I did have respect for him until I learned that he was the first president since Nixon to interfere, persuaded on by Maggie Thatcher, to dictate to, the US Grand Jury selling my much loved ex boss down the river in the process.
Ronald Reagan can rot in hell for all I care, what he did was illegal, Nixon had to pay for it, Reagan didn't!
I watch McCain make an ass of himself last night
Referred to Russia as the "Soviet Union" whilst talking about the recent nuclear reduction agreement.
He then got a reminder and said "I mean the former Soviet Union.
To bloody old for that level of leadership !!!!!!
Mind you - to long around S Palin could do that to anyone :-))))))
When President Reagan came to Pierce College in Southern California for his re-election rally, I went to see him. He had dignitaries like Howard Jarvis, Pete Wilson, Frank Sinatra, Rosie Grier, and of course, Nancy Reagan with him. I took pictures and sent it to him to be signed. He did. I now have unpublished pictures of the event signed by President Reagan.
Quite possibly, but he was sitting among the dignitaries. There were a few on people on the surroundings with eyes like hawks, obviously secret service agents.
Rosie Grier was a NFL football player turned actor!! Raiders I think? He was on the old TV show "Daniel Boone", and a few other programs, mostly sitcoms. I think he is long gone though??
I just read Rosey Grier's biography. He was a bodyguard to Ethel Kennedy, Robert Kennedy's wife, and was instrumental in disarming Kennedy's assassin, Sirhan Sirhan. He was a member of the New York Giants and of the "Fearsome Foursome" of the Los Angeles Rams. He is still alive and is now 79.
