My fellow Minnesotans join me in mourning the loss of America's 40th President and celebrating the life of a man who personified both the greatness and goodness of America.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We just sent our condolences to the President of the United States and the American people on what is a terrible, terrible tragedy.
President Reagan is now at rest. We mourn his passing, but we are grateful for the gifts he gave us: a safer world, strong economic base, and a renewed belief in America's greatness.
As America celebrates Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation's wars.
We're sad about some of the losses of members of great seniority and distinction in the Congress, and some very new members, who will no longer be serving with us.
The assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. made me very, very sad, and I mourned and I cried like many of our citizens did.
I'm the only American alive or dead who presided unhappily over the removal of a vice president and a president.
I grew up in Minnesota. Four generations of my father's people are buried there.
As we celebrate President Reagan's remarkable career and historic legacy, we also celebrate a man of strong character, deep conviction, unforgettable charm, and wonderful wit.
I am a Minnesotan, and not just because I root for the Vikings and the Twins. I like the Minnesota-nice sensibility. I like the liberal tradition; I like the Hubert Humphrey tradition fighting for civil rights.
As a citizen of the post-historical variety, I am in continual mourning and prepared for worse.
