President Reagan's voice is so calming. I can see how someone like him, in a position of leadership, and telling people things are okay or will get better would lift people's spirits.
RIP

As a Reagan historian, who has watched many hours of footage of his presidency taken by his own camera team, including scores of interviews, I can confidently say that I do not see Alzheimers present here. Yes, the President is older, and yes that means he looks it and his voice is not as strong and his delivery is slower. But I put that down to being 80 years old. The President clearly understands the questions and answers them as he would have many years earlier. There is no decline. As for forgetting scenes from movies: that's normal. He starred in 53 films throughout his career. And if he were President in 1991, I believe he could have done his job. That said, I have pinpointed 1992 as the year when he did descend into Alzheimers, being totally unable to recall anything to do with Iran-Contra when questioned by the special prosecutor at his office. We have the transcripts. And Reagan himself is totally alarmed by it. So, it was a blessing that he didn't get the third term that would have been his if not for the 22nd amendment which limits a president to two terms.

This interview was 30 years ago nine days from today. Hard to believe it was that long ago.

Fuck yeah, we the people! Ron says that the elected officials work for US and that politicians need to remember that!
Rest easy President Reagan, and be at peace.
