Former First Lady Nancy Reagan is not attending this week’s Republican convention but her son, Ron, is. Newsweek.com’s Tammy Haddad and her TamCam caught up with the son of the Republican icon. You can watch it HERE and hear Reagan describe his mother’s fondness for the current Democratic nominee.
“John McCain and my mother have known each for years and years. Her parents, and Cindy McCain’s parents go way back in Phoenix, Arizona. She’s grateful to John McCain for standing with her on the issue of stem cells and, of course, has officially endorsed him. She’s fine with John McCain, as I said, they’ve been friends for a long time."
“I can tell you though that she’s also very impressed with Barack Obama...she’s just impressed by his demeanor, is not just that he’s an eloquent guy and a guy who gives a good speech, a lot of people said that about my father too. But she sees through that. She’s been around a long time and she looks at Barack Obama and she sees the words, hears the words and she perceives character there. She thinks this is a good guy, a guy who means well and is a strong character,” Reagan said.
And Ron, who has rarely shared the political perspective of his parents, had this to say about Sarah Palin, “Sarah Palin is in no way qualified to be vice president or certainly president. John McCain is a 72 year old cancer survivor, not just any cancer, melanoma. Not just any melanoma, melanoma above the neck. It was his obligation to choose somebody who could realistically step into the big chair and Sarah Palin is not that person.”

Throw his sister into the mix and I’d have to say that the offspring of Ron and Nancy Reagan have nothing in common with their parents. Nature VS. Nurture is always a spirited debate. Michael Reagan is more like his father than both of Nancy’s kids combined. Ron would be proud of Michael. Not so much Ron, Jr., and Patti.
Yeah, like I’d ever believe anything that guy says.
Jr. traded in his tutu for a microphone when the media offered him some money if he were willing to trash his dad’s legacy. Apparently, the he inherited neither the brains or the tongue of The Gipper. Michael, who has no genetic connection, is more like the great president than Jr. could ever hope to be.
Taking drugs in one’s youth does terrible things to the brain.
And the knowledge that you can never live up to your father’s character makes you bitter.
Weel, he was never his father’s son, anyway, so his opinion just doesn’t matter!
Great men should not have sons
Little Ronnie Tutu strikes again. One, two, three strikes, he’s out.
Ron Junior. Huh.... I had forgotten all about him.
I wonder if he and Obama have ever been... you know.... friendly?
The late great George Washington set the example in more ways than one.
Ron Jr. was never a conservative.
Ronald Prescott Reagan is no Ronald Wilson Reagan, Jr.
Secretariat had some sons who were slow. Looks like poor Reagan did, too.
Yes, I've heard that rumor. I also heard that that little girl was placed with an ordinary family in the heart of distant Alaska, in a little town called Wasilla, only to emerge when her country needed her to pull a sword from a stone and lead them . . .
Delusional ravings of a failed ballerina.
