Friday Mourning
By Matt Margolis | June 10, 2004
Over the past six days, I’ve heard lots of reflections on Ronald Reagan… by people who had met him, or were moved by him and his legacy. I don’t remember much of his presidency… I was born the year he was elected President and wasn’t cognizant of politics. During Reagan’s presidency I didn’t know what a Democrat or a Republican was - but I knew who the President of the United States was when I saw him on TV.
I may not be able to remember much of Reagan’s presidency, but I will remember and honor his legacy. As a child, I never saw Reagan as a politician, I saw him as a leader.
President Bush declared this Friday, June 11, 2004, to be a National Day of Mourning in the United States, in honor and memory of President Reagan. I will observe the National Day of Mourning by not blogging.
God Bless Ronald Reagan.

Ronald Reagan: The man who ended the American “malaise” under Carter, rejuvinated the economy, ended communism and made Americans feel proud about their country again. It was a sad day indeed.
“Big government isn’t the answer to our problems, big government is the problem.”

Ron Reagan — “Dad was also a deeply, unabashedly religious man. But he never made the fatal mistake of so many politicians wearing his faith on his sleeve to gain political advantage. True, after he was shot and nearly killed early in his presidency, he came to believe that God had spared him in order that he might do good. But he accepted that as a responsibility, not a mandate. And there is a profound difference.”

Why Cole thinks that’s some kind of “Gotchya” statement I have no idea. I know why he thinks it is.. but he’s really “scraping the bottom of the barrell” on that one

Matt, that last statement has to be one your best non sequiturs ever. Keep it up!
