  I think President Reagan would be disgusted with what is going on in the swamp these days.

  “Freedom is fragile. Teach your children what it means to be an American.” Wise man. We need this type of leadership now more than ever.

  I am an Australian. This is the very first time that I have seen this speech, it won't be the last. I only wish that we in Australia could be lucky enough to get a bloke like this to lead our government rather than the dropkicks we have been stuck with over the last decade. I had tears in my eyes bye the time President Reagan finished his address. WHAT A GREAT BLOKE!!

  I’m a Democrat, and I wasn’t around when Reagan was president, but I’ll say this: whatever you think of him, as a politician or an individual, Ronald Reagan was an excellent orator. I know he didn’t write most of his speeches, but he knew how to deliver them better than the large majority of public figures from the era of recorded audio. He spoke clearly, at a steady pace, and he knew how to use vocal inflections and tone, which so many today—Republican or Democrat, public figure or ordinary person—do not. <br><br>I can’t lie; his delivery and his positive disposition inspire me to believe even now that America can still harness the potential that he so often talked about.<br><br>There are so few politicians today who are good orators, and there are even fewer, in either party, that make me feel as confident in what the country is capable of as Reagan does when I listen to him.
