This is what a President and Commander-In-Chief sounds like.

[@mikeevans5810]

that's what a real president looks like, and acts like, miss this guy

[@michaelluccketta2]

Amen to that Mr Evans

[@mikeevans5810]

thanks

[@MondoBeno]

Reagan was smart enough to keep the attacks brief.

[@djwolf12]

Hands down, Ronald Reagan is and will always be the greatest President during my lifetime.

[@ElliottAS]

"He counted on america to be passive.....he counted wrong!" I absolutely love president Reagan. The world would be a different place today if Reagan was our president. Our current leader is a goofball.

[@jpizzle990]

I agree 100%. We need another Reagan!!!

[@ElliottAS]

Right on jon

[@babykevinxoxo]

all Presidents after Reagan are idiots.

[@ElliottAS]

I understand and agree with your point of view. No room in this world did a nazi.

[@RawUndergroundMusic]

This Regan quote was sampled in "Def Leppard - God of War"

[@ebsnodgrass]

Why can't today's leaders be more honest and direct like Reagan?

[@Science_afterhours]

Finally found the whole speech that is used in Gods of War by Def Leppard.

[@JohnnyUtah15]

Yes, I too remember this and some of his other speeches. I was 18 and was enlisting into the Air Force. I miss his leadership qualities and was damn proud to have him as Commander in Chief. RIP Mr. President. I tip my wing to you, sir.

[@j2times2006]

"We're fighting for the gods of war..."

[@larrymcallister1578]

i was a kid eating dinner with my family when reagan made his broadcast. best dam president we ever had.

[@stevenpye7765]

I miss Ronald----- he was a true leader

[@jonmichaelhalsey6471]

+Steven Pye We all do, especially now.

[@steviegr36]

Mr. President we could sure use you now.. What great Man and a great President you were...

[@sakusia]

" When our citizens are attacked..." .You know Reagan wasn't bullshiting. I've heard this from an American military person that no country takes care of its citizens better than the USA when confronted with hostile situations.

[@jdhaynes9887]

I wish we had him now

[@M1IRONMIKE]

The last great american president......God Bless Ronald Reagan!

[@mikemoseley4856]

Yes he is

[@davidtipton5610]

I love that line. He delivered it perfectly

[@nickd9356]

This is the best speech i ever heard in my entire life.

[@sevenzdown]

So that's what a leader sounds like. Pretty cool.

[@Cholmeleian]

Reagan and Thatcher - the dream team!

[@lioncub6969]

Regan is amazing, he even knows exactly how Libyan people feel toward Qaddafi, I am Libyan and I feel it when he said ( before Qaddafi seized power in 1969 the people of Libya had been friends of the united states, and I am sure that today most Libyans are ashamed and disgusted that this man has made their country a synonym for barbarism, )

[@TotalLifeVictoryTV]

This is leadership! God, please have mercy on our nation. We need you! Thank you Reagan Foundation. ~Shalom to America

[@playerzgb]

REAGAN - THE BEST PRESIDENT AMERICA EVER HAD

[@bigfactsbroski]

I was born during Reagan's presidency and I have only seen things go downhill from then. What it must have been like to live under a real American president and not some demagoguing sideshow clown like we have today.

[@drb1979]

shame we dont have anybody like Reagan around anymore.

[@SN2903]

A Great man. RIP

[@rob25910]

We love you & miss you Ronnie....

[@GJones462-2W1]

My F-111F's from RAF Lakenheath, UK flew the strike mission that night on mutiple targets in Tripoli. After that, we said that Libya stood for, Lakenheath Is Bombing Your Ass!!!! He was one tough President. Good times!

[@brawy1]

President Reagan, you are truly missed. We so need another leader like you now.

[@user-or6jc1vm2w]

Homeland!

[@vvetere86]

I'm canadian but Reagan was a great President if I could vote in your country he would have mine both times Obama is a disaster.

[@987steel]

Well said...I couldn't agree more

[@jaddaway]

GOD BLESS YOU MISTER PRESIDENT

[@tabfiend]

I remember listening to this live here in Melbourne, Australia at the time and being in awe of an American President who had the guts to respond decisively to acts of terrorism. Gaddafi, amazingly, is still "peddling his wares" in Libya and must have more lives than a cat. But his day is almost over. As Ghandi said, "In the end they (dictators) always fall. Think of that. Always".

[@MrAccessmilton]

This is what being a true Commander In Cheif is all about. What has happened to this kind of leadership?

[@Jok3r2205]

Great man, great President. We need him now more than ever...

[@dwayne68d]

Like a BOSS!!!!!!!! The IDIOTS currently in charge should be made to take a few pages out of this great American president's playbook .You were an AMAZING president and real COMMANDER IN CHIEF!!!!!! GOD rest your soul,you are certainly,after all these years missed because of your honest patriotism and TRUE COMMITMENT to OUR way of life!!!!!

[@rstryker27]

I really miss this guy. A real leader.

[@littlelouie11]

Can you image if Reagan was president today? I can't imagine the Iraq war would still be going on. Reagan was a very decisive leader.

[@bigwillietheb]

we need another Ronald Reagan

[@MsBeccaLeigh]

My dad was on the carrier that fired the missles....I just was told last weekend. I was only 3 yrs old at the time

[@ERam0912]

Men like Reagan we need now.

[@obiforcemaster]

God, please bring us another Ronald Reagan!

