HI, Sweet..I loved Cheney's speech too. It was just wonderful and hit all the points..didn't miss a one.
There was only one thing that really bothers me about the state funeral seating..did anyone notice that Michael Reagan was seated in the back row behind other dignitaries? I thought it odd that he was not seated near or in the same row as President Reagan's other children. That really bothered me...what was the message here..as an adopted son you aren't a real Reagan? HE loved his dad and as far as I know never gave him the headaches Patty did or even Ron for that matter.
Yes; that bothered me too. Whatever differences the family might have, they should have put aside for the funeral.
Another thing that really bothers me is that I won't get to watch the services. I hope CSPAN will replay it. I am really bummed out about that. You would think that state offices would close for the occasion.
