President Barack Obama’s decision to skip Nancy Reagan’s funeral in California on Friday in favor of attending the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference in Texas is not the first time Obama has insulted the former First Lady.
On Nov. 7, 2008, at his very first press conference after winning the election, President-elect Obama cracked a nasty joke at Nancy Reagan’s expense, referring to stories that she consulted an astrologer in the White House.
Obama was answering a question from a journalist who had asked him whether he had spoken to any of his predecessors. Obama’s flippant, contemptuous response is recorded in the transcript of the event:
QUESTION: Thank you for asking. Here’s my question. I’m wondering what you’re doing to get ready. Have you spoke to any living ex-presidents, what books you might be reading?…
OBAMA: … In terms of speaking to former presidents, I have 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 seances.
I have re-read some of Lincoln’s writings, who’s always an extraordinary inspiration.

obama didn't insult Nancy Reagan. She was a class act and there is nothing a 2 bit lying ghetto trash can say about a classy person that means anything. She considered the source which is you can take they out of the ghetto but you can never take it out of them. It's best he does not attend her funeral. He would only foul the air with his putridness. Too many classy people there. He doesn't fit in as he is below them. He needs to stay in the ghetto where he belongs.
He only talked to fellow criminals! Lincoln was one of the worst!
I am sure that the family is quite happy he won't be there. Probably wishing Michelle wasn't going either. They are grieving and do not need the hassle that comes with these people.
Ms. Regan was a Wicca and proud of it.
For those who know nothing about the matter, the craft is a source of good energy and Ms. Regan used it for good purposes at all times.
An early indication of the trash our idiots voted into office,
History will show absolutely nothing POSITIVE regarding Obama. Its okay, its happened before and will happen again. For every good Prez, there are several more duds.
But the real issue is Congress...they are the real ones in charge and the last several Congress' with their utter dislike of the current Prez has been very embarrasssssssssing.
