UPDATE: The date for this event has changed to Friday (1/21) at 7p.m. Just got this note from Magnolia?s Bookstore: He was originally going to be here on Jan. 18th, but he decided to accept Good Morning America’s invitation to appear there instead. He is going to be here on January 21st, at 7 p.m.
Local author Ron Reagan will present his new biography of the Great Communicator ? his father, former president Ronald Reagan. The book is titled "My Father at 100."
The book is already creating controversy, including a claim by Reagan that his father suffered from Alzheimer’s disease while in the White House, a claim dismissed by Reagan’s doctors and outside experts.
The event takes place at 7 p.m. on Tuesday (1/18) at Magnolia’s Bookstore at 3206 W. McGraw Street. The book event is free. For more information call 206-283-1062.
I was in the bookstore yesterday and the date has been changed to this Friday the 22nd @ 7:00. I would confirm this with the bookstore.
Ummm. Friday the 22nd? Really?
Why in the world does it make a difference now?!
Hard decision between Good Morning America and the magnolia bookstore.
GMA ripped him apart this morning. Seems to me he goes out of his way to champion everything his Father was against. Too bad, for both of them.
I really hope the good people of Magnolia challenge Ron Jr on where is got his information about his claim that his father had Alzheimers while in the White House. I just saw an interview where he has started to back peddle on his story. I just find it very sad he is out peddling a book and making such claims just to make a buck off his Father that has passed on.

Yeah, because Reagan was such a great guy. Lets see:
-The War on Poverty literally was a war on people who were poor.
-The War on Drugs…need I say more?
-Just Say No effectiveness
-Iran-Contra
-Aiding the Mujaheddin/Taliban (it sounded like a good idea at the time)
-Aiding Iraq with WMD’s for war against Iran (it sounded like a good idea at the time)
Sorry folks, what seemed like “good ideas” in the eighties are having serious consequences 10-30 years later.
OMG Cat Country if you put it that way Ron Jr should totally rip on his father and make a buck. What an awful President, I mean what was he thinking, standing up against communism and drugs and evil dictators with nuclear weapons pointed right at the US. Wonder what the Good Ideas of 2010’s are going to bring us 10-30 years from now
Sup L RON HUBBARD. How goes the cult?

Ron Jr never said his dad had Alzheimer’s in the White House. There is nothing to back peddle because he never said that in the book. What he actually said is that he noticed a change in his father following the 1984 debate with Walter Mondale. In fact, quite a few reporters mentioned at the time that Reagan didn’t seem his usual self. Ron Jr did not know at the time what it was, just that he seemed to have changed. Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease, you don’t just wake up one day and “have” it. And Ron Jr has mentioned that even if his dad did have Alzheimer’s early, so what? He’s not accusing anyone of knowing and covering it up. It’s a disease like cancer. He may have had early symptoms that no one thought to check.
All this deification of Reagan by the right is just dumb. He was human and had qualities and faults just like everyone else. In fact, with the right’s preoccupation with towing the party line, Reagan today would have not been elected dog catcher.
Why is the possibility that he had Alzheimer’s such a shocker? It’s not to me, at all. Like the government would openly announce this to anyone while he’s in the White House.
Thanks for sharing this post with us. It’s really an amazing post. Keep posting the good work in future too.
