Oh man, the GOP is going to have a field day with the Nancy Reagan joke.

[Lumpsum]

I can't wait to see Faux's fake outrage at the joke.

[darkism]

1. For us trapped in cubeland, what was the joke? n/t

[Ozma]

11. Obama said "I have consulted with ALL former Presidents"....

then added, "the living ones"...and said he was not channeling like Nancy Reagan might have done.

[SpiralHawk]

21. "Smirk." - Ronald Reagan's Dead Republicon Astrologer*

"We republicon OCCULTISTS have the inside story. Smirk."

- Ronald Reagan's Dead Republicon Astrologer*



* Courageously channeled by Spiral Hawk from the Vast Corrupt Republicon Netherworld of OCCULTISM.

[ElboRuum]

30. Pffffftttt...

:rofl:

Oooh, that one's going to leave a mark on the Reaganite faithful. Yeouch.

[Life Long Dem]

40. About death...

Never mind. It's just hard to talk about. But that wasn't what this was about.

[SoonerPride]

12. seances

He was asked if he had spoked to any presidents
he said he had talked to all of them, all the living ones. He said he didn't want any one to think he was doing seances like Nancy Reagan.

[supernova]

14. ? about have you spoken to any former Presidents?

He said yes, he's spoken to all the living ones. .... and then added...


No seances a la Nancy Reagan.


:rofl:

[Liberal Elitist]

39. Video of this Q&A here

[SoonerPride]

2. Hannity blubbering: "He spat upon the sacred memory of St. Ronnie Raygun"

Seaces!

The outrage!

:rofl:

[d_b]

3. do tell

[crappyjazz]

4. Who cares? They're irrevelant

Let them spew

[SoonerPride]

8. seances

He was asked if he had spoked to any presidents
he said he had talked to all of them, all the living ones. He said he didn't want any one to think he was doing seances like Nancy Reagan.

[CTyankee]

23. my sentiments entirely!

Screw 'em!

[NewJeffCT]

5. what was this joke you speak of?

the cuberats?

[SoonerPride]

13. here

He was asked if he had spoked to any presidents
he said he had talked to all of them, all the living ones. He said he didn't want any one to think he was doing seances like Nancy Reagan.

[BOSSHOG]

22. He was asked if he has talked to any presidents for advice

He said he talked to the living ones. Chuckling made a reference to Nancy and her seances. No doubt a world spinning outrage to those who can be outraged at the drop of the unemployment numbers.

[bluestateguy]

6. But isn't it true that she did have seances?

??

[FLyellowdog]

26. I think yes...certainly used astrologers for advice.

[AndyA]

7. Didn't Nancy Reagan have a psychic in to advise on policy?

Not really very funny, when you consider that the First Lady was on the phone to the Psychic Friends Network on a daily basis, asking whether or not we should nuke Russia...

But yes, Faux News needs something big to fill the airwaves during their last few months on the air.

[arcadian]

38. Jeane Dixon

n/t

[Matariki]

42. she wasn't

the Psychic Friends Network? Seriously? You'd think she could have afforded her own private psychic, LOL.

[11 Bravo]

9. Joke 'em if they can't take a fuck!

[Lumpsum]

10. Someone asked if he had spoken to any past presidents

And he said he had spoken to all ALIVE presidents, but didn't go all Nancy Reagan and hold seances to talk to dead presidents.

[Lumpsum]

19. HAHAHAHA The Hannity forum is in an outrage!

http://forums.hannity.com/showthread.php?t=1135921

[liberalmuse]

15. I think that escaped Obama's lips without him fully realizing it...

LOL. He does do that once in a great while, and I love it!

[AlCzervik]

16. if that's all the gop has then that's quite a pathetic statement.

