Ben Smith’s Blog: Obama has spoken only to living presidents - Politico.com
“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 was responding to a question, from the Chicago Sun-Times’ Lynn Sweet, about whether he’d spoken to all of the “living” former presidents.
He was apparently referring to the reports in the 1980s that Nancy Reagan consulted an astrologer while in the White House. Mary Todd Lincoln, however, reportedly held actual séances. Hillary Clinton also reportedly held imaginary conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt.
And I’m supposed to call this guy “my” President? Sorry. He’s the President, but I don’t want any part of him, the snotty, condescending, classless bastard.


Careful there, Bill, you give bastards a bad name.
Barack, you smirking, condescending phony, you might want to check your facts. Your gal pal Hillary was the one who held seances in the WH, not poor old Nancy Reagan. Who, by the way, has been retired from public life for over a decade now, you classless buffoon.
We’re off to a wonderful start, my friends. As we all know, there’s nothing funny about Barack Obama.
I give it three months before Letterman finally breaks and does Obama jokes, or else is hospitalized for liver failure due to unvented bile.
