Default President Reagan Died Today at 93

A great man, a great president, and a great era ..... no political debates are intended but to remember a man who pulled us (US, Europe, & everyone) through the cold war. Probably a blessing for him since he suffered for so many years. A hero in his own time, RIP.

Very sad news indeed....that was a terrible illness though he had to suffer for the last ten years so I am sure it was a welcome release at the end.

Whatever one can say about his politics.. Mr. Regan had the most profound effect on american economics since the new deal. His actions to rescind the US' stagflation will forever ring through our history. I salute the man.
RIP. Ronald Reagan.

Why so technical, the man died of old age. 93.
Despite being an actor, he will go down as one of the most influential presidents the US ever had.

No matter what party you were from you just had to love him.
He was a great leader and had integrity and character that is all to
uncommen in this modern era.

One thing that has always amazed me about Ronald Reagan is how
he spent so much time writing letters to plain ordinary American
citizens even while he was president. :shock: And these were not small
slopped together letters, he spent time on each one making it was
just right.

I also would like to commend Nancy Reagan. Behind every great man
there is a great women and Nancy is indeed a great women. The way
she delt with the alzheimer's right up to the end shows that she is a
great women.

I didn't know he died until I went to yahoo and that was the major headline in the middle of the page. It's a sad day as he did affect everyone's life in a way.
