Back days when democratic and republicans respect each other on the stage right after campaign.

Fun fact: 4 days after this, Ted Bundy would be executed.

This is a real American President. The first President I was really aware of when I was growing up. A dignified and intellectual figure. I hope America can get back to this style of leadership.

My mother actually met him in the early 90s before I was born. I still have a photograph of him and my mom at an airline to this day. He is truly timeless. Still one of the most unforgettable leaders in our nation's history.

One of the last great President's. I remember him as a child. Even though I became a democrat. This is one Republican President I would have voted for. No human is perfect, but you can tell this man was of goodness. R.I.P Mr. President

What a inspiring, powerful speech. This man was a man of principle and dignity

[islandersfan]

I miss this kind of Republican Party. Back when they and Democrats may not always see eye to eye, but they always believed they can work stuff out together and stay unified for the sake of the country’s democracy and laws and constitution.



Sad this won’t be coming back.

[travissanders]

Rest in peace mr. President and Godspeed
