Recordo-me. Foi um momento em que o orgulho nacional veio ao de cima.
Muito bem recordado.

Sem duvida um grande Presidente...
Reagan será sempre uma referencia na história americana no ambito das politicas externas e da conjuctura internacional da época, a guerra fria.
A nivel interno os seus mandatos não foram nada famosos, sendo inclusive muito criticado pelos media, democratas, pela sociedade e até por alguns republicanos, em relação ás suas politicas internas e nas dificuldades que as suas administrações sempre revelaram que recuperar e fazer crescer a economia americana.
Mas este homem teve um episódio que aos portugueses muito diz respeito e que a todos nós nos deve tocar no coração.
Aquando da terrivel tragédia do vaivem columbia que espalhou uma enorme tristeza pela nação americana e que muitas duvidas surgiram sobre a capacidade humana em partir em conquista do espaço, o Presidente Reagan no discurso dirigido à nação apôs o terrivel acidente, referiu e recordou a história da evolução humana, dos grandes povos que com muito sacrificio, pelo sangue dos seus entre-queridos, com avanços e recuos por vezes bem mais dolorosos, conseguiram vencer em prol da humanidade.
O exemplo que Reagan usou quando se dirigiu à nação foi do nossos antepassados quando se lancaram ao mar, os Descobrimentos Portugueses, naquela hora de tristeza e dor, em que a nação americana ouvia a mensagem de esperança do seu presidente o nome de Portugal fez-se ouvir como um exemplo de coragem e esperança.
Este foi um dos momentos que mais me marcou até porque estava em solo americano naquela altura e ouvir aquelas daquela forma, foi talvez o momento que fez sentir ainda mais português, sentir o pais na alma e perceber que o verdadeiro significado dos nossos antepassados.
Obrigado Presidente Reagan!

Reagan
zé povinho Escreveu:mas do Reagan e da sua politica de afrontamento ao bloco de leste, e ao seu contributo para a queda desse bloco, certamente todos se lembrarão.
Sem querer tirar o mérito a Reagan, há que ter em conta que, do outro lado havia um senhor chamado Gorbachev, que de certa forma tinha alguma vontade de tornar o regime soviético menos "soviético". Não imagino Reagan a conseguir o que conseguiu com um Staline, com um Khrouchtchev, ou até mesmo com um Brezhnev.
De qualquer maneira, foi um bom presidente. Este republicano conseguiu sossegar até hoje, um dos maiores terroristas de sempre: Moammar Gadhafi.
Este homem percebeu que a firmeza é mais forte do que a brutalidade, e ordenou com inteligência um ataque, que também foi condenado, mas que devido à sua eficiência e rapidez (alguns minutos), conseguiu mostrar o seu poderio, causar estragos (o palácio de Gadhafi foi parcialmente destruido e o seu filho morto), e não deu espaço a grandes contestações internacionais, tudo isso com uma grande eficácia: até hoje, Gadhafi nunca mais foi apontado como um grande perigo!
Foi um grande presidente, sem dúvida!

Reagan "Rest In Peace"
O malogrado Ex-Presisente Reagan na minha modesta opinião, conseguiu por a economia dos EUA de pantanas com a sua fórmula do "Reaganomics".
Nem foi tão bom presidente quanto isso.
O Bill Clinton, foi bem melhor que o Reagan , e até conseguiu por o anexo da sala oval nas notícias
Quanto aos dotes de actor, até aqui o clinton bateu reagan aos pontos
de qualquer forma que descanse em Paz e os EUA muito lhe devem...

Essa do mau actor é um chavão muito repetido.
Mas tem filmes (e estou a lembrar-me de um em particular, filmado e passado no início dos anos 60, em que ele tem o papel principal, e faz de gangster, e morre no fim - e note-se que só isso já torna o filme pouco habitual para a hollyhood dos anos 60) em que se revelou um excelente actor...

