Ron Reagan Father Quotations

My father didn't know George W. Bush from Adam.

My father never felt the need to wrap himself in anybody's mantle. He never felt the need to pretend to be anybody else. This is their administration. This is their war. If they can't stand on their own two feet, well, they're no Ronald Reagans, that's for sure.

My father felt that children should make their own way.

I'm aware that most people who meet me for the first time think of me in a certain way because of who my father is. That just comes with the territory. But that's been that way ever since I was a little kid as long as I can remember. I grew up that way.

My father was a man-that's the difference between him and Bush.

The outstanding thing about my father to me anyway was just what a good and decent person he was. He was good and decent to everybody.

Every once in a while someone will make the mistake ... of invoking my father in some way that they have really no right to do. ... I'll tolerate it up to a point, but after a point it's like, I'm going to shut this down right now.

He never stopped wanting to save the world.

The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now (Alzheimer's Syndrome). Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's - these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people.
