AP- Ronald Reagan began eating jelly beans when he quite smoking in the early 1960's. On his first day as governor of California, candy maker Henry Rowland gave Reagan a jar of jellybeans. Reagan put this jar on the Cabinet Room table. That was the beginning of a long tradition of handing out jellybeans during Cabinet meetings. "We can hardly start a meeting or make a decision without passing around the jar of jelly beans," he told Rowland.
Reagan also once said that, "You can tell a lot about a fella's character by whether he picks out all of one color or just grabs a handful." Sometime later he remarked, "Some political figures have endured in history as lions or conquerors or something equally impressive. It's a little frightening to think California history might record us as jelly beans."
Reagan was elected President in 1980, Henry Rowland told reporters this, "There will be jelly beans in the White House, that's all I can say." True to form, Reagan kept a crystal jar full of his favorite jelly beans (Jelly Belly's) for Cabinet meetings and encouraged his department chiefs to eat them when they needed energy.
Guests at Reagan's 1980 inaugural parties consumed 40 million jellybeans --- almost equaling the number of votes he received in the election.
At the reading of Ronald Reagan's will today, it was discovered the former president wanted to be buried in 1000 pounds of jellybeans. His wife Nancy attributed this to the fact that Ronald had revised the will several months ago while in the clutches of Alzheimer's disease.
However, "The Great Communicators" final wishes will not be denied, and the Jelly Belly Company will be running three shifts for the next two days to provide the additional beans for Reagan's burial.
When asked by reporters what flavor Reagan will spend eternity in, Nancy said this, "I think that's between Ronald and God"

Reagan was a shit head alive and he is still a shithead dead.
I don't understand this whole rigmaroll surrounding a dead ex president. Other than seeing it as a beat up by the white house to give the present incumbent a few browny points.

What's wrong ? Can't deal with people camping your post with stupid arguments ? You certainly seem to enjoy it. Permit to ruin your rating as well. Another -2 should compensate for your spamming.

That was the only good thing about Reagan; his hardcore promotion of Jelly Belly jelly beans, hands down the best jelly beans ever.

I'm pretty sure that when I was watching the ceremony yesterday, I saw Michael Reagan holding an urn that commentators said contained the ashes of President Reagan. Whassupwitdat? He's still supposed to be interred at the Library though . . . do you interr (?) ashes?
Oh, but the point was, that makes me think this is a fake news article post. Sorry.

Reagan was a good friend of mine, we raped lots and lots of young asian boys when we where hanging out in an opium den last year.
Oh, the memories.
