She wanted this for him. DO NOT take that away from her or him. Respect is deserved here!

Edit - oops that was YankeeGirl, not Bonnie - sorry.

Instead of touching stories, we'll hear snickers. Okay, trying to be nice here. Back to reality. I just think this is the way our media is now. Post 9/11. Everything seems to be way over the top.
I'm not too upset by it. President Reagan was a very well like president. So I can forgive the media.
