Well, I've been watching too. And if you were watching on Monday, you would have clearly seen Michael Reagan with the rest of the family. I think you're looking for opportunities to see things that aren't there.
I am so pissed that I screwed up my back. I may have been able to jump seat it back to DC and been there today or tomorrow. Argggghh
Well it's possible you're wrong. Michael evidently did not get along with the mother who adopted him, Jane Wyman, when younger and went to live with Ronald and Nancy Reagan. And Nancy and Michael did not get along during that time.
Patti was always rebellious and she and Nancy didn't get along either, though they do now. Patti resented the fact that her family was a public one. Michael has always wanted to be more a part of the family with Ronald and Nancy. Heard this on FOX today. Britt Hume asked the same questions people here were asking of a woman who wrote a book about the Reagan's and their marriage. The above is what she said.
