Reagan's Birthday! 7 Things You Didn't Know About the Gipper
Today Ronald Reagan would have turned 98-years-old! The 40th President of the United States lived a full life, and he played many roles — on-screen as an actor, and in public life as CA's governor and a two-term US president.

Just Like Reagan's Kids! Obama's Girls Are Featured in People
The more things change, the more they stay the same, huh? This week in history, waaaayyy back in 1980, then-presidential candidate Ronald Reagan's children were featured in People magazine — fast-forward to 2008, and while Obama is in Israel meeting with top Israeli and Palestinian leaders on his plans for containing the nuclear threat from Iran and building peace in the Middle East, his daughters are getting their time in the mag.
