Ronald Reagan - Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts - 1977 (see info for HQ Stereo)

[SigDrums]

The guy has got style, but ultimately he's an asshole.

[jackpark7927]

We'll never see his like again...for the simple fact that we'll never see his generation again. Civility. Grace. Will we ever see it again in our lifetimes?

[BooBop1987]

Ronald Reagan is the man!

[lv2surf]

Best President in my lifetime, sure could use him in 2012!

[WingsOfASnowhiteDove]

Ronnie could kick Obamas butt!

[jb4700]

Just compare this president with what you have now.

[mercuryrulz]

Greatest conservative to ever hold office

[sondano]

@mercuryrulz conservatives cannot be great. They are always too outdated to be great.

[michaeldublg]

RONALD !!! THIS COUNTRY COULD SURE USE YOU RIGHT NOW !!! 

[humbleradio]

Not surprisingly, all the hate-filled comments are made by people who upon viewing their own channels one finds more hate and anger. Pathetic. Keep being negative, gents, and I say that facetiously, because with such an attitude of hate you'll not sway a soul or affect one single thing in this world. And that's a good thing.

[humbleradio]

Fantastic. Great closer, too.

[AxelQC]

It's too bad Reagan didn't stick to entertainment. Then again, maybe that's what he thought the White House was.

[humbleradio]

@AxelQC Thanks for coming by to spread your hate, dude. May Karma grant you many happy returns.

[Dogheadj]

I love and respect President Reagan, but I regret that he overlooked Sinatra's ties to organized crime, and awarded him the Presidential Award of Freedom. Remember, Sinatra was a Democrat, completely behind JFK, and got crony's such as Sam Giancana and other Mob figures to support him. It was only after JFK declined to stay at Sinatra's house during a trip to Palm Springs (because of his Mob connections), that Sinatra turned into a Republican.

[humbleradio]

@Dogheadj That wasn't the only reason. Don't forget brother Bobby. You don't use the mob to get elected than start putting them in jail. There are many crimes the mob commits, but one they don't tolerate is betrayal.

[Dogheadj]

@humbleradio Indeed.

[onebaud]

I like Ronald Reagan but then, I like all vegetables.

[humbleradio]

@onebaud Spread that hate, brother. Spread that hate!

[Jerseybytes2]

Best damn president this country ever had. God Bless you President Reagan

[PaleHearse]

A wit's wit and a great gentleman .. it seems honesty like that and the dignity that goes along with it are scares qualities these days.. scarcer still in politics.

We all Miss you Mr. President. Long will your name be remembered.. fondly.

Thank you for your service and gentle nature.

[mercuryrulz]

Reagan was one of the greatest presidents this country has ever had

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Ronald Reagan was all class.

He brought respect to the White House.

He was also the last great president.

The ones after him were all clowns.

We need a Reagan today.

George Vreeland Hill

[YOU2UUB]

Ronald Reagan a man with class and my favorite all time president of the usa

[machadoneto41]

"Great VD", Thanks a lots!!!

[Tzatikipants]

we need great people to stand up and the others to get out of the way. that being said big goverment is about buddys not great leaders!

[bobszvetics1]

REAGAN WASNT EVEN THERE IT WAS EDITED AGAIN LIKE ON MANY OF THE MARTIN ROASTS

[MacBloscaidh]

Jeez, Ronald Reagan should've been an actor.

Oh wait a minute ....

[Sonofliberty1000]

reagan was a bad ass...john wayne shoulda been his running mate...

[JoeyMars1]

This is more than I can handle! I never laughed so much at these Celeb roast videos !

[kasuni2009]

"is it worth it when you have to give up being a king?" beautiful closing line.

[blessedbeJesus]

Prophetic.

[TheAmericanRifleman]

What a classic. It's a somber reminder that every one of these people we see here are passed on now.

[IsntLifeJuicy89]

The irony of years to come: "Without his help who knows I might have been President". Love Ronald Reagan & classic Hollywood.

[captainmidnight1967]

Anyone alive today was a lot 'sharper' then than now, if they were adults then.

I was 13 when he became president and 21 when he left office. He is my favorite president.

[415Riggs]

my hero of all time

[MisterEvasion]

Great video. You can tell how sharp Ronald Reagan was before the John Hinckley shooting. To me, that was the watershed to where his health declined to the point where it became very noticeable by late in his second term. I miss him very much. Just his smile has more friendly assuring charisma than the bla bla bla Obambla.

[vxf2007]

Mr. Reagan was a such a gentleman!!!!

[mercuryrulz]

im a raging liberal and i love this guy!!!!!!!!!!

[Yellyist]

@mercuryrulz If you as a liberal love a man who stands for the opposite of every liberal value you`re a dumb liberal.

[joliecide]

undoubtedly the most effective speaker and most good-looking of the presidents

[vccstudents]

@vxf2007 And we could use him now versus this buffoon in there now, a man who has 950 DAYS TO GO!

[RushLimborg]

I LOVE THIS VID!

Especially this li'l bit o' forshadowing:

"Who knows? I MIGHT'VE BEEN PRESIDENT!"

[CommanderUTube]

Frank Sinatra was a powerful influence such that any politician who aspired to be President must make friends with. Reagan's speech was witty and politically astute.
