The media is naturally making a slightly bigger deal that today marks the 50th anniversary of JFK's inauguration. But it also marks the thirtieth anniversary of Ronald Reagan's inauguration. In a few weeks, we'll be commemorating his 100th birthday, remembering him with nostalgia and fondness. He's missed in a country with so much polarization, demonization. Yes, he had his critics in the day, and he was hated by the far left. But he was a man from a different age, and this country needs his kind of leadership.
And my concept of what was 50 years ago, or 30 years ago, certainly has changed, right? 1961 does not seem so long ago, and neither does 1981, especially 1981. And yes, ten years ago today President George W. Bush was sworn into office. I remember that day, being there with Andrea and meeting Liz for drinks...actually, how funny is it that a full decade later, I'm meeting her for dinner. So happy to have been friends with her for over a decade. Wow how does time fly.
