Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

On this day in history …
Per my super-awesome Reagan Ranch calendar:
Ronald Reagaon accepts Republican nomination for president (1980)
Sigh. Memories …
“As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; we will not surrender for it, now or ever.
Our forbearance should never be misunderstood. Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will. When action is required to preserve our national security, we will act. We will maintain sufficient strength to prevail if need be, knowing that if we do so we have the best chance of never having to use that strength.
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today’s world do not have. It is a weapon that we as Americans do have. Let that be understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbors.” — Ronald Reagan – Inaugural Address – 1/20/1981

The Swimmer, Dingy Harry and Pelo’che need to revisit those words and try to answer at least in part, why they act like the rest of America’s enemies.
That’s my second-favorite picture of the Gipper.
My favorite was of him taking a stroll at Camp David with Margaret Thatcher. The two are deep in conversation. Reagan is gesturing, making a point.
It’s the second-to-last one on this page:

The topic? Who knows, but we can speculate that it was probably the Cold War. In my mind, I title that picture “The Peacemakers,” as the photo shows these two great leaders who lead the demise of an empire without a massive war. I love that picture because it reminds me so much of this painting of a scene from the Civil War, titled “The Peacemakers”:

It depicts Generals Sherman and Grant, President Lincoln and Admiral Porter one month before the end of the war, and the topic was ending the war quickly without much further bloodshed–and “letting ‘em up easy.”
RONALDUS MAXIMUS: The Right man, in the Right place, at the Right time!
Apparently these days this only holds true if you are a Republican.
Again, apparently these days only if you are a Republican.
God Love you forever Ronald Reagan. How we need your strength and courage today. We miss you so very much. – Lorica
My favorite of Reagan is Dark Victory with Bette Davis. If you haven’t seen it, rent it. It is difficult to imagine a better looking guy than Reagan drunk in the bar in a tuxedo in that film.
