Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Yes, I think this is traditional with America."

"My message to this nation is: We can meet this challenge together, and we will, because all of us are creating something new and very much better than before."

"To the Congress of the United States: In accordance with the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, I herewith report two new deferrals of budget authority for 1984 totaling $299,000,000."

"I just think that I should keep on being President for 4 more years."
