Political Quotes

“I join the Republican leader in extending my sympathies to the entire Reagan family. Nancy Reagan was a wonderful First Lady. She was also an incredible individual in her own right. She was always gracious and charming. The last time I saw Nancy Reagan, she was here in the Rotunda of the Capitol dedicating a statue of her husband, President Ronald Reagan. At that time, she was already well into her late eighties, but there she was, standing next to his statue with a big smile on her face. Her very presence brightened the entire Hall--she and Ronald Reagan standing together, he in the form of a statue, she standing next to him, together. It really was a fantastic picture. Nancy, of course, will be missed. I say, though, my mind returns to a different time. It reminds me of the years Ronald Reagan was in the White House--a card-carrying conservative, yet a very pragmatic Republican. The Nation will miss First Lady Nancy Reagan and miss her partner, the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. ____________________”
