Republicans try to shoehorn Reagan in with fellow February Birthday Boys Washington and Lincoln, while complaining that one day really doesn’t do the lads justice. And lament the passing of glorious days of old when we heard of Lincoln learning to read by the light of a single lump of coal.
Meanwhile at the Carter Library they’ve gone beyond mere days to celebrate “President’s Month“!
