Will have exact details when transcript is made available...
During his first press conference a reporter asked a question about what Presidents he would consult. Obama's answer was to the effect of the living ones, not like Nancy Reagan seances or words to that effect...
Developing..
I’m with you.
I do not want one more Freeper to tell me that he is “MY” President and I have to “respect” him.
One is a fairly close guess and the other is and out right lie! Since when are we held to exact figures at FR. I think the man was trying to make a point, not impress a self appointed number cruncher.
The Obamanation is a very small, hateful person. The country is about to find out firsthand what Chicago politics is all about.
That's because it would have crashed the market if he had said it.
You are so right and no one caught it. It was Hillary who channelled Eleanor Roosevelt. Nancy Regan supposedly went to an astrologer after Ron was shot.
He can’t even get his insults right without a script.
Somebody get this guy a teleprompter.
I never liked Nancy Reagan; but it's pretty classless to mock a frail, elderly woman. (Note he was not kind in his revelation about his own "typical white person" grandmother, either.)
It's even worse to mock the widow of a great former president. Whatever you think of her, she deserves respect.
Especially classless was mocking Nancy Reagan on stage, before hundreds of reporters and television cameras, knowing the "joke" would be heard by millions. This wasn't some private remark that got picked up by a live mike.
(Less important, but on a factual note: I never heard anything about Nancy Reagan holding "seances." Did Obama, like his gaffe-o-matic VP, get his history mixed up? Perhaps he was thinking of Mary Lincoln? It is true that a disgruntled Reagan ex-staffer, who wrote a tell-all memoir, stuck the knife into Nancy by alleging that she began consulting an "astrologer" after the attempted assassination of her husband. Superstitious, yes; but not quite the same thing as "holding seances.")
bttt
He's going to send you a text message at 3 am.
What’s your point?
I heard it three times, he was insulting Nancy. He can’t even get his insults right without a teleprompter.
How long before Cartman calls him a “black azzhole”?
It was Hillary Clinton who channelled Eleanor Roosevelt. Nancy Regan went to an astrologer after Ronnie was shot.
This guy can’t even get his insults straight.
The Circus begins. Let’s hear the March of th Clowns.
Because the excruciatingly phony Obama said something stupid to begin with. (He had just finished a poorly stated sentence, in which he haltingly stated that he had talked to all the presidents, uh, hem, haw, uh... then with the regular fake super coolness looking for a way to clean it up, he said, 'the living ones')
He undoubtedly realized how dumb this sounded and with the lying mastery of one not fettered by a conscience, he quickly added a deceptive clause to pretend the poorly stated sentence was planned.
I have little doubt the Nancy Reagan seance explanation was employed to pretend he had meant the first lousy sentence to begin with to keep up supercool appearances.
His clumsy mocking of Nancy Reagan therefore served two purposes:
One, it covered up for the stumbling sentence that a pretend, supercool intellectual would be embarrassed to make.
Two, it was a good diversion for a leftist press who thinks he's way cooler than the former first lady but would be disappointed to hear the cool one babble like a common 'ham and egger'.
The lousy sentence was covered, (his supercool intellectual standing was preserved, no gaffe there) and besides it is forgivable to say anything about the enemy, but a supercool, deep thinker would have shrunk in stature if the mangled sentence had been left to stand for what it was.
It wasn’t Nancy Reagan it was Hillary Clinton who channelled Eleanor Roosevelt.
just like his 'lipstick on a pig' comment,,
just like his 'stinking rotten fish' comment,,,
just like his unbelievable silence on the Sarah Palin halloween hanging. /s
She did it after her husband got shot, cut the poor woman a little slack.
“Liberals simply cannot perpetually hide their hatred for the most popular President of the past 50 years. They hate him with a passion.”
I think you just nailed it.
The Obamamegalaego propelled him to the White House.
But that isn’t enough.
Now he won’t be happy unless he is considered the BEST president in USA history.
Pretty soon he’ll be bashing Lincoln.
