As opposed to the modest and humble Obamas. And Michelle Obama who is known to avoid lavish dresses and celebrity appearances. But that's okay. She's on the left.

What about ALL the Lavish vacations SHE and her friends took all OVER the WORLD on our DIME !!

The Washington Post's Ridiculously Nasty Nancy Reagan Obit is a New Low
Not a NEW low, we've just forgotten how much the media/Left hated the Reagans.
I watched the NBC News Saturday night and their report contained at least three insults including Iran Contra (Nancy's fault?) and how Nancy created controversy by wearing expensive dresses while Americans were "suffering" during a (Jimmy Carter induced) recession.
The disrespect made me sick to my stomach.

Nancy Reagan was criticized by the likes of Lois Romano for buying new White House china - ever been to the WH basement where the various china sets from the presidencies are on display?? Its the people’s museum. Anyway, she wanted to spruce up the White House after the tackiness of the Carters so she bought new china SOLELY WITH DONATIONS FROM CONTRIBUTORS. Jackie Kennedy did the same thing and she never caught a word of criticism only lavish praise from the trashy people at the Washington Post and other like-minded media.

“As opposed to the modest and humble Obamas. And Michelle Obama who is known to avoid lavish dresses and celebrity appearances. But that’s okay. She’s on the left.”

Jackie Kennedy’s spending on new china, designer dresses, entertaining, and redecorating the White House was also completely acceptable and merely demonstrated she had impeccable taste and style.

:: No, Michelle Obola is “beautiful” and “wonderous” ::

"Have you seen her upper arms? So well-toned, both biceps and triceps! She MUST BE the most wonderous First Lady...like...EVER!"

Some people think that she is really "Michael" Obama.

that's a fake receipt. the two signatures are identical in form, but differ in size. I don't like Michelle Obama, and I didn't like Nancy Reagan. She chose a public life, and public figures get warts and all obituaries, sometimes even when they are icons of the left. Nancy Reagan's socialite pro-abortion views and her support for embryonic stem cell research disturb me on a moral level. I found her persona unpleasant but de gustibus non disputandum est

[stormer]

If that is real, Michelle Obama wasn’t First Lady when it was generated. And quite frankly, I’ve spent that much for dinner for my wife and I and I don’t think it’s out of line.

The Washington Post article wrote disparagingly of Nancy Reagan's "...wealthy California friends and celebrities who wore sable coats, knotted traffic with their shiny white limousines and threw lavish parties the likes of which were unprecedented at inaugural festivities."

By contrast, the media absolutely gushed over President Kennedy's lavish, celebrity-studded inaugural party and First Lady Jackie Kennedy's ritzy tastes.

Why are you surprised???

This is the same Washington Post that worships Michelle Obama.

Who reads the Post?

[I want the USA back]

I knew they wouldn’t be able to wait to get their fangs out and start trashing her.
Prediction: 0bammy is too busy to go to the funeral.

44.00 for Champagne? Must be ripple's upscale brand?

I was thinking the same thing. I've paid more than that for champagne many years ago at a liquor store. Also, consider that the price for a bottle of champagne is often higher at a restaurant or hotel than at a liquor store for the exact same champagne. So, what was the Waldorf-Astoria carrying that had an inflated price of $44?

She did. And the other thing that she generally did was to keep her opinions to herself and let Reagan be the President. She was considerably less socially conservative than he was (she seems to have been pro-abortion, for example), but she knew that people had elected him and not her.

She was generally very dignified and courteous, and was not a discordant presence the way you-know-who is. Of course, nobody’s dignified and courteous anymore, so I guess her style wouldn’t be appreciated now.

Isn’t that the China that the Clinton’s stole?

I disagree that she kept all of her opinions to herself. Even the biggest Reagan fans from his White House staff agreed that Nancy was a strong force. Reagan's first chief of staff Don Regan clashed with Nancy and was not kind to her in his 1988 memoir.

Nancy wielded her influence much differently than Hillary or Rosalyn Carter. Definitely more gracefully.

It is probably a $44.00 glass of Champagne as a guess.

[heartwood]

Yeah, I was thinking about ol’ Dan.

President Ronald W. Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan were a classy act!
How wonderful it would be to see that leadership, style, and grace return to the White House.
