The Reagan quip is true according to the doctors who saw him remove his oxygen mask to say so. Nixon grew up in Whittier, California, and Whittier College was his alma mater.
Reagan
Who can match his quip, in the operating room after almost being assassinated, that he hoped his doctors were Republicans?
Nixon
He grew up in a Whittier environment.
Reagan is known for his sense of humor. His quip in the operating room is true according to the doctors who saw him remove his oxygen mask to say so. He also joked about bombing the Soviet Union during a radio broadcast.
Perhaps his wittiest statement, one that also has a deep meaning, is, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
Nixon grew up in Whittier, California, and Whittier College was his alma mater. However, his connection to wittiness ends there.
