Damn near used the N word. Awkwardly said "Negro" in response to a girl's question. You would think that word, even the less offensive version, would be beneath the "dignity" of the President in 1988. Racist piece of shit.

2. By that time of that speech I think he was already in
the grasp af Alzeimers. His handlers didn't have him out much those latter years in uncontrolled environments.

From what I have read many of those inflicted with the disiese revert back to earlier years in their lives, for Reagan it was racist America.

I don't begrudge the man for his Alzeimers at the end of his term.

I begrudge him for not taking the lead in the world against aids and the beginning of the dumbing down of schools.

4. If his handlers knew he was incompetent already...
then he shouldn't have been serving as POTUS at that point. They should have had him resign.
