Reagan Pokes Fun At Dems

As the GOP assumes control of the 114th Congress, boasting the House’s largest majority in 70 years and the Senate now in command of a 54-46 edge, I can’t help but harken back to the Great Communicator, President Ronald Reagan, in one of his lighter moments. Although the following clip might be a repeat from a more expansive video on this blog in the past, it makes me swell with pride with the passing of the gavel in Washington and, yes, takes a small jab at the other side of the aisle.

The Humor of Ronald Reagan

This week, LOL features the wit and wisdom of The Great Communicator, President Ronald Reagan. He had an innate talent for one-liners and stories that even his adversaries admired, and his ability to charm any crowd kept his popularity high. Among his most memorable moments was when he exploited his own age, aiming jokes squarely at himself.

“One of my favorite quotations about age comes from Thomas Jefferson,” Reagan said. “He said that we should never judge a president by his age, only by his work. And ever since he told me that I’ve stopped worrying. Just to show you how youthful I am, I intend to campaign in all 13 states.”

Enjoy this remarkable compilation of humorous gems from Reagan, presented by the Reagan Club. And come back and visit us here on LOL next Tuesday for another bite of the lighter side of life. — The Wickel
