25 years ago today Ronald Reagan was shot. It didn't stop him from being the
greatest President of the 20th century.

Glory!

I was underway between Subic bay and Deigo Garcia 25 years ago today. A
guy on the ship said he had a dream of the president getting shot, and
we heard it about it later in the day. Spooky

Were we you when Regan was shot?

No, William Howard Taft was the GREATEST U.S. President of
the 20th century.

"Needing a big bathtub, Taft had a 7' long 41" wide tub
installed that could accommodate 4 normal-sized men."

There are certainly many superlatives that could be applied
to President Reagan, but he was not specifically the
"greatest." For example, Reagan had the most successful
career in Hollywood of any U.S. President. He was the first
Governor of California to succeed to the Presidency. Reagan
was the only divorced President. He was the first
cnservative President to appoint a woman to the Supreme
Court. And so on.

Just because I found it somewhat interesting, here are some
more facts about Taft:


** *** ** *** ** begin quote ** *** ** *** **

William Howard Taft was the first president to have a car at
the White House (he had the White House stables converted
into a 4-car garage), to throw out the first ball to begin
the professional baseball season, and the first president to
be buried in the National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.

Arizona became a state on February 14, 1912. Making Taft the
first President of 48 states.

Taft liked milk so much that he brought his own cow to the
White House. The cows name was Mooly Wolly. Mooly was
replaced by another cow called Paulin. Paulin was the last
cow to graze on the White House lawn.

Taft had no military experience and there were no wars
fought during his term.

Many other things stopped him from being the greatest President of the
20th century, but you are correct that it wasn't that bullet.

Regan was in the know about aliens & UFO's.

I thought that was his wife....

She was into astrology.

Regan was allowed to view the craft and dead alien pilots. He often
made refrences to it.
Remember the UN speech about it?
