I was a tad concerned - when Ron Reagan made the comments about his father invoking his faith, but not "using it as a mandate," and ended with, "there's a difference," it seemed to be a very politically charged statement. However, I couldn't quite figure out where he was going with it. Was it a protest against the Islamofacists who threaten us? Or was it propaganda against Dubya, who unabashadly makes references to his faith?

I really didn't want to have these thoughts throughout this. Ron Jr.? What's the deal? Can someone please clarify all this for me? Thanks.

I thought that all three of President Reagan's children did wonderfully. They shared a piece of their love of their father.

Everyone has his/her own baggage, but there is no doubt that these children love their father; and he loves them.

Ron Jr.?

Nuts! He was being critical of Dubya but he has said a lot worse. He's a jerk in my book.

I seriously doubt Ron Jr. liked Anita Bryant.

I had the same thought. I was wondering if it was a snide remark at President Bush too. I loved President Reagan, and am not that excited about President Bush, but if Ron Jr. Reagan was making a political statement against President Bush's openess about his faith, I think that was pretty low.

Ron Reagan doesn't like GWB. Hey what can you expect he apparently lives in Seattle now. It certainly was his prerogative to eulogize his father as he wished. And other than those couple of oblique references it was a beautiful remembrance.

I wondered about Ron's speech, too. Otherwise I was sniffling throughout all three cf the children's eulogies. Michael's was all a son's eulogy should be.

There is no doubt about President GWB's strong authentic faith in God.

I believe Ron Jr. took direct aim at Pres. 42, Clintoon, who had to dust off his Bible each Sunday just to pose for the cameras at church.

I was thinking of John Kerry's drive-by photo op at the Library.

Your observations are interesting. They mirror mine. I thought it was a personal slam against GWB.
