And the press corps laughed heartily.

You *have* to laugh at Fuhrer's jokes. Do you want to be sent to the Russian front?

Old news item: "Adviser downplays Hillary Clinton's conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt. June 24, 1996 . . . ."

I did not hear it. Maybe he was talking about Hillary?

He could have just as easily cited Hilary having her talks with the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt.

I agree with Obama in this one respect.

Nancy’s consulations with Psychics helped legitimize new age beliefs. I loved the Reagans but this was a bad thing that Nancy did.

Most likely he meant to say ‘former presidents’ (but couldn’t come up with it) instead of ‘living presidents’ so to cover his gaffe, he went to mocking Nancy Reagan. Typical. Of course the press giggled.

Obama should have said that he’ll consult the living and let Whoopi Goldberg talk to the dead.

You just do NOT make fun of an ex president’s elderly widow who was or maybe still is in the hospital. It shows mental sloppiness by Obama, I doubt he wanted to be mean but his choice of “joke” to recover his own verbal gaffe was just awful.

He is not readty for prime time or even afternoon time. Calling Sarah Palin, she never said anything like that!

“He was trying to be funny. He wasn’t, but his intention IMHO was not to mock Nancy Reagan.”

I would agree.
Just a stupid thing that came out of his mouth. I'm guessing we will see more in the next 4 years

“I havent been doing any Nancy Reagan Seiances (sp.) but I have been in touch with...” He was trying to be funny. He wasn’t, but his intention IMHO was not to mock Nancy Reagan.

And what would his intention be if not to mock her? Why not say John Edwards, or fortune tellers? Why diss the wife of a great conservative President?

"His voters will be furious when they find out he dissed talking to the dead."

Since the dead elected him, the WhiteHouse may soon be haunted.

Nancy Reagan is still a beautiful woman in her sunshine years. What will Michelle Obama look like. Anybody?

Actually the reporter, Lynn Sweet, asked 0 if he consulted any “living presidents”, which was just as stupid. I guess she meant “former presidents”, and 0’s response was clumsy and cruel.

Shall I say it...Barry responds like a street punk. Not very Presidential, to say the least.

The elites have to live with this numb-skull for 4 years, ha!

It reveals his mindset, his thought patterns. The first thing that comes into his head is a mocking insult to a former first lady.
