A crowd of about 280 young conservatives responded to a speech about former President Ronald Reagan, given by his son Michael Reagan, with laughter, tears and three standing ovations.
"Tell the story of Ronald Reagan and the kind of man he was," Michael Reagan told the audience. "I miss him. The world misses him. We were lucky because we had him. Don't ever forget what he did for us and what you could do for the nation in the future."

He is missed by millions.
Figures it was Michael and not the ballerina.
I knew this had to be THAT son, not the other one...genetics isn’t everything.
And we miss Ronald Reagan as well.
Ronald Reagan, billions and billions served.
He was missed long before his death.
Reagan bump!
I never knew either of my grandfathers. I like to think of Reagan as my surrogate grandfather. He certainly shaped a great part of who I am today, who I married and how we are raising our children.
Good one!

He’s great and head and shoulders above Jr.
We all miss Ronnie and need him now more than ever! He makes the vast majority of those calling themselves politicians look like the morons they are. When compared to Reagan, the Liberals in Congress show themselves to be the traitors they are. His ability to stand up to his critics and the MSM is desperately missed and needed.
I still remember the funeral and Junior's behavior.
I thought his son was very liberal? Not to say he doesn’t miss them, and thinks greatly of his father...
But I thought his political difference would lead to different comments on his contributions...but perhaps I don’t know enough about Michael to comment. Ron was definitely a man for his time.
I believe the one person that can best fill his shoes is Fred Thompson. It’s a tall order to be sure but no one else the GOP can put up even comes close.
It is time to add Reagan to Mt. Rushmore.
I so wish he had been President (again) from 2000-2008.
Bump for President Reagan and Michael.
Amen to that!
Michael is a very conservative talk show host and a very decent guy unlike the other son.
Definately not Michael. You must be thinking of Ron.
