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.

It’s beyond reckoning why Obama would snub Nancy on this. It fits the pattern of a conservative icon abandoning pro-life principles and then getting praised by a Democrat for it.

When zer0 is done he will make carter look good. The country will be clamoring for a Reagan free market type of conservative to undo zer0’s own misery index. But meanwhile...

if Ronaldus Maximus is still hanging around the halls, then maybe he can vent a little late-late show, drive-in movie theater justice on the current White House occupant...

"...When zer0 is done he will make carter look good..."

Hell, about 70 days ago, I actually caught myself wistfully looking at a picture of ole Slick Willie himself

(... and quickly slapped myself in the face with cold water...)

A few weeks ago heard on the radio that there is a new book about Reagan. The author says he believed there were space aliens trying to take over the country when he was in office. My 15 year old son and I looked at each other when we heard this and he said, “Reagan was right.”

Gee Nancy...sorry you didn't get the invite to celebrate the death of human embryos to harvest stem cells that have never proved productive in a positive sense.

Nancy Reagan is really nothing without Ronald Reagan.

Would this be the book about his day to day happenings in the white house. I saw that book in Kmart and it was at the bottom shelf, so I spend the rest of my lunch hour rearranging. Putting Osama and his ugly wife on the bottom and Ronnie on top! I'm going to get hubby the book for Fathers Day.
