"Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments.
Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents...
that's where it's really at."

Say what you will about President George W. Bush, but I don't recall him ever mocking an elderly widow in his pronouncements. But Barack Obama couldn't get through his first press conference as president-elect without doing just that.
Answering a question from Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times as to the presidents he has consulted during the transition, Obama took a gratuitous jab at Nancy Reagan.
BARACK OBAMA: In terms of speaking to former presidents, I've spoken to all of them that are living, obviously President Clinton--I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any séances.

One would hope but most libs are like middle school girls.
0bama = Abortion
Genetic impossibility for BO.
Obama is obviously not a man of good humor. But when he does attempt humor it is almost exclusively focused on mocking others. Unlike Bush, Obama rarely pokes fun at himself.
I am shocked, since he has been so respectful of other white women. /s
He should be careful. Some people believe that after you die, you can come back and protect your loved ones.
I’m sure Ronald Reagan would be VERY unhappy to hear his beloved wife being made fun of like that...
Thanks, Ancesthntr. By your handle, I’m guessing you’re a genealogist—one who obviously knows his/her stuff! When writing the item, I did a quick Google search that showed Mrs. Reagan’s DOB as 1923, but after reading post went to Wiki that shows 1921. I’ve gone back and changed the headline at NB.
It was an entirely crafted and wholly scripted insult designed to enrage republicans.
Just like the Office of the President Elect Podium.
It’s pure in your face smack.
What a smarmy, low-class little piece of crap this man is. Try as I might to resign myself to this person sitting in the Oval Office for the next four (maybe eight) years, the very thought of it just makes me sick. Not to mention the idea of that battleaxe he’s married to as our first lady, especially after having our lovely and gracious First Lady Laura, it’s almost too much to bear. And he hasn’t even been sworn in yet :-((
Question: What was the audience response to his quip? The video cuts right before the rimshot.
Thanks.
Isn’t this the guy who can see the dead? Last Memorial Day he stated that he saw some in the crowd he was addressing.
Doesn’t surprise me, from what I’m hearing, his wife’s favorite word begins with “f”.
Wasn’t it Hillary who talked to Eleanor?
I too have stopped watching network and cable news except for FOX. Since the election, I won’t even watch FOX anymore. I get my info from Rush Limbaugh and a few reliable websites. The less I see and hear Obama, the better I feel.
Smattering of laughter as he was saying it; pretty silent when he finished.
My only news source is FR. I don’t watch TV at all. Not even regular programming.
