Very, VERY sad. I never liked the man's politics or his economics, but I would hate to see anyone with Alzheimer's disease. The couple couldn't celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary and he is virtually secluded now in his home.

One thing is for certain: this will send Shaun Hannity into uncontrollable weeping fits for weeks.

I really couldn't deal with someone who I loved greatly that could not remember me......that would really break my heart. :(

It's too bad he's been out of the public for many years now... Didn't always make the best decisions, but a nice guy. :(

For what its worth, the actual quote from Nancy Reagan when asked whether her husband still recognizes her was "<pause> I don't know."

Eh, why'd you have to bring up Hannity? The man's an airhead.

can't people say they're sorry, or its sad without prefacing their comments with the disclaimer that they didn't like him or his politics.

Reagan had such charisma and stature, people like the Bushes and Clinton, and all politicians today can't even carry the Gipper's 90 year old jock strap.
