Obama says in his first post-election press conference that he's spoken to all the former presidents — Carter, Bush, Clinton, as well as the current Bush — and, looser than he's been in months, dares a joke at the expense of the widow of the most recently deceased. "I have spoken to all of them who are living," he says. "I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any séances," he says.

I think it was Mrs. Clinton that had the pretend seance?

In the spirit of bipartisanship, I wish to remind President Elect Obama that it was widely reported that Mrs. Hillary Rodham-Clinton conducted seances to contact the spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt while in the White House. It seems the fascination with the occult and the desire to get a jump on the future is not unique to either party. I would like him to point that out in his next presser when he’s vamping for time between uh’s.

While Hillary may have, it is well documented that Nancy Reagan has the unfortunate belief in astrology and seances. She deserves derision for this - from mopes like us - not President-elects.

In a Memorial Day speech on May 26, 2008, in Las Cruces, NM, Obama says “on this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes—and I see many of them in the audience here today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh6Gx1KrvTw

I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan Hillary Clinton thing about doing any séances channeling other lesbian "first spouses."

It was an unnecessary low blow from which he may never recover.

I didn’t think he was capable of jumping the shark but he just may have.

I have seen references to astrology, but could find no reliable sources that confirm Nancy partook in astrology.... only unsubstantiated comments from clearly partisan sources.
Where would I find documentation?
