A Truly Serendipitous Twofer

That the Superbowl and Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday celebration should come on the same day in this so pivotal and anxious year, exceeds the full range of imagination.

Two faces of the the same coin, two faces of the real America: its values and dreams. Two faces of ordinary people. Ordinary people who in the past have risen to every challenge, and, I say with unabashed pride, done more good than harm in the world.

Ronald Reagan, the superpower hero, a rational force for progress in the world, and the Superbowl; an honest fight for glory, within the rules of the game.

Both speak to the best in America.