[@Sredderdude01]

God Bless Ronald Reagan

[@haroldjameson7348]

Operation El Dorado Canyon was the greatest military operation in history.

[@TheMedici23]

Boy we miss you Mr. President!

[@bobgunderson3960]

the last real america president, RONALD REAGAN

[@paidmeat]

This is what a President looks like

[@Labaron26]

This is Leadership......Unlike what we have today in Obama, a gutless wonder.

[@bjr43]

Great speech.

[@caribbeansun]

This was a truely great and principled man. I wish we had someone like that in the whitehouse today. Instead we have an individual that provides bailouts for buying too much house, is trying to destroy our healthcare system by spreading mediocrity and penalizes success thru increased taxation.

[@stevepaul6955]

Mr Obama, take good look at a REAL president in action.

[@onomatopoeia162003]

+Steve Paul lol. look what they did about the AID's epidemic

[@StraightFashionMan]

+Steve Paul Mr Obama did, because he is a REAL president who defends our country.

[@juandegollado8245]

the best president ever

[@ctcole77]

Get him Ronnie!

[@tracdazell22]

Ronald Reagan was a great American leader. Too bad no one has replaced him. Gaddafi would probably go the way of Noriega if the Gipper was still around.

[@XLENDIBAY1]

I was there !

[@KellyLyndon]

Reagen was a wonderful man

[@fkreller1]

Ronnie Raygun don't mess around.

[@timmynguyen3810]

when will we have another Reagan lead this country again?

[@steveeisenhowereisenhower7130]

Wow a super president unlike the stupper president we have now

[@DGolfer60]

What a President we had in Ronald Reagan and what a piece of crap we have now!

[@MarkPerrotte]

290 thumbs up and 13 down. For a politician, that speaks for itself. I was 14 yrs old when this happened, and prouder than I am at 41. I used to watch him land in Palm Springs on my bicycle. Love this man and all he did for this nation. It has been all downhill since and will continue. Obama...your such a failure.

[@8idmech]

All of them.

[@davidlaplante6315]

this is what a real amercain is about

[@davidlaplante6315]

the greatest ever

[@robertcraddock4722]

RIP RR!! Wish you were here!!! You wouldn't out up with this shit!!

[@SuperThunderlips]

Obama should listen to 3:40 mark.....but we all know he doesn't care.

[@Mark.Watson]

Thanks for posting. Please clean up the audio on these videos.

[@IshadaKatzteilov]

What little we all know.

[@rob25910]

@fredricks74 My thoughts exactly...

[@3dofanatic]

@MsBeccaLeigh which carrier my father was on the coral sea when we fired on libya

[@hurpdurpdurpity]

Holding people responsible, and actually following through with things obama take note

[@johnanthonyp]

Lets talk ten terms.

[@GraydenProductions]

@Cbarrett94 Not anymore! :)

[@TheHitch6287]

In my opinion President Clinton took too long in quelling Milosevic, and should have acted in Rwanda (which he publicly regretted not doing). In a largely domestically involved decade he did a great job, but his foreign policy and lack of combating terrorism led to some of the international crises that went on and are still going on today

[@Th3ba1r0n]

I smell history repeating.

[@JoeCnNd]

Stranger things brought me here.... But that was 1983.

[@NeuroDeviant421]

how many are there?

[@loikmg]

hi

[@BruiserKC]

@littlelouie11 Reagan actually used a lot of common sense and compromise, he wouldn't be president today. He was known on Fridays to have a drink and a laugh with Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill (heaven forbid a Dem and a Rep have a moment to chill). He'd be impeached for that now.

[@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

"Tonight...we have." ...and Gadaffi crawled into a hole after this, and cried like a baby.

[@ed20if]

Obama should be watching this mans tapes so he can learn how to lead

[@t762]

Well you're pretty good old son, but sit down in that chair right there, lemme show you how it's done. I hate war, but if you're gonna do something, do it.

[@LynetteTheMadScientist]

UndeadReagan2016

[@Nonna518]

What an amazing speech. Obama needs to read this and crooked Hillary. Last two minutes so poignant and powerful.

[@mjakes20]

@3dofanatic Agreed, and Hillary Clinton and the U.N better just deal with Gadaffi, and stop whining and moaning about a no fly zone and what not.

[@martinkeene9413]

Horse feathers!

[@TheMattd546]

yup very true. even President bush didn't use a teleprompter for some speeches. just a few. but Obama was lost at a speech when the teleprompter broke.

[@matthewgalati3429]

IYAOYAS!!!!!!

[@rms5324]

Obama - Listen to 2:59 and 6:30, end of issue and $4+ gas.

[@BelAir1968]

He could try.....spend two trillion dollars, and then blame George Bush for the bad job....

[@save16thave]

I wish Obama would take care of the Somalian pirates like Reagan took care of those Libyan terrorists. 86 seems like such a long time ago.

[@AntiNeocons]

Reagan endorsed Ron Paul.

[@cmg91101]

gotta be fair. I am against Obama on many fronts, But as far as the war on terrorism goes he has been pretty tight, Reagan was great, but its not fair to call the current president a "piece of crap" on this issue. He makes Reagan look like Carter. Put simply even if u disagree on many issues don't merge that with terrorism response. IMO he has been a bit too aggressive. - Signed- card carrying Republican who smartened up and turned libertarian
