The Gipper's 100th

Yesterday we celebrated the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's  birthday. See me Valley and the Reagan Museum was alive with patriots and dignitaries, I didn't care too much for any of them other than Gary Sinise and Sarah Palin. They both knocked it out of the park as far as I was concerned.

Gary Sinise has done more for our troops and our veterans than anyone I can even think of, he has taken planeloads of school supplies and toys to the kids of Iraq. He gave a very inspiring speech during the celebration. He highlighted so many of Reagan's policy decisions and principles. If he ever decides to run for office at the national level or the state of California I will vote for him.
Gov. Palin also gave an extremely inspirational speech, I really hope that that was the prelude to a run for the White House in 2012. I found this article about her speech at Reuters.

Palin says Obama's policies have US on road to ruin 

At Reagan celebration, says government has lost way

By John Whitesides

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Feb 4 (Reuters) - Republican Sarah Palin said on Friday an explosion of government spending and debt under President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats had put the United States on "the road to ruin."

In a tribute to former President Ronald Reagan, the potential 2012 White House contender said leaders in Washington had lost sight of the values that made Reagan a Republican icon and a hero to conservatives -- a belief in limited government, low taxes and personal freedoms.

 

I could not agree with her more, Obama is hell-bent on taking us into oblivion. I just hope I am alive long enough to see him thrown out of office, in 2012 if not sooner.
