President Ronald Reagan's medical condition has suddenly worsened...


Reagan aide said that the former President has taken a turn for the worse. They don't think the end is imminent (not tomorrow). Staffers are being told to go about their business, to go on vacation if scheduled, DRUDGE has learned...

After Reagan dies, streets near the house in Belair will be closed. There will be NO annoucement of death from the house. Someone will call the news wires and announce where there will be an on-camera statement... Networks are preparing obits... MORE...

Ronald Reagan, The Actor!?!

Just because he took a turn for the worse doesn't mean he'll die cause of it, hopefully.

Well, he has been alive for quite a while.

Just to give some kind of idea how bad his Alzheimer's (I don't know if that's how you spell it, either) has gotten, he doesn't even remember ever being president.

He's dead. They just announced it. So apparently he did die of it.

93 is a respectable age, and he led a good life. Nothing for me to mourn over.

Yeah, natural death isn't all that tragic. Still, it is news.

And remember, "Joyce Summers: The only person in Sunnydale ever to die of natural causes."

I went out into the kitchen to look for something to put in my mouth, when I heard the TV in another room (my mom watches the news all day). I heard something about Reagan, walked into the room, and heard the news.

I remember one day my brother wanted to watch a DVD in our dad's room, and the only place we could put it on top of was a book on the bed (there's not much space for it in there). What book did he want to put it on? A book of Reagan's memoirs called "Dutch" or something. There was a phone book right there. I told him to put the DVD player on the phone book. He insisted on putting the damn thing on Reagan's memoirs. Dumbass (my brother, not Reagan).

Yeah, I know it's not like putting the DVD player on a Bible, but I thought it was disrespectful. On top of the phone book being RIGHT THERE.

Rest in peace, Mr. Reagan.

Not my favorite president, and his brain has been mush for years, but... ah, people are saddened by this, and that's bad.

They should bury him with a jar a jellybeans.

...What? I think it'd be a nice thing to do. Bury him with his favorite sweet treats. Yeah. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It is pretty sad, considering that he had Alzheimer's. My great aunt is starting to develop it too, so I kinda feel for the Reagan family. But he lived longer than most people who have it, though, so that's good.

May the former El Presidente rest in peace (and let's hope Nancy's handling this just fine).

I'm glad he's dead.

He wasn't really my favorite president, but that's not why. I'm glad he's free from being in such a deteriorated mental state.

^ Well, that's the only way to put glad that wont make me mad at you. He was suffering. RIP Reagan, you did things Clinton and Bush would never do if they were president in your time. And DDRFreak's forums once again beat you to it.

The biggest problem with Clinton is that nobody had the sense to mind their own ****ing bussiness.

Aaaaah, may Reagan RIP... long life... his suffering ended.

^Oh, Clinton had more problems than that.

I wish I could've seen Reagan as president...I was, what, a year old when he left office?
