Reagan Son Claims Dad Had Alzheimer's as President

Absolutely - Nancy's two are WAY off, and neither one has ever had both oars in the water. Jane Wyman’s children were raised differently. Maureen adored her father, and understood him. She strongly agreed with his philosophy and his view of the world. She was a wonderful daughter to him. May she rest in peace.

Michael has been the most wonderful and most loving son. He truly is the son that Reagan deserved. Michael went through some rough times with dealing with the fact that he was adopted; almost all adoptees do. He has matured, and is truly the voice of his father. In my estimation, he is Reagan's ONLY real son.

Ron Reagan had to be a disappointment to his dad, who was so strong,virile, and had such a tremendous work ethic. Little Ron is the opposite. His only claim to fame is being his dad's son. Other than that, he is a failure.

Patti is certifiable. Never normal. Pretty, but not normal in her behavior. She was never the wonderful daughter that Maureen was.

I have always thought the the differences in the two sets of children were so stark that the reasons were in the mothering. Perhaps Jane Wyman did a superior job as a mother. Perhaps Nancy directed most of all of her attention to her husband. Perhaps Nancy was aloof to her children. Perhaps she didn't monitor their activities. There is a possibility that Ron and Patty are just bad seeds, but I still think the problem was the way they were raised. In both cases, the dad was a busy man and not always home, so the mother was the primary caretaker.

Nancy is a wonderful woman, and was a wonderful First Lady. She was certainly a loving and supportive wife to her husband. But, I believe that the there were problems in the home when the children were being raised. Just my opinion.

What a waste of a son!
If Ronaldus Maximus DID have the first stages of Alzheimers while President, WHY would a son want to tell the world what it doesn’t know? He knows it will tarnish his father’s image-that can be the only reason. To hurt him- even after death. Sick, ugly, excuse for progeny!
I don’t believe any of it. My father died with Alzheimers-I know the symptoms. And even if the greatest President I will ever know was less than 100% he was STILL a great statesman and world leader WITH impairment!
Don’t trash a great, dead, President when we have a live,
reprehensible one who deserves it.

They can say whatever they want but I remember the Carter days and the deep depression of spirit this country was it

National malaise, ennui and foreboding. I suffered through Mr. Carter's USAF and the lift when President Reagan took command was elevating.

Clinton said, "you better put some ice on that."

Carter said, "you better put on a sweater." (He only lusted in his heart)
