Well, according to family friends, there is a good chance that Pres. Reagan will not survive the weekend. This truly is a sad day as I feel he is one of the truly great Presidents who will never get the full credit he deserves. It's even sadder that he, almost definitely, is unaware of his legacy as Alzheimer's is, quite possibly, the worst disease anybody could hope to have.

Reagan's been gone for a long time, imo.

 

Can't wait for Eric S's column at 411 next week...

Well, I'll give the media credit for this: They left him alone.

 

A great man should not be forced to face public scrutiny when he's going through a hell none of us can fathom.

 

I think Michael Reagan said he didn't recognize anybody but Nancy a few years ago.

The media left the man alone because he's been unable to do anything noteworthy because of his condition. A debilitating disease has never stopped the media from scrutinizing somebody before.

 

That being said there's a woman who lived up the street from me who is now in a home. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last summer and now she can't even remember her husband who goes to visit her out of guilt alone now. He says she's basically already dead but he would feel guilty if he still didn't go up once a week and sit with her. The last thing she remembered was their family dog Bridget...now all she does according to what I've heard is sit in a rocking chair by the window up at the nursing home she's in. I said all of that because I doubt Ronald Reagan even remembers anybody or anything now.

RIP

 

Honestly though, he's been more or less dead for a while now.

I honestly figured he died a long time and ago and that Nancy just forgot to tell people.

 

RIP Mr. President.

How Many living presidents are there now? 5? (Bush, bush 2, Clinton, Ford and Carter)?

Goodbye Mr. President.

 

Thank you for your strength.

 

You helped restore our country's dignity and saved the world from communism.

This pains me as everyone in my family owes Reagan (and Carter for that matter) a great deal of thanks for giving hope and opportunity to the hundreds of thousands of Cubans who came over here looking for a chance to better themselves.

 

I hate to see this man pass away before Castro.

I remember that but I thought he gave some speech or took a photo op some time around then...

I never could get the wankfest for this man. Conservative domestic policy + record-breaking military budgets + ignorance of a rising national debt. However, he was far from the worst in terms of Presidents, and put a halt to Communism, so that was a decent eight years.

 

Nobody should have to watch a family member deteriorate from Alzheimers, though. Happy trails.

I guess I'll post my thoughts here since some are having coniption fits that I created another thread about the situation... christ

 

I predicted Reagans death 5 years ago... and it was getting to the point that if he had lived another five years from now, it wouldn't have been shocking... he seemed almost immortal to me
