If I am correct, Michael and Maureen ( God rest her sweet soul ) were the adopted first children of Ronald Reagan and his first wife? The other two are his biological children with Nancy? It is hard to believe that these four siblings could have been raised by the same man. His biological children have always seemed so vile and hateful IMHO. I have been blessed with six children, all unique and different but all share the same basic sense of decency This does not seem to be the case here.

Actually he had two daughters with Jane and adopted Mike. The one daughter died in a day. Beyond the minutia, Maureen was generally a good person from my recollections of her in the 80’s and 90’s. Never caused any controversies and was very supportive of her father. I always got the same impression of Mike. Whether adopted or not is irrelevant. Apparently Jane raised better kids than Nancy.

Patti was always saying stupid stuff during his presidency and Ron went so far as to act like a moron on SNL at the time. For some reason these two idiots became entrenched in liberal Hollywood, thus becoming the doctrinaire mindless leftists you see today. Ron worked for MSNBC for crying out loud bad mouthing all of the ideals his father had.

Non Reagan should be ashamed! Ronald Reagan could be in the throes of full-on dementia and he’d still “out-president” Little Barry Dunham.

I miss President Reagan.

So basically Ron Reagan is making unsubstantiated, ugly claims about his father to get attention and make some money. In other words, nothing new - neither of Nancy's kids seem to be capable of any accomplishment in life besides trashing their father and his views and principles in public.

True. Can Patty Davis's book be far behind? Surely she wouldn't miss this opportunity for some more face time during her father's 100th birthday commemoratives?

Shameful . . . but typical for a liberal.

Anyone that stands for American values is no doubt suffering from dementia /sarc

I would take Ronald Reagan in his current state as president over anyone holding the office since then.

If he were a democrat he could still vote...

We have had one real president in my adult lifetime and it was this wonderful man: the end of the Cold War, defeat of the Soviet Union, a revitalized economy with low inflation, huge job growth and tremendous power. Speaks for itself whatever some lowlife ingrate writes for money.

he saw hints of confusion and "an out-of-touch president"...... when his father couldn't recall the names of California canyons he was flying over

Boy am I in trouble. You should hear me call my kids by each others names.

But the truth is, he had obviously slipped a fair bit by the time he left office.

Didn't make him incompetent.

I like the part where he is decribing his dad having his skull opened after the horseback fall and doctors finding evidence of alzheimers.

While a full autopsy can find the indications in the full brain, there is not test that I am aware of to examine brain lining when skull pressure is relieved or other similar test site and make a clinical pathological diagnosis.

Long term neurological evaluation can lead to such a diagnosis on a conditional basis, but such would not be done or relied upon at the time of head truama.

And how much worse when one considers that this is his own father that he is speaking of. Liberal hatred knows no bounds, not even familial ties. Purely sickening.

What an ungrateful bastard.

Agreed. He broke his dad's heart when he was still alive, and now junior is trying to cash in on his father. And saying that he "made his father feel stupid"? Such arrogance! I hope nobody buys this twinkletoe's book.

You know, as one grows older, you look back over your life and there a things you would like to have done differently. One of my biggest regrets is not taking my grandson to DC and to pay our respects to President Reagan when he died. Even better still would have been to line the highway with all the thousands when his hearse was taking him to his funeral. The liberal media played the whole thing down to the point that it was both shameful and comical at the same time.

There is a funny thing a truth; it is what it is. And it makes no difference what people do to change it. The Truth is The truth! And the TRUTH will never change. Ronald Wilson Reagan was the 2nd best President this country ever had. Only George Washington was better. Both were sent from God when we needed them the most.

Bend over boy is redefining history?

Nah, he is selling out. Too bad, now he is on the WRONG side of history.

Sure , the man who brought down the Berlin wall had a diseased mind. I hope its contagious.
