Ronald Reagan actually said...

"In celebrating the 250th birthday of George Washington, we commemorate the birth of a man whose unsurpassed contributions to our nation place him first in the hearts of all patriotic Americans."

"We know that there have been problems from both the left and the right."

"Without the faith and vision of General Washington, our democratic experiment might well have expired at an early age."

"I think that they're concerned about, again, that we might be going into an inflationary spiral. I don't think we are."
