Obama Apologizes To Nancy Reagan For False Claim Of Seances In White House
This SOB should have never said it in the first place….
What if anyone else would have stated we were not about to hold a seance to get in touch with MLK to see what he would think about Obama becoming president?
Well, no one did because it is one of the dumbest things to say, but leave it to Soros Boy to do just that.
I don’t forgive you.

WASHINGTON – President-elect Obama called Nancy Reagan on Friday to apologize for falsely claiming that she held seances in the White House.
At a news conference in Chicago, Obama said he had spoken with all the living presidents as he prepares to take office in January. Then he smiled and said, “I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any seances.”
The 87-year-old former first lady had consulted with astrologers during her husband’s presidency. But she did not hold conversations with the dead.
It was Obama’s top Democratic challenger for the presidency, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y. who was linked to imagining conversations with dead people, but not seances.
In his book “The Choice,” Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward described how Clinton consulted with a spiritual adviser who led her through imaginary conversations with her personal hero, Eleanor Roosevelt. Newsweek magazine, which was promoting the book, characterized the visits as “seances,” a term that White House officials quickly tried to squelch.
“These were people who were helping her laugh, helping her think,” said Neel Lattimore, Clinton’s spokeswoman. “These were not seances.”
Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said the president-elect later called Mrs. Reagan “to apologize for the careless and offhanded remark.” She said Obama “expressed his admiration and affection for Mrs. Reagan that so many Americans share, and they had a warm conversation.”
Nancy Reagan allegedly consulted an astrologer to help set her husband’s schedule, according to a book by former White House chief of staff Donald T. Regan. The claim created a furor and President Reagan even broke with his policy of not commenting on books by former White House staffers.
“No policy or decision in my mind has ever been influenced by astrology,” Reagan said.
