Reagan Airport, District of Reagan, Reagan States of Reagan: The fourth (and final) privately-funded Ronald Reagan statue to mark the 100th anniversary of the president’s birth has been placed—-this one at Reagan National Airport, where, at nine feet tall, it towers menacingly over passers-by. To commemorate the commemoration, WTOP checked in with travelers at the airport, many of whom just call it “National.” Said Wisconsin’s Kathleen Meehan: “I’ve never understood the people who feel he’s such a beloved figure. My daughter refuses to call it ‘Reagan.'” According to WTOP, “The only thing Meehan gave Reagan credit for was ‘the destruction of the middle class.'” -2
