Ronald Reagan Centennial  |
| |
|  There will be a year-long celebration next year celebrating President Reagan's 100th birthday, which was Feb. 6, 1911. Part of the significance of Reagan's birthday celebration is that it will not be celebrated using the taypayers' $$ as have so many other presidents' 100-year birthdays. From CBSNews.com:
"Most of the events staged in the past to celebrate the bicentennial or centennial of a U.S. president or first lady were paid for with money appropriated by Congress. But the proclamation signed by President Barack Obama last year to set up a commission for the Reagan centennial does not require federal funding."
I think Reagan would want it that way, don't you?

| |  I would be offended if they did us taxpayer money. Taxpayer money should not be used to celebrate any one's birthday.

| | It is offensive, but the past presidents' 100th birthday celebrations have been funded by Congressional appropriations. | | | |

| | I don't know that it would be personal not to fund it, but Obama declared after his election that the Reagan era is over. Also, there isn't any money left, and the Reagan celebration isn't liberal pork. | | | |

| | I think liberals are trying with all their efforts to sweep Ronald Reagan's legacy out of the public eye. Obviously, he was one of the greatest presidents of the 20th century, and he took a bad economy and did what Obama doesn't seem to be concerned about, put people back to work and pulled the country out of recession. | | | |

| |  I agree, I do think he would want it that way. I think it should be that way for all. Let people voluntarily give to this fund. This will ensure that the celebration will reflect the service.

| | I think President Reagan would rather not be honored than to borrow money from China to pay for his celebration. | | | |

| |  Reagan would have wanted it that way...and I think it ought to be that way from here on...to include when Obama turns 100.
