If he made a mocking remark, don’t worry about it.

85% of the American public finds mockery of elderly and the dead to be despicable. The 15% of the population who are diehard lefties think it’s “clever”.

We’re going to win in 2012 if we play it right.

His voters will be furious when they find out he dissed talking to the dead.

Given that dead people were one of his core constituencies this was a very risky political move [/sarcasm off

Well he’s real presidential, isn’t he?

I sure his hip hop fans won’t care. He doesn’t want to ingratiate himself to whites anyway so I’m surprised he didn’t dis all the previous presidents - living or dead.

If he really said that, that demonstrates that that little ole mean streak, with a dollop of dripping sarcasm, he occasionally showed on the trail is, as suspected, actually a major personality trait.

Hateful.

You can’t minimize how many people Obama offended with this in his very first press conference!

Certainly worse than anything Saraha Palin has ever said, and right up there with Biden. Worse because he was so stupid in his first outing as prez elect.

Lynn Sweet is a Chicago Sun Times reporter who's job for the last couple of years has been to do nothing but follow Obama around and write gushing articles about him.

This is just a hint of what gets joked about when the cameras aren’t rolling.

Youse guys don’t get it. Nancy Reagan’s alleged seances is an obscure and forgotten anecdote to most of us. But not in the elitist circles of 0bama Ayers, apparently, which is why it came out so naturally. This was a slip, and a moment of truth.

From a current news item: . . . Mr Obama's promise to foster a non-partisan tone in Washington . . .

Oh well. It was good while it lasted .. about 66 hours.

Wasn’t it hillary who used to talk to the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt?

Caught this immediately. What I hated the most about this untrue slam was P.E. Obama’s mocking tone, and the reporters’ gleeful laughing. Nancy Reagan is ill and elderly. We all prayed for Obama’s poor Grandmother, too. The word I am thinking of is really not appropriate for me to say about our new President.

I heard it too. First time out and he insults a good woman. IMHO this is good news because it shows us these people will not be able to contain their hatred of everything middle America holds dear. They will over reach, over insult, and over indulge the power they have.

The next 4 yrs will be a bare knuckle battle..but the good news is BO will energize the base as no one since Carter/Clinton. And don’t forget:

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

“Jean Houston, interviewed at the Newark Airport by CNN, said that Mrs. Clinton did indeed have imaginary conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt at Houston’s suggestion.”

Great start exalted one!

Bagging on a sick, old defenseless woman.

A nice new tone to your “Office of President Elect”.

I am aware of all of the psychic stuff but never heard that Nancy Reagan held any real seances in the White House. Is that even true or another made up “fact” by BO?

You're doubting His word? What next, asserting that he acquired the office via a coup through massive voter fraud? Outrageous. Now, let's laugh at some more of Glorious Leader's made-up stuff (but only the appropriate made up stuff. The serious made-up stuff, we have to defend).

Obama is a sexist pig. He doesn’t have Hillary or Sarah to slam anymore so he turns his attention to slamming an elderly former first lady. Big man.

In an interview from last year, Barack said his pet peave is when one person treats another with cruelty. I guess taking a cheap shot at an 87 year old is not considered cruel. WSF (We’re So FxxxxD!)
