A bittersweet moment and a reminder of what real class is like!

Former first lady Nancy Reagan wipes a tear as she stands with House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) in front of the newly-unveiled statue of her late husband, former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, during a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda on Capitol Hill in Washington June 3, 2009.

What a great man. I believe I’ve told this story before, but…I joined the Air Force in late ‘79. I spent one very long, horrible year with Jimmy Carter as CinC. Ronald Reagan raised the moral of the military almost overnight. I spent 10 years in the Air Force and wore my uniform with pride. We were actually allowed to wear it off-base when President Reagan took over. Then Bush I took office and tried to play nice with the democrats. But that’s another story.

Watching the clip, I kept hoping the statue would animate and slap Pelosi across the rotunda. :-)

I watched the event and was thrilled at the whole thing – A great remembrance of a great president and a classy former first lady. What ruined it for me was mama Pelosi hovering around Mrs. Reagan. What made it really special was that the Obamas weren’t there trying to steal the limelight.

God Bless America, Nancy Reagan and the Gipper!

Nancy Pelosi was bouncing around like a meth’d up beach ball. She is such a twit. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

Nancy Reagan, on the other hand, has more class in her little fingernail than Pelosi could ever hope to buy. God bless her.

President Reagan the soft spoken man who made us proud to be Americans.

I have the greatest respect and admiration for Nancy Reagan, a little frail lady with the heart of a lion.

@Aqua:

I think RR actually did that to BO when NR innocently took on his persona in calling him a lefty. lol I kinda believe her now when she said he still hangs around taking care of her. :D

Wonderful statue and ceremony. However given the coloring of the materials, does that make Ronald Reagan the first Black President?
