I have been extremely bothered by the apparent discourteous, and certainly ill advised, treatment of Michael Reagan by Nancy Reagan, Ron Reagan, and Patti Reagan. I noticed at the beginning of the public mourning in Calif, that Michael was not standing with Patti and Ron and altho Michael and his family boarded the plane to DC with the other Reagans, he was not seated with them in the capitol. I have absolutely no use for Ron jr. IMO, Patti came very late to the realization that her parents deserved her respect if not her gratitude. Considering just how messed up her life was when Patti returned to the fold, there is the suspicion that her new found fealty was mercenary. I know too many adoptees not to be greatly offended at the shunting aside of an adopted child. Especially when Michael was the only one of President Reagan's children to support his views and love him in a public manner.This situation needs to be explained. It will be remarked on soon enough in the unfriendly anti-Reagan media. Brit Hume and guest touched on it tonite and neither had an explanation. Perhaps this was Michael's choice but from the look on his face during the ceremony, I think not.
