Markets closing on Friday for Reagan
 

Stock markets are closing on Friday for dead Reagans funeral.

Has this every happened before? It seems pretty stupid to me. I thought this is what Presidents day is for

I think its happend before...

Presidents Day is for the presidents from the past.

fucking stupid, probably Bush's idea

Why is it so stupid?

That is what I was thinking. He was republican after all. Bush looked up to Reagan. The cut taxes and spend like crazy thing really appeals to Bush. After all, he is known for bankrupting companies.

In 300 years everything will be closed because someone died or for some stupid holiday.

um, he is a president of the past on two counts

I think it is great!!!

But then again I understand what Reagan did for this country and I respect it!!! :)

He was a great man!!! :thumbsup

:thumbsup

countries like China and the Soviest Union have lots of holidays to honor their leaders. Sure Reagan was a good president, but all of this "politician worship" is set up to make presidents like Bush look better.

Bush is just trying to ride the wave of good feelings people had for Reagan and the republicans in the 80's, and nobody can say shit about him making a national holiday because he will just say he is honoring Reagan's legacy.

It's the same idea with Bush comparing the current Iraq war with World War II. It is not a good analogy at all, but since everybody thinks what we did in World War II was right, he is trying to steal those same feelings and get the sheeple to back him in Iraq.
