Nancy Reagan: Obama Snubbed Me Former first wife also says in an interview she sees Ronald Reagan's ghost

Former First Lady Nancy Reagan said this week that President Barack Obama snubbed her -- and that she still sees the ghost of her late husband Ronald Reagan inside her home.

Nancy Reagan told Vanity Fair that Obama missed an opportunity when she wasn't invited to a March ceremony where Obama said he'd allow comprehensive stem-cell research -- but that the commander in chief later apologized for the oversight.

“I would have gone, and you know I don’t like to travel,” said Reagan, 87, a well-known stem-cell advocate. “Politically it would have been a good thing for him to do.

"Oh, well, nobody’s perfect," she said.

It isn't the first time Obama's insulted the former First Lady -- he cracked a joke in November 2008 about Reagan's reported consultations with astrologers during her time in the White House.

That it would explain the insanity in Washington, D.C.

Which is why I laughed - your son's response was quite clever. And we need some comic relief here and there through this administration, otherwise we'll all go insane.

There are a fair number of people who claim to see or get messages from loved ones who have died. If it makes them feel better, what harm is there?

I had some odd things happen after a loved one died. Very odd with no explanation.

I didn’t intend my remark to be snide, I intended it to be logical. It is not uncommon for people in their upper 80’s to be senile in some degree, and either Nancy doesn’t know or care that she is simply being used by Obama to burnish his image.

He could give a rat’s ass about who she is or what her Husband stood for.

Apparently, you’re missing the pattern.

They weren't! I was referring to some of the other posts. My mother is 93 and has been senile for about 12 years; bedridden for 4. She lives with me... and I see senility coming to the front door. LOL!

You don’t seem a class act either. She’s 88 years old! Find somebody else to smear!

I thought Mary Todd Lincoln held seances. I may be wrong. But, I vaguely remember something like that.

Several sources state that she did. She led a tragic life. Much of her family was from the south, and many of her relatives died fighting for the Confederacy. One of her sons, Willie, died at age 11. The Lincolns had his body disinterred twice so they could view his remains again. Of course, she was sitting next to Abraham when he was assassinated. She was also supposed to have had both physical and mental problems.

I don’t disagree with you, Jadyjane. In fact, I’ve had a couple of very amazing things happen to me, too. It’s just that Nancy has been involved in astronomy which I believe is pseudoscientific.

But then, I’m the original disbeliever in what many people claim to be “miracles” or religious experiences. And such events should never cheapen the real events.

I know that there can be real communication between this world and the next. I’m very glad that you have experienced the real events. I know how precious they are.

I’ve probably explained myself badly, so please know that I DO believe in communication with deceased loved ones, I just don’t trust Nancy’s lack of common sense.

What a lovely gathering that would have been. All gathering in the name of killing babies so some parent can have the false hope of curing their kid his disease.
