Reagan & Bush each address the nation after space shuttle disasters. The Bush speech writers took a few cues from the Reagan address. Unfortunately for Bush, Reagan's time as an actor made him much better at reading lines on the teevee.
Reagan had more of a natural gift for speaking obviously but President Bush had a way of speaking that was emotional and heartfelt making you feel like he was down in the emotion of the moment with you.
I was 16 when Challenger crashed and Reagan made me feel safe. I wonder if Reagan was in office on 9/11/01 would it of happend. Reagan is with out question the greatest president of my life time

Reagan could give a speech that could move a mountain. He was so eloquent.

Nobody could do it better than Reagan. Truly the great communicator. Can you imagine Obama trying to give this speech?
