Today marks the 30th anniversary of John Hinckley's assassination attempt on former President Ronald Reagan. Hinckley shot and wounded Reagan outside the Washington Hilton Hotel on March 30th, 1981. Former White House Press Secretary Jim Brady will hold a news conference on Capitol Hill today. Brady was among those wounded during the attack.
Who is your favorite president? It seems that over time, long deceased presidents gain more popularity with Americans. My favorite of all time was Ronald Reagan, but he only came in number two in a new poll just released. Top honors went to John F. Kennedy.
