FoxNation.com ^ | Jan 14

Posted on 01/14/2011 3:03:52 PM PST by JesseWatters

USA Today reports...In a new book -- and an interview on ABC's 20/20 -- President Ronald Reagan's son says he saw evidence of his father's Alzheimer's disease back during his years in the White House. "There was just something that was off, I couldn't quite put my finger on it," Ron Reagan said in 20/20 interview airing Friday night. The younger Reagan said his father often didn't seem sharp during their political debates.

Ron Reagan is a liberal which means he has a mental disorder, so it is understandable that he would lie to benefit.

Michael Reagan released the following statement to FoxNation.com: "Ron was an embarrassment to his father when he was alive and today he became an embarrassment to his mother."

That says it all.

Ditto!

Oh, so THAT was John McCain's problem during the obama debates! Alzheimer's!

I would suggest it was their mothers. Maureen and Michael’s mother was Jane Wyman. Nancy was Patty and Ron’s.

Bears to mind the cowardly soldier that bore Napoleon’s name. When face to face with the man, the conqueror told him, “either change your ways or change your name.”

It’s due time for Ron to change his name, for he is none of the Great Ronald Reagan.

I suggest perhaps Mary.

It is an impossibility for little Ronnie Prescott to ever be Ronald Reagon Jr. The whiny little twerp bares no resemblance to his father, Ronald Reagon. Ronnie Prescott is not a chip off the proverbial block, but rather a fleck of lint.

Isn’t it amazing that the two of RR’s children who turned out to be great were both adopted!!!

Maureen was not adopted. She and Christine, who lived only one day, were natural born to Ronald & Jane.

True, excuse my dad watching two year old boy typing.

I like Michael, I meant Ron.

"I couldn't quite put my finger on it."

That's a cunning slander. /sarcasm>

Ron and Patty are both hopeless. Those two will never be happy until they get over their liberal guilt trips.

Nancy Regan said it was a fall from his horse after he left office that they believed sped up the spread of the sickness.

Late Onset Alzheimer’s (Oldtimer’s) is not hereditary. Early onset is. Reagan has late onset.

He was a disgrace to his father when Reagan was alive and he’s a disgrace to him now. Zip it Junior.

Ronny Reagan feels he hasn’t been getting enough attention lately.

I’d agree. I don’t think it was a coincidence Reagan had four children and the two raised by Jane turned out well while the other two raised by a different mother are headcases. Reagan has to take some blame here too as the father, but I do think clearly the two women took a decidedly different approach to parenting.

If Reagan had Alzheimers while President, I want it. What he had was a GIFT. He had an ability to communicate, unlike the braggart currently occupying the White House. If that’s how Alzheimers affects someone, I want it.
