Am I the only one to perceive Ron slamming GWB by his making a distinction between his father "not wearing his faith on his sleeve" and saying his dad did not "mistake" his survival of the assassination attempt as a "mandate" from God? I am positive that is what he was getting at.

It was exactly that, and he said it pointedly.

I'll bet Ronald Reagan loved his son Ron despite his leftist leanings. My father loved my brother, his eldest son, even though they were at total odds politically.

I thought Ron was slamming GWB too.

I also thought Michael was making a huge effort to get Patti and Ron to accept Jesus truly so they could all be in heaven together.

let it pass til tommorrow for another thread. not here not today. what is done is done.

It was exactly that, and he said it pointedly.

Why do people insist on ruining a great threat by dwelling on what was done or not done? Get over it and get back to the tribute of a great man.

Here is another way to look at it. Praising Reagan led to some tough jabs at Carter and that couldn't have been easy for him.

But there is something so tacky to me to jab a President as Ron Jr did when the President just gave your father a wonderful commentary on the world stage.