[davepc]

17. for the cube dwellers: he was asked if he conferred with former presidents

His response was an awkward "I've spoken to all the living ones" Then he caught himself and said (paraphrasing) "I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing with any seances"

[Jennicut]

18. Nancy Reagan used an astrologer to dictate everything she did in the Whitehouse

I big into astrology as a hobby, but it does not belong in the Whitehouse! That was a funny joke.

[Arugula Latte]

20. Bwa ha ha! Good one, Obama!

:thumbsup:

[deadparrot]

24. That was one moment where he seemed a bit punchy.

His mental filters seemed slightly off...poor guy probably needs a good night's sleep (or ten). Funny, nonetheless.

[4lbs]

25. Actually, right now, on "Studio B" on Faux News, Shepard Smith is talking about Obama's economic

statements. He's completely ignoring the Nancy Reagan dig.

We'll see if Bill-O and Hannity do the same later today.

[Uzybone]

35. Shep Smith is probably the only real journalist on Faux

He seems to try not to be an overt partisan like the rest of them.

[livedemocarticordie]

49. do you know what?

My husband and I agreed this morning that we like Shep better than Joe...Not sure if that's becasue we've come to despise Joe so much or because Shep is the only slightly normal journalist on FAUX...

[Generator]

27. I know

I think our first concern should be the right's umbrage at every little thing Obama says. Our president-elect dares to make ANY reference to the mother Teresa of our country, Nancy, and that saint-God rest his soul-Ronnie. Obama better watch his mouth!

[ellie]

28. I don't understand

why. Nancy Reagan was into that sort of thing, but then the repukes have a problem with the truth. Oh and fuck Ronald Reagan.

[Lumpsum]

29. Because Reagan is their god.

[tomg]

31. If you can't take a joke, take the elevator. nt

[rvablue]

32. While this generally falls into the "who cares?" column, it did make me cringe

just a little bit being that Mrs. Reagan is quite infirm right now with a broken hip....and also because Obama has said in the past that Michelle is off limits.

I know...flame away...I need to chill out.

But this is my honest reaction to it.

[CitizenLeft]

33. no flame from me, I cringed a little too...

...but only for Ron Reagan's sake, who is such a big supporter... and I suspect that Nancy is a closet supporter too. I wouldn't bet against her having voted for him.

[rvablue]

37. No doubt she probably did.....did you know that

she was McCain's first wife's best friend.

She hasn't spoken to McCain since he left her.

Sorry to seem like a know it all if you already have the 411 on this...just passing on.

[CitizenLeft]

50. no problem, no need to be sorry!

We've all been so deeply involved in everything that has happened in the last 2 years - living and breathing this campaign - that we're all repeating facts back to each other! :hi:

[treestar]

34. It was so long ago

It makes me think of the 1980s, not the current Nancy Reagan.

Besides, she did it, so she deserves it. All those idiots calling Obama a Marxist are doing far worse.

[Virginia Dare]

47. The Reagans did have a sense of humor..

Ronny could bust on people pretty well when he wanted to--she's probably getting a chuckle out of it.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

36. Have the Repugs already started drawing up articles of impeachment?

Just askin'

[TexasObserver]

41. There's GOP neck and head veins popping all over America!

[Ichingcarpenter]

43. The Reagan Supply Side Economics is dead.... I think we didn't get that part

The joke put the final nail in that coffin since it was an economic/press conference . The trinkle down theory is dead too.

I loved the joke myself because they were asking him on economic advise from presidents.

[spanone]

44. i thought it was great...

[budkin]

45. Oh noes! What a gaffe! he'll never win now... oh wait.

[Virginia Dare]

46. He's just firing up his base...

and pissing the FAUX viewers off---:thumbsup:

[DefenseLawyer]

48. News Flash- We don't have to give a fuck about right wing field days anymore.

We own the rodeo, they are cleaning the stables.

[mokawanis]

51. Right on

If they want to make a big deal about Obama's comment...who cares? Let them whine.

[NorthernSpy]

52. So? Let 'em sputter.

We just cleaned their clock. We don't have to care what they think.
