President Ronald Reagan dies at the age of 93
President Reagan died today at the age of 93. I didn't know much about him, but I'm sure he was a great president, and I am saddened by the loss of the former president...

So sad. He was president when I was born.
|
Jess just gave me the link, and I read some of article. I had a vision he was going to die soon, I was thinking it would happen and it would be all over the news...
|
Ronald Reagon died?! That's really sad. He was the president when I was born too. I never knew he was 93 years old. I thought he was in his 80's or something. I should check to see what they say on the news tonight. It's really sad that he died. :(

Here's the link Jess sent me:

Aww, my mom just told me. That's really sad. From what I've heard, he was a very good president. His wife was a good person too; she did a lot to support him. Even though he had alzheimers, (Did I spell that right?) it's still sad.
|
I just checked to see if anything was on TV, and there is a special on ABC about it right now. I don't see it on any other channel though. :(
|
:sob:
Reagan was a great person and president alike. I'm just shocked by this tragic loss. :'( *Wonders if the Flames/Lightning game will get cancelled* It's been just over a decade since the last presidential death. (Richard Nixon, 4/22/94, exactly a month before my dad turned 35.) |
It's on just about every news station. Try channel 360 (If you have satellite). That's Fox news, and they seem to be telling a lot about it. Atleast, they were when I went downstairs a minute ago. I don't know about now, but most likely...

Here's a little something I whipped up:

Here's to the best president of modern times...I don't remember anything of his presidency since I was 1 when he left office, but I do know he was a very good president and a very good person...I greatly respect him and all of America is hurt by his loss...

I was watching Fox News when they told about this. To me Ronald Reagon was the best president of the 20th Century. He was liked by so many people. And he did great things when he was the president. I was also born when he was the president. This is a real sad day.
|
I just was watching the news when I saw the news about his death. I had recenlty visisted the Ronald Reagan library here in California when he was still alive. This day IS sad.

Farewell, Reagon! |
This is really sad. I didn't know a whole lot about Reagan... but he was a good president. I was also born while he was president. I'm not sure if there is anything in the Constitution about 3 terms... but I know that it was a tradition to only hold two terms because Washington only took two terms. But I oculd be wrong... civics isn't my best class...

I just found out.....It IS very sad..... I mean A president! it doesnt happen every day :(
|
There actually is a constitutional amendment that bans a president from having more than two terms...it was enacted by President Eisenhower back in the 50s :P
|
Too bad he died without knowing that he was a president. He died not knowing who his wife was.

Whatever the original consititution was... I think I like it better. XD
|
Oh, so that's who that old dude was. I saw him on the news tonight, but didn't catch his name. LOL, I hope he was a good president, I wouldn't know - we don't have presidents here, only really stupid PMs XD
|
Didn't three presidents die on same day back a long time ago? Pnuemonia kills...
|
On July 4th, 1826, exactly 50 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died...
I actually feel sort of bad for knowing all this o_o;; |
Quote:
|
Yeah, they really hated each other from what I read...Adams was a Federalist (the last Federalist present we ever had...they supported the rich over the poor and stuff like that) and Jefferson was a Democrat-Republican (back when they were a united party...they were for the common man or some sort of economic policy that benefitted them better or something...)
Adams was actually pretty insane...he had laws passed that prevented freedom of speech and the press and all that and had other laws that discriminated against foreigners (The Alien and Sedition Acts or something like that) he was like our worst president ever :P |
There were two full pages dedicated to Reagan in our (spreadsheet) newspaper this morning... it was rather interesting, actually. All his acting and stuff.
|
We had to watch a video (as usual) in Social Studies about each president, and that's how I knew. I don't feel bad for knowing, since I didn't know every detail.
I used to kidn of like Ronald Reagan, until I found out he was a republican, but who cares. He's a person, and it's always sad to lose someone. |

It had every president on the video, but we only got up to...20 I think. We always watch stupid videos. We just finished glory, which I slept through 2/3s of the way.
|
Omg, I'm so glad I didn't have to watch something like that in history. Instead I had to listen to my teacher talk about each one of them, which I tried to sleep through, but he really gets into his lectures, and gets really loud. I did watch Glory for extra credit, but the main character was such a bad actor, he kinda ruined the entire movie.
|
That's the point of presidents - they sit there and look pretty XD
|
I think that most of our recent presidents have done more harm than good, espically Bush. They don't really do what a president should do, but do whatever they think will get them popularity among voters. First we were fighting Iraq becuase they had weapons of mass destruction. (Which we have the most of...) Then, when they found none, the war was about helping Iraq by blowing up inncoent people. My point: Bush has no idea what he is doing.
|
It is wise to remember that politics have no place at PC :);;
All presidents have done their share of harm, actually, some more than others, but I'm sure there's never been a president that doesn't have someone's blood on their hands...well maybe William Henry Harrison...he was only prez for 30 days :P I'm glad we didn't have to learn about each individual president in school...we were taught about the more important ones, but I couldn't imagine going through a lecture on James K. Polk or Chester A. Arthur ... instead we get bored learning about all sorts of stuff...I'm glad I had World History this year, the rest of the world is so much more interesting than us ;P |
Whoops sorry, didn't know.
Heh, I think that some parts of the world have a more interesting history than us, but I hate history in general so I don't really enjoy any of it. |
Yesterday at exactly 4:10 PM EST.. O_o He died b/c he was old.
|
Me and my dad were watching the Belmont Stakes when this program thing popped up about how he died. My dad was really POed that he had to die on the day of the Belmont. It was acually kinda funny to see how my dad reacted to a former president dying.

From my studies of U.S. History this past year, Ronald Reagan was a great president. He is credited with bringing the political scene to what it is today, and of course reinventing the Republican party to what it is today, as opposed to what it was during the Kennedy-Nixon-Ford-Carter years... |
