QUOTE: Originally posted by ironhorseman Wow, I didn't realize it was his birthday. I had a grandma who died of Alzheimers. It's not an easy thing to go through. Seeing how this forum is turing into politics and other non-train-topics are we gonna see the Reagan bashers in here too? Maybe to keep this train-related we could talk about any movies he's been in with trains or maybe his 1984 re-election train special? I'm reading about in this book called "The President Travels By Train." Did anybody get to see it and what was it like? Where's the pullman he rode in now? My dad remembers another presidential train, the Eisenhower funeral train when came back to Abilene in 1969.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Willy2 Today, I would like to wish Ronald Reagan happy birthday. He is 93 years old. I think we should offer our prayers for him and Nancy Reagan. With his terrible memory loss, he and his family definitely deserve our prayers. Willy
QUOTE: [i] Despite having very little political or administrative smarts, and disasterous economic policy,..Ronald Reagan will be remembered as a great President. Why? Because he was a great actor, a "face man", a central focus to distract our attention while the "button and lever" men pulled the switches behind the scenes. Maybe we should consider adopting a political paradigm similar in concept to England,with their figurehead queen,..etc.[%-)]
QUOTE: Originally posted by greyhounds One more thing. How could a man be elected to head his union, be elected Govenor of California twice, and then President of the United States twice, by overwhelming majorities, and have "little political skills"? Ken Strawbridge
QUOTE: Originally posted by ironken Annother thing that the nearly late and great president Reagan did for us is singlehandedly began destroying Organized Labor with his Air Traffic Controllers Strike antics. No tears in my eyes here for him! All I have to say is one thing.......Happy Halloween agreement of '85. Ken
QUOTE: Originally posted by JoeKoh I remember Reagans whistle stop tour of Ohio.Came up the B&O through Deshler Lots of People. No Pics though. stay safe joe
Have fun with your trains
QUOTE: Originally posted by kevinstheRRman I think everyone realizes, not everyone will like every president, However i agree with, If you didn't vote, your not in a place to complain. And i'm not saying you as in YOU!, VSMITH YOU! i mean you as in a general statement.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Willy2 Even if he didn't do good as president Reagan still deserves a happy birthday! So instead of complaining about his job as president be nice and wi***he person happy birthday! (AFTER wishing him happy birthday you can complain about his job as president!)[:D] I still think that overall he did the job well. Willy

Don't forget that we are ALL human. That means we are NOT perfect. I know we all like to think of ourselves at times to be PERFECT. But we are not. There is only ONE person who is PERFECT: Our Lord God. And if he can forgive us our stupid thoughts, we should forgive other's stupid thoughts also. President Reagan is just as human as we are. Maybe he did some things wrong as President, but he does have a disease which is taking his memory more and more each day. Please, everyone, just wish him a Happy Birthday, and remember him and his family in your prayers. They are going through an awful lot, and they need our prayers. Not our blasting the man for anything he did in the past. Remember what Jesus told the people in a talk one time: LET HIM WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE. We people on this earth are definitely NOT without sin, so we shouldn't be casting stones at anyone. Enough said. cherokee woman "O'Toole's law: Murphy was an optimist."
