Reagans own son has now said reagan showed signs of problems as earlier as 1984. Obviously his staff covered for him and they, along with Nancy, made many important decisions about the nation while reagan stood idly by.

@x170063 Tomgram: Roger Morris, The CIA and the Gates Legacy

"Great continuity between Carter's approach. and that of his successor, Ronald Reagan," was how Bob Gates would proudly describe it.

Soviet policy: pledges of faithfulness by diplomatic day; a serial philanderer's abandon by covert-action night.

This describes the BEHIND THE SCENES consistency of both Presidents in forwarding ruthless covert foreign policy, and the objections of some loyal insiders who disapproved.

Lie about RR all you want, history tells the truth. He was undoubtedly the one TRUE statesman we ever had in the Oval Office. That man was light years above the rest, especially the one we have now !

It is clear that he had alzheimers in office. Most people would be unaware unless they had known or cared for someone with the disease. Scary thought.
