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.”

Ron P. Reagan is an ass, and is hardly worthy of the name and legacy he was given as a birthright.
Maybe we should call elderly abuse out there in CA.
Ronnie would not be proud of either one of them with this story.
Ron Jr continues to crap on his father’s legacy.
Michael is the real heir to President Reagan, not this metrosexual goofball.
Certainly not an endorsement of his politics.
Ronald Reagan would endorse Obama
So would Barry Goldwater.. Heck I hear Bush Sr wants his son impeached and Obama elected
I think this person is nuts.
So what do you think Pinkbell?
BOO-HOO.
All we have is the son’s version not what Nancy actually said. His son is a disgrace to Pres Reagan but he has been for a long time.
I question the timing of this
We definitely know who his father would be supporting.
WOW! What an obvious lie! I’ll bet dollars to donuts that nancy reagan said no such thing!
Your right about Ron being an ass, and he’s right about the seriousness of malignant melanoma above the neck.
McCain will be a one term president.
Here, fixed it for you:
Michael is the real heir to President Reagan, not this homosexual goofball.
I disagree with her opinion on Obama and stem cells and his opinion on Palin.
Is FR real slow to load again, or is it just me?
Uh, Skipper...most of us weren’t exactly seeking your opinion on Sarah Palin’s qualifications, okay?