Aqui fica outro texto, do herald tribune
Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who made an astounding career change by leaping from acting to politics and forging a conservative revolution in the process, died on Saturday after a decade-long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
.
The man credited with winning the Cold War died at 4:09 p.m. EDT at age 93 at his home in the posh Bel Air section of Los Angeles surrounded by his immediate family, including his wife of 52 years, Nancy -- people he was no longer able to recognize because of the crippling disease.
.
The death ended a long, painful last chapter in a close marriage. Just last month, Nancy Reagan made a rare speech in she described his last days suffering from Alzheimer's.
.
``Ronnie's long journey has finally taken him to a distant place where I can no longer reach him,'' she said a dinner in which she urged support for stem cell research to help cure Alzheimer's.
.
The White House said the death of the nation's 40th president was a sad day for the United States.
.
In Paris for a visit, President Bush, whose father was Reagan's vice president and successor, said the former president had united and restored the nation and ``now a shining city awaits him,'' a reference to a favorite speech line of Reagan's about the United States becoming a shining city on the hill.
.
Reagan's body was scheduled to be taken to a local funeral home to be embalmed later on Saturday and then on Monday, according to long set plans, he will lie in state at the Reagan library in California before being flown the next day to Washington to lie in state there.
.
Barring last minute changes, a funeral service will be held at the National Cathedral and his body will be flown back to California where he will be buried on a hillside at the Reagan library on Thursday.
.
It will be the first presidential state funeral in Washington since Lyndon Johnson's in 1973 and poses massive security problems for a city that was one of the targets of the Sept. 11 attacks.
.
Reagan suffered from the brain-wasting Alzheimer's disease since 1994 and his condition worsened in the past week as he entered the last stages of the disease. He was believed to have had pneumonia as a complication of the disease.
.
Ronald Wilson Reagan, the son of an alcoholic shoe salesman in Illinois, began his unique career broadcasting baseball games in the Middle West, games he would make up off a sports ticker.
.
He moved to Hollywood and became a fixture of the B-movie scene. His most famous line came in the football film ``Knute Rockne, All American'' where as dying player George Gipp, Reagan uttered the famous line, ``Just win one for the Gipper.''
.
But as his career faded in the 1950s and 60s, Reagan used his presidency of the Screen Actor's Guild as training for a shift to a career in politics where he starred on the world stage.
.
Inspired by Barry Goldwater's conservatism, he switched parties and became a Republican and running twice successfully as California's governor.
.
As president from 1981 to 1989, he presided over a conservative revival that changed America's political and economic landscape for years.
.
ON THE RIGHT
.
He became the first right-wing president in 50 years; the first in 30 years to serve two terms; and the first to spend a trillion dollars on peacetime defense and witness a doubling of the national debt.
.
He called the Soviet Union an evil empire and helped defeat it in the Cold War by presiding over a massive U.S. defense build-up that the Russians could not afford to keep up with.
.
Reagan was thrust into his gravest crisis with the disclosure in November 1986 that the United States had sold arms to Iran in 1985-86 and diverted proceeds to U.S.-backed Contra guerrillas in Nicaragua.
.
Reagan declared himself guilty of nothing but poor judgment, and Congressional hearings in 1987 backed him on one central point: witnesses said he was never told about the Contra funds.
.
He left office two weeks shy of his 78th birthday, by far the oldest president the United States had ever had and more popular than any predecessor in history.
.
It was typical of the amazing physical resilience he had shown in office, surviving a 1981 assassination attempt that put a bullet near his heart, a 1985 colon cancer operation and 1987 prostate and skin-cancer surgery. He explained his being shot this way to his wife: 'Honey I forgot to duck.''
.
When diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1994, Reagan disclosed it in a ``My fellow Americans'' letter.
.
``When the Lord calls me home ... I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal optimism for its future,'' he wrote on Nov. 5, 1994. ``I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead.''

