Oh and you are 100% correct on this .. they hated President Reagan and everything he stood for
Reminds me of my one brother, he never had a nice thing to say about my mother, never sent her a birthday card or a mothers day card .. and only called when he wanted to brag about himself
On the day of her funeral, he cried like a baby ... took everything in me not to call him a Hypocrite
While I don't like Carter's politics or attitude, I still believe he is a man who believes in God. On the other hand, don't get me started on Clinton...I often imagine what I'd do if ever introduced to him. :)
I think Clinton just wants to feel like he's "part of it" and important enough to be able to speak. This will be a big funeral and MANY will be watching!
He doesn't realize how irrelevant he has become, how many people dislike him and his time is over. He wants to be part of history again, so to speak. He proably thinks if he gives a great eulogy people will forgive and forget. He really does think the world revolves around him, hence his reaction.
I have family members like your brother. I'm sorry that happened.
