January 1989: President Reagan's farewell speech

Friday, January 11, 2019 19:17

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Most of us remember reading about presidential farewell speeches in our US history class.

I remember my high school US history teacher discussing President Washington’s farewell address and the line about staying out of “foreign entanglements“.

The other memorable one is President Eisenhower and the reference to “the military-industrial complex.” By the way, that speech is often misunderstood. President Eisenhower was warning us about corruption not having a strong military.

I do recall watching President Reagan’s speech. It was probably more emotional than political for those of us who got involved in politics because of the Reagan candidacy. (I still have Reagan ’76 bumper stickers!)

He did say something that night that we should think about, like Steven F. Hayward reminded us:

“Reagan bestowed full credit on the American people rather than himself.

Frankly, that’s the lesson that future presidents could learn from President Reagan’s speech. Accept responsibility for your mistakes but give the people all of the credit.
