Ronald Reagan
 
I heard on the news this morning that he may have weeks maybe months left until he dies as his health has taken a really serious turn for the worst. CNN said The White House has confirmed this.... really sad the way he has lived the last 10 yrs of his life. 93 and has hung on this far is truly amazing.

It's sad. They also said he is the longest living president. Living to be 93 even with Alzheimer's is quite a feat.

He was always a good TKE and did stuff for the fraternity up til he got Alzheimer's.

I hope when he passes it's quick and he feels no sort of pain.

Eventually it's gonna happen, and be prepared for the sh*tload of retrospectives about The Gipper's life and times and the presidential funeral carried live on all networks when he does 'shuffle off the mortal coil'.

Last presidential funeral was in 1994 when Nixon died. Presidents who either die in office or are past presidents are given a 30-day national mouning period.

Its amazing that when he was president, he was criticized as being one of the worst presidents ever by the media. Now historians are painting a different picture; that of a man who had a vision of defeating communism, and executed that vision to success.

May his last days be free of pain.

I saw Nancy Reagan speaking about stem cell research to help people like her husband. My heart goes out to her. She is a very devoted wife.

I wouldn't really call these past few years for him "living". Existing is more like it. While he certainly wasn't the best president, I will be sorry to see him go and I hope that he goes "gently into that good night."

I am a huge fan of Nancy for her anti-drug campaign.

Reagan died. It's a sad day. It just flashed on the news.

She was very devoted and such a strong lady. President Bush is the one who is denying only such a limited amt of stem cell research.. My family knows first hand about this. My grand dad died a very slow death and grueling death with complications both from parkinsons and alzhiemers last yr and know what she is going thru.

It is such a very sad day for all of america when ,like rudy said , but the fact the greatest american died today and it is sad to see and hear.

I remember the "Evil Empire" speech. He was true and sincere and honest.

How sad! I just hear the news. I wish I could extend my deepest sympathy to Nancy Reagan. I am so heartbroken. A major part of my childhood is gone. Rest in peace Ronald Reagan. My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless!

Seriously, I am bawling my eyes out. I am not sure why, but I am heartbroken.
