How did you feel seeing Bush
run his hands over the flag on Reagans casket? It made me ill. That is something a family member would do - not some bandy-legged little rooster looking for votes.

4. No he didn't. He just reached out and put his hand in one spot
for a few seconds, as many others did. Bush looked very weird.

13. I saw him run his hands on the flag...
media said he was "smoothing out the flag".. * and pickles are disgraceful. Wonder how Nancy feels about this, and I wonder IF she'll have anything to say about them or to them today especially since * and pops are giving a speech, short, for the eulogy. I really hope she rips them a new one!

5. He looked like he was smoothing a tablecloth
I felt glad that the tablecloth was being smoothed.

6. He didn't know what to do with his hands -- awkward, and without grace...
as usual.

8. He didn't really know the man
When asked about his favorite personal experience of Reagan he talked about some rally that he went to that Reagan was at and then went on to talk about what his dad told him *about* Reagan.

9. A Reagan Democrat
I am one of those Democrats who voted for Reagan so I feel pretty bad about his dying and that's all I can think about really. Reagan and JFK, my favorite President, had a lot in common, policy-wise.
