Obama Mocks Nancy Reagan in 1st Press Conference

Obama Press Conference | Today | Self

[DouglasKC]

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...

Still have not heard his plan for the economy. I thought that was the reason for the speech.

His plan for the economy should be to stop talking. The market shed 150 points in the 15 minutes that his pie-hole was emitting sound.

And yes, the crack about Nancy Reagan was crass and low-brow, but perfectly in comportment with the idiot that he is.

Liveblogging Obama's Presser: Q and A

Obama: "In terms of speaking to former president, I've spoken to all of them... I don't want to get any Nancy Reagan thing and do any seances.... re-read Lincoln's writing...as for the dog... Malia is allergic, so it has to be hypoallegernic...we have a preference to get a shelter dog..Michelle will be making [decisions about schools] a little later."

[DannyTN]

But it’s also pretty classless of Obama to ridicule a former first lady on his first press conference, even if what she did was worthy of ridicule, and especially since Obama has critizised the McCain campaign for their tone.

I don’t recall Nancy ever having a seance.

When did this happen?

Astrology I remember.

[frankiep]

The contempt I have for the people who voted for this piece of filth cannot adequately be described here.

[gridlock]

How long do we have to smile and go on “respecting the office” while our President-Elect continues to grind our noses in it?

[danmyte]

I am aware of all of the psychic stuff but never heard that Nancy Reagan held any real seances in the White House. Is that even true or another made up “fact” by BO?

[notaliberal]

He’s nothing but a classless punk!

[WellyP]

Nancy has always been a little nutty from my perspective. It was a remark that did not have to be made. For the remark I can give Obama the A....................hole award!

[ari-freedom]

it was also kooky

[gridlock]

Obama is from Chicago. He does not want to piss off the Dead Vote!

[Infidel Puppy]

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

Well, assuming she doesn't brood any more young:

But, of course, the only living president that would try to help him is Carter. Clinton would surely lead him in the wrong direction.

On the other hand, the Bushes would probably give him advice they believed would help.

Astrology I remember.

Me, too. I thought Hillary talked to Eleanor Roosevelt.

[wolfcreek]

From another thread: “I hope that God will change his heart,” Graham added.”

If not then....STOP IT.

[Puppage]

It was awkward ugly and stupid, and he did it to recover because he stupidly began by saying he consulted all the “living” ex presidents.

His inexperience shining through. It didn't hurt America....THIS time.

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

We can stop by Sarah's house for lunch! Hang out with Todd!

Meanwhile, on NBC-BS, CBS-BS, ABC-BC and CNN-BS, the details of Nobama’s slam on Mrs. Reagan:

[sound of crickets chirping]

WASS! We Are So Screwed!

Just wait until Barry insults a foreign dignitary. It will happen, as Barry is not very nuanced.
