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...

Developing..

[conservative_guyz]

what a puppet... countdown until they pull this joker off center stage and send out a press secretary

[mad_as_he$$]

Ancient history and not relevant to the times. It was a cheap shot at an elderly woman who cannot defend herself.

THE LEFT IS AT WAR WITH US- WAKE UP!

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

IMHO...BS

[Doogle]

the media buttoned up about his name for the election...it is his name...he joked about at a recent event... it's fair game now!!!

[katiekins1]

Well folks it looks like the obamabots didn't get their free cars...did anybody feel comforted by the “The One”? The only issue that was perfectly clear...Is that is daughter is allergic to certain dogs. WOW!!!! oh...and BHO refered to himself as a MUTT. To me that's an understatement. Did anyone notice that true to form BHO was late for his first news conference. They must of had technical difficulties installing that micro chip in his brain for his mini tele prompter. WHAT A JOKE.

So Barak’s position is that first-ladies are open for ridicule? Does that include Michelle?

[BlueStateBlues]

Nancy played with astrology, not seances. It was Hillary who channeled Eleanor Roosevelt, and in the process took on some of her facial characteristics.

[Bitsy]

Liberals simply cannot perpetually hide their hatred for the most popular President of the past 50 years. They hate him with a passion.

Didn't Hillery Clinton talk to Eleanor Roosevelt of something?

[Irish Eyes]

Carter beget Reagan
Clinton beget Gingrich
Who will BO beget..??..

Sarah Palin of course ;)

[Arthur McGowan]

AFAIK, Nancy consulted an astrologer, but did not participate in any seances.

bttt

[carmody]

Kind of like when his face gets itchy and the only available finger is the middle one. Not intentional at all.

[Maximum Leader]

ha ha John Edwards would have been funny-—
it would let him diss a psychic (John Edward) and an adulterous scumbug (John Edwards).

The word is that Sen. Edwards was set to be tapped as Obama’s VP nominee. Lucky for Obama, the Enquirer caught him redhanded BEFORE the Dem convention, so they (hair)plugged Biden in instead. That idiot Edwards lied to everyone and swore the rumors were false and I bet Obama is still pissed at him. If the story had broke after he was on the ticket, it would have wrecked Obama’s campaign.

Never wise to pick on a widowed First Lady. I expect he’ll be publicly apologizing to her by tomorrow.

[BlueStateBlues]

ah, good point. He’s been reading Lincoln, so maybe he brain-short-circuited and was talked of crazy Mary Todd, who held seances in the White House.

[SouthernmostFreeper]

AS IF WE DIDN'T TRY TO TELL PEOPLE...

[Arthur McGowan]

“I heard that Nancy Reagan voted for him because she believes that he’ll support embryonic stem cell research.”

Give it UP, Nancy! Ronnie’s DEAD!

[Mad_as_heck]

First press conference and our “uniter-in-chief” is already stooping to divisive, spitefull, tasteless BS. A shallow, ugly man IMHO and not up to the tasks of his office.

I’ve said from the beginning: He will either be another Carter or an American Hugo Chavez. This was more in the Jimmy line.

[Fury]

He was trying to make a joke with his press buddies by mocking a common enemy, the Reagans...

I just saw it - he was trying to be funny. Instead he was tacky.

That sort of thing is not something a President-Elect should be doing at his first press conference. He needs to act presidential.

[Lancey Howard]

Obama is a steaming pantload and I expect a heavy dose of "buyer's remorse" to set in VERY quickly.

All those suburban, chattering-class morons who joined the athiests, abortion enthusiasts, condom-throwers, gold-chained union thugs, welfare grandmothers, Boy Scout-hating lesbians, hand-wringing college professors, and the rest of the parasites, losers, and goofballs who comprise the Democrat party "base" to elect this turd are about to do a collective Homer Simpson impression.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Obama's answer was to the effect of the living ones, not like Nancy Reagan seances or words to that effect...

Classy. Actually, I have to believe that the corpses of several former presidents would have more worthwhile advice for Obama than Jimmy Carter.
