a reality star, failed businessman and lifelong conman that had everything handed to him. the bar is so low now that i expect to see you elect someone that was on the jersey shore or george zimmerman.
We've done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for eight years did the work that brought America back. My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger. We made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all. And so, good-bye, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America. In closing,
you know your country is in bad shape when you have kids (like me) reminiscing about Reagan's times even though they were't born yet. God bless America and Mr. Reagan.
Some celebrities use the same squeak or whatever, for every answer and it’s disappointingly uninteresting considering that many of them are actors and could put on a character; that is exactly what Ronald Reagan did! Oh, so imaginative and funny! This was my favorite one.
@ironfist2libface I send a HUGE "Amen" to you! You are very brilliant and articulate. I love what you've written here! (My 3 favorite presidents are: Lincoln, Washington, and Reagan!) You really ought to have a talk show or a radio program--- you are very impressive, and honest!! Thank you. Many, oh, so many, more agree with you than the liberals would ever admit to. Many blessings!!
@MattTheSaiyan Three who didn't, who the panel was always trying to guess, were Bing Crosby, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presely. Almost everyone else in show biz who was famous at the time was on at one time or another. Harry Truman was supposed to be on, but was nixed by the sponsor, Remington Rand, at the insistence of company executive, ex-General Douglas MacArthur.
I liked the video because it showed a star who had a sense of humor and class, unlike a lot of new stars, and I could care less about the politics that others bring up here because this clip has nothing to do with politics.
Ronald Reagan grew up in Illinois. His father was a shoe salesman. When he was very young, his mother read to him, moving her finger under the words as she read aloud. He taught himself to read by looking at the words as she read, and by the time he was five years old he could read the newspaper.
No, I know very little about ex-presidents. But what I DO know is that he is ranked at the top by MOST people who HAVE researched it. Whether all of those people simply got it wrong or not, I'll never know because I have other things I'm doing that make me happy and spending the next 30 years reading about who liked who and why.... well, you have your opinions and you may be correct about it. Reagan was an actor. Lincoln had to deal with the war and slavery. tough job.
He had also just finished as president of the screen actors guild for the past 7 years prior to this show which included his testimony in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee. At the time of this show he was on the very popular GE Theater and still had a dozen more theatrical films ahead of him including The Winning Team with Doris Day, Cattle Queen of Montana with Barbara Stanwyck and Hellcats of the Navy with Nancy Reagan.
That phrase was the title of a book in which the philosopher dealt with the role of personality in history and the impact of that force on mankind: "The great man or woman in history is someone of whom we can say on the basis of the available evidence that if they had not lived when they did, or acted as they did, the history of their countries and of the world, to the extent that they are intertwined, would have been profoundly different.
well the guy had unbelievable magnetism and evoked a lot of optimism. . a lot of people remembered him from movies and he epitomized a nostalgic yearning for earlier days when many people felt the country was stronger, stabler, more cohesive, etc., whether those recollections were completely accurate or not.
let me thank you, the American people, for giving me the great honor of allowing me to serve as your president. When the Lord calls me home, whenever that day may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal optimism for its future. I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead.
As an actor he was certainly no Charlton Heston. As a politician he was second to none. It's sorta hard to argue with getting reelected in 49 out of 50 states.
@HAPPYTHELEAF Rewriting history will not change the love and admiration that millions of people around the world have for Ronald Reagan and the hope that he gave them for the future.

To explain Dorothy's "Dream Boat" question Ronald Reagan had just been voted as "America's Dream Boat" for some fan magazine or other. I just read that in a kid's book series on Presidents at Barnes & Noble! Reagan was teamed with Ann Sheridan at Warner Brothers for several films (Cowboy in Brooklyn, Juke Girl, The Angles Wash Their Faces, Naughty But Nice and the film Dorothy was talking about Kings Row).
