Obama has spoken only to living presidents

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.

Is Biden out telling Gerald Ford to stand up so he can get some advice on how to replace of a troublesome president?

Dudes got filtering problems. Cocaine will do that to you. Don’t fool with those dopamine reuptake pumps.

Maybe Barry is who Michelle had in mind when she said that America is “downright mean.”

I wonder what the Vichy Republicans think of Barry’s so-called “first-class temperment” now? I would call it low-class.

In some ways, I hope Nancy passes while W and Laura are still in the White House. The thought of the Obamas smirking through a funeral for Nancy makes me ill. I hope the Reagan family will have a closed service.

4 years of this crap from those mental midgets. They have no class picking on an old lady. Maybe he should consult his brother living in a hut or his aunt in a boston slum too.

It is also very worrisome. What sort of legislation or regulations will he push not because he believes in it but merely to slap someone in the face.

He probably secretly disliked his grandma too. In fact, I suspect he’s a closet sexist.

Careful, the Secret Service doesn’t have a sense of humor.

> 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?

Another gaff by Obiwan that I am kind of suprised no one else is talking about is when asked about picking a school for his daughters he said; Michele’s looking into it”. It was the tone with which he said it as if it was beneath is level.
I would think this would teeoff a few of his female supporters.

What an ugly, graceless thing to say, and it was an entirely gratuitous thing. No-one would have expected Hussein to talk to Nancy Reagan since she isn’t an ex-President.

It is revealing that he felt perfectly comfortable saying it in front of the press, in a tone that implied “You and I are allies on the same wave-length”, because of course they are. I listened to the conference on NPR and, not surprisingly, they said absolutely nothing about his disgusting remark.

In fact, the NPR nitwit commentator made a remark about how Obama’s remarks contained a “subliminal” message that the President is on his own regarding the economy. So much for reaching across the isle...

Adolescent. I think we may see more of this classless behavior as a revelation of his true character.

But the Fox reporter, Jim Angle, pointed out it was Hillary who was trying to channel Eleanor Roosevelt in a seance.

There is no telling, but I sure will be happy if the GOP gets its act together and retakes the majorities in Congress in two years after everyone has had a chance to get good and sick of Big Mouth Barry and Aunt Esther. I have a feeling many are going to be sick of him in record time, including the lamestreams if he starts zinging them with his jejune “humor.”

I’m sorry, what I meant to type was that I could find no reliable sources that confirm Nancy took part in SEANCES, not astrology.