Faleceu o presidente Ronald Reagan
LOS ANGELES, 5 juin (AFP) - L'ex-président américain Ronald Reagan, atteint de la maladie d'Alzheimer depuis une dizaine d'années, est mort samedi à l'âge de 93 ans à Los Angeles.
Il sera enterré sur le site de sa bibliothèque présidentielle, à Simi Valley, en Californie. Son corps sera exposé dans cette institution puis au Congrès à Washington, où des funérailles nationales seront célébrées à la cathédrale à une date indéterminée.
Tous les drapeaux américains, dont celui de la Maison Blanche, ont été mis en berne en signe de deuil.
Les drapeaux de la Maison Blanche en berne pour saluer la mémoire de Ronald ReaganReagan laisse derrière lui "une Nation qu'il a rétablie et un monde qu'il a aidé à délivrer de la peur", a réagi le président George W. Bush, en France pour le 60e anniversaire dimanche du débarquement allié le 6 juin 1944. Grâce à lui, "le monde a quitté une ère de peur et de tyrannie", a-t-il ajouté.
La mort de Reagan intervient trois jours avant un sommet aux Etats-Unis de chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement du G8.
Le président français Jacques Chirac a salué "la mémoire d'un grand homme d'Etat" qui "laissera une marque profonde dans l'histoire". C'était un "bon ami de la Grande-Bretagne", a dit le Premier ministre britannique Tony Blair.
A Tripoli, le dirigeant libyen Mouammar Kadhafi a regretté que Reagan soit mort avant d'avoir été traduit en justice pour l'attaque aérienne américaine contre la Libye en 1986, dans laquelle sa fille adoptive Haïfa a été tuée.
Lors de sa mort, l'ex-chef d'Etat avait à son chevet Nancy, son épouse depuis 52 ans et leurs deux enfants Patti et Ron Junior.
Bush père a été vice président de Ronald ReaganLa mine sombre, amis, parents ou simples citoyens ont convergé vers leur maison de Bel Air, l'un des quartiers les plus huppés de Los Angeles. "C'est triste, très triste", a déclaré Jacqueline Washington, une noire d'une vingtaine d'années. "Bien sûr, on s'y attendait tous, mais c'est une grosse perte", a-t-elle ajouté près du grand portail protégé par une centaine de policiers et une escouade d'agents du Service Secret.
Selon les médias américains, Ronald Reagan est mort d'une pneumonie.
L'ancien président, qui a occupé la Maison Blanche entre 1981 et 1989, avait annoncé le 5 novembre 1994 qu'il souffrait d'Alzheimer, une maladie irréversible qui détruit peu à peu les neurones. Il s'était ensuite progressivement retiré de la vie publique.
Sa femme Nancy, âgée de 82 ans et son épouse depuis 1952, avait plaidé ces dernières années pour le développement de la recherche médicale à partir des cellules souches - qui pourraient permettre de combattre la maladie d'Alzheimer - et contre les restrictions imposées dans ce domaine par George W. Bush.
Leur fille Patti avait révélé en décembre au magazine People que son père n'était plus en mesure de parler, marcher, se nourrir et reconnaître les siens.
L'ancien président n'était plus capable de reconnaître les siensRonald Reagan, républicain, a été président après avoir été journaliste sportif, vedette de cinéma et gouverneur de Californie. Facilement réélu en 1984 pour un second mandat contre le démocrate Walter Mondale, il avait quitté la Maison Blanche en janvier 1989, peu avant son 80e anniversaire.
Ronald Reagan et ses politiques ultra-libérales ont profondément marqué l'économie et la société américaine dans les années 80, des "golden boys" de Wall Street gagnant des dizaines de millions de dollars par an à l'apparition d'une nouvelle classe de sans-abri victimes des coupes sombres dans les programmes sociaux.
Anticommuniste viscéral, il avait également été à l'origine d'une course aux armements sans précédent en temps de paix, en lançant notamment sa fameuse "guerre des étoiles", qui a épuisé l'Union soviétique et aidé à la chute de ce qu'il appelait "l'empire du mal".
Né le 6 février 1911 à Tampico (Illinois, nord), Ronald Reagan avait été élevé par un père alcoolique vendeur de chaussures, Jack, catholique irlandais et démocrate convaincu, et une mère protestante, Nelle, au puritanisme militant.
