As we approach the centennial of the birth of Ronald Reagan this Sunday (Which I promise I will touch upon on Sunday), Republicans, Conservatives and those reminiscent of the presidency of Ronald Reagan are fondly remembering the events leading up to and including his presidency.
On Friday evening, I had the pleasure of attending the New Jersey Reagan Day dinner. At this gathering in Morris County, New Jersey's most populous Republican County, 600 gathered, with such famous faces as Assemblyman Jay Webber, Senator Joe Pennacchio, Assemblyman Alex DeCroce, and former Governor Thomas Kean, among others, to hear Michael Reagan, Ronald Reagan's first son, give the keynote address of the evening's event. Michael Reagan shared memories that spoke of the character of Ronald Reagan, the leadership of Ronald Reagan, how Reagan's character and leadership is sorely missing in Washington today, and the impression his father had upon him.
Below are two clips of Michael Reagan's keynote speech. In the fist clip, Michael Reagan speaks of his father, his reaction to the 1976 Primary, which he lost and his 1976 Republican National Convention speech. In the second clip, Michael Reagan speaks of his father's ability to teach, as well as his act of keeping a promise.
"The 'Right' Solutions" would like to give an extreme Hat Tip and thank you to Jay Webber and the New Jersey Reagan Day organization for a successful and enjoyable event that did a great job in remembering the legacy of the greatest President of the 20th Century!
