Wake Up and Laugh – President Ronald Reagan

Reagan was not just a great president, he could tell a joke, on the fly, and inject humor into the business of politics, perhaps better than any president I can remember.

This series of clips is 42 minutes long, and I’d never ask any of you to watch all of that, but you’ll only need a few minutes. He made the press laugh, he made his political opponents laugh, he just had a way of lightening the mood like no one I’ve ever seen.

Never crass of indignant, the epitome of the classy guy having a bit of fun and inviting us all along for the ride.

When you have time, watch it all but for now, a few minutes may turn into a few more, and that’s up to you.
