Ronald Reagan

[Otter]

Just reported on Today Show or some morning program, Ronald Reagans death is imminent.

Sad thing. I wonder how things would be different had he not gotten alzhiemers and remained public and not in seclusion. He had so much charisma, and was liked by so many he would have made a great elder statesman in retirement.

Campbell Brown and Lester Holt reported it on the Today Show. Said within the month or earlier, but he's deteriorating rapidly. Very sad....

Somebody better break it to Christy gently. Very sad news but I'm surprised he's hung on this long.

Prepare yourself for some kind of twist the Libs will put on his death.

I don't think so. They were pretty tigh lipped and behaved when Nixon died. Regan was much more liked than Nixon.

He has been in bad shape for an awful long time. They have been saying his death is imminent for awhile now. What has changed?

Of course he is very old and he has lived a life that many people only dream of so his death may come as a relief for those who have cared for him all this time. I'm sure it has been very demanding.

You know they always say, behind every great man is an even greater women. I think Nancy is one of the best 1st ladies in history.

You know , when she was actually First Lady, I wasn't all that big on her. I thought she was a social climbing snob - patronizing, queenly, Hollywood-ized.

But since Ronnie got sick, I've seen a different side to her. She's really stuck by him and kept low-key. I was pleasantly surprised.

I look back on it, and I really think the media did all it could to make her out to be a b!tchy nutjob.

Those two really love each other, I've read some of his letters to her that have been published.

I actually really wish more people would read what he's put in writing, it dispells the myth that he was a bumbling idiot who was fed policy guidance through advisors.

Yea, they'll twist it to make it sound like he is old and has been out of it for awhile now

He's had Alzheimers for years but was still able to function. End stage Alzheimers is something you won't wish on your worst enemy. That's probably where he is now. You lose the ability to swallow. Your brain simply forgets to run the body. It's a horrible thing to witness with a loved one.

The news just said he died.

He's dearly missed.

The Nation won't likely get another like him for many decades.

I doubt we will see it in our lifetime for sure...

Kinda goes along with our usual blatant disregard for the sanctity of human life.

Let me be the first to call a dance party on his grave. I'm bringing the disco ball!

Seriously, tho. Reagan was the ultimate TV president.
