Can You Feel the Love?
Weekly Standard Blog —
Obama makes a joke at Nancy Reagan's expense at his first post-partisan, uplifting press conference. The press corps enjoys it.
Ronald Reagan's 86-year-old widow is currently recovering from a broken pelvis suffered in October.
Perhaps picking on her is part of Obama's vaunted "social perception," as praised by David Brooks.
Reagan consulted an astrologist, after her husband was shot. There's at least one account of Hillary Clinton attempting to speak to the deceased Eleanor Roosevelt during her time in the White House in the spiritual ...
Presser: Obama Of The Woodpile
Riehl World View —
I mean, what's a little humor, right?
Well, unfortunately we've established one thing from Obama's first press conference, he's actually more immature than many of us suspected and feared.

Misogynist-In-Chief Takes Shot at Nancy Reagan
Tammy Bruce —
He's up there for just a few minutes and he couldn't help himself. And why should today's shot at a woman be stopped just because the target is a beloved 87-year old woman who is still recovering from a broken pelvis caused by a fall?
No specifics about anything facing this nation but plenty of time to nail Mrs. Reagan. And pundits and various others insist we're supposed to all support this guy. Not on our watch.

Fake Messiah Takes A Shot At Elderly Widow [Kensington]
Ace of Spades HQ —
Fake Messiah Takes A Shot At Elderly Widow [Kensington] The Silver-Tongued Savior of Mankind gave his first press conference as President-Elect this afternoon, and, in an example of what's being praised as a looseness on the part of Lightbringer Alpha, took a gratuitous shot at, of all people, Nancy Reagan. Video below the fold: Okay, so here's the thing: no, it's not the most vicious thing ever, and it's good that Mr. Government had enough brains to apologize , but it is garden variety knee-jerk anti-Reagan twaddle, the sort that Leftist bozos are constantly excreting all over the Internet on a daily basis. Why is something like this ...
Obama Insults Nancy Reagan
Flopping Aces —
What a classless ASS!
Obama discusses how he reached out to all former Presidents “who are living….I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing you know about doing any seances.”
Stick to the teleprompter Obama! That wasn’t funny and it revealed what a clown you really are!

Barack Obama’s First Press Conference as President Elect Features a Dig at an Old Widow with a Broken Hip
The Sundries Shack —
Nice . 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 a deceased one.“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. He later called her to apologize for his crude and extremely disrespectful jibe. I don’t believe that anyone on the stage who laughed along with him, or any of the reporters in the room who enjoyed a little chortle at the expense of an 87 year-old ...
Classy:Obama Take Cheap Shot at Nancy Reagan
Stop The ACLU —
The arrogant one thinks he is funny. Way to work on that bi-partisanship. Classy, presidential professionalism…..not. What a jerk. Wow! Not even president yet, and already having to make apologies.
Please, Please Stick to the Teleprompter
Chicago Boyz —
Wow, only a few days being the president elect and Obama already lost Indiana (and maybe a few other states) for the next election for bashing on one of his most vehement, politically active, supercharged frothing at the mouth opponents of this day…Nancy Reagan.
Geez, I figured they would have to raise taxes or introduce some sort of silly gun ban FIRST to get the conservatives riled up.
I would assume that Obama’s handlers are asking him to stick to the prepared scripts for a while here. I heard that Obama did call ...
Obama’s funny business
neo-neocon —
One thing Barack Obama needs to learn is that, despite his much-vaunted coolness, he’s not a funny man. I noticed this and wrote about it quite some time ago, and now he’s proven it once again at his first post-election press conference with his extremely tone deaf and classless attempt at humor at Nancy Reagan’s expense.
Here’s the clip, in case you somehow managed to miss it so far:
At least Obama had the decency to call the lady up and apologize. Note that he also managed to get the facts about Mrs. Reagan incorrect—but hey, ...
Liberal Niceness
Moonbattery —
Liberals don't need morality, because they have something that serves them better: niceness. Forget that old-fashioned stuff about right and wrong; if we just always do what's nice — i.e., politically correct — we'll have a better world. But whereas morality is a sturdy bridge supported by pillars sunk deep into the earth, "niceness" is a pretty piece of flotsam that floats at random on the surface.
Niceness being so flimsy, it isn't hard to discover what lays beneath it. The demonic hatred evoked by Sarah Palin has provided numerous examples, such as websites that go after her family by ridiculing Trig Palin for having Down ...
The (Peripatetic) One
American Thinker —
There he was right out of the gate offending Nancy Reagan; there he was again discussing a college football playoff; nearly every day between the election and inauguration, there he was behind the placard of the newly-created Office of the President-Elect. The days leading up to the inauguration were an Obamarathon, the exhaustive coverage of his reenactment of Lincoln's train ride into the capital - complete with radar-like tracking of his movements along the eastern seaboard; the speech at the Lincoln Memorial in the loving embrace of musicians and assorted other fellow celebrities. On and on it went. Obama tries to portray himself as the hip ...
