"The President's condition is -- he's very sick. He's 91 years old. His Alzheimer's is advanced. As you recall, he broke his hip. Following his broken hip, he had surgery, and they got him up and walking around again. They were actually -- with some therapy. But now he's pretty much bedridden most of the time. So..."

Mid-morning Gipper bump.

Thank you President Reagan for giving us the focus, determination and will to defeat the Soviet Union. Without firing a shot.

Reagan has had a good, long, remarkable life and this will soon pass over to God's hands. I find it fitting that when he does pass on, it is during the administration of a man who holds the office of President as highly and with the dignity that he, himself held it.

It is a relief we'll not have to endure seeing Slick & Old Crusty representing the office at services and biting their lips in MOCK remourse for a man they held in the lowest esteem.

Best Wishes Mr. Reagan and we'll all look forward to seeing you in the promised land WITHOUT the likes of Slick, Old Crusty, and their "kindling" ilk.

I can only hope that he stays alive long enough to see conservatives turn the tables on the dems and start moving us back to the right.

We're already headed that way.

Mr. President, you are drawing near to the company of angels. You were certainly blessed here as you carried out duty for country. You work and efforts are truly missed.

May God ease his way. He doesn't want to leave, his love for Nancy is holding him here, even though his body has betrayed him he fights valiantly to hold on, to be here with her. He doesn't realize that they will NEVER be seperated. He's had a wonderful life and he has done his Creator proud.

God bless you Ronald Reagan, we are so grateful for your life.

I never had a crush on a rock star, I didn't sleep with a picture of the beatles under my pillow. Other than admiring Tom Selick in shorts, no hollywood star ever turned my head.

President Reagan is a different story. He was the first President that I ever really liked. In fact, in the 8 years he was in office, I can honestly say I fell in Love. Not in the romantic sense, but in the sense that he was my hero.

He was and still is, my favorite President. His honestly, integrity, warm sense of humor, intellegence and moral strength made me feel safe and secure. His love for America, and for all Americans was true and sincere.

I believe that Presidents are called of God. I truly believe that if a President stays close to God, he will not only be a great leader but a great man. Unfortunately few have had the inner strength to do this.

When President Reagan came into office, inflation was in the double digits. Interest rates were 11%, gas prices were high, wages were low. Patriotism was nonexistent. People were hungry for moral clarity and strength in a leader.

You know he was a great leader because of the vicious attacks on him by Democrats.

Thank you President Reagan, I will always remember you.

You're correct. In truth, Ronnie is no longer with us. God bless him.

Every time I think about him passing on to the next life, I feel like crying.

We'll all be crying when the former first criminals, Bubba and Hitlery crash the funeral for some free camera time. Don't think they won't!

Reagan was the best. It is so sad that such a great man is having such a long and tragic illness. It will probably be a blessing when he does pass on. He will be set free from his suffering. But I too, will be very sad to see him go.

"the libs hate 'em....."

There were less of them back then though. He even won a lot of them over. I remember back when he was elected to his second term in an absolute landslide, there seemed to be only a very few saying anything at all and mostly what I heard was "the American people have made it clear what they want," although it was said like they had a bad taste in their mouth from conceding that fact.

"I believe that Presidents are called of God."

So how do you explain Clinton? Maybe God had a mild case of Tourette's syndrome that day?

Clinton was God's wakeup call to us of what would happen to this nation if we became complacent.

Do you know the complete quote of President Reagan that ends, "... Government IS the problem!"

"Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem."

Don't know the rest. I think it was from his inaugural address.

Bubba was God's chastisement on the GOP for thinking we'd killed off the Democratic Party.

Very good point, Sir!

My father had a terrible stroke in 1993. I was stationed in Germany at the time, and rushed back to the USA on emergency leave. I made it to the hospital in time to hold his hand. All he could do was squeeze mine back.

Later that night he had several more strokes. The doctors recommended to my family (quite large) that we let him quietly pass away, as he was on total life support at this time and had no brain activity. I was the family member the most vehemently opposed to this idea. Surely, I thought, he may yet still recover? How can we just let him go when we might just get a miracle? My mother told me, "Son, he's already with God. What you see is simply the shell. What would your father say to you now if he could look down upon us and help us make a decision? You know he would want us to let him go, rather than be a burden on any of us." She was right, of course.

I see in Ronald Reagan so much of my father's spirit: Warm, strong, with good Chrisitan values and determination. But what we have now is like what my father was then; the shell of a great, powerful man. It IS right to wish him peace and an end to his suffering. God Praise Ronald Reagan!

I believe Ronald Reagan has and will be living longer than any previous president. (I think John Adams lived to 90, if my memory is right. And he had the longest living president.)
