When Nancy Reagan’s Stepson Saw Obama Was Skipping Her Funeral, He Immediately Knew What to Say

Nancy Reagan’s stepson had a very simple explanation for why President Obama decided to party at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival instead of attending Nancy Reagan’s funeral on Friday.

“It seems that Barack Obama has never learned the right thing to do,” said Michael Reagan, during an interview Wednesday with Newsmax TV.

“It would’ve been nice if he would’ve honored Nancy and been there, but I’m not surprised again,” Reagan said. “Imagine if Nancy were a Democrat, liberal — or if Ronald Reagan was, he probably would be there.”

“Sometimes, there’s a right thing to do,” he said. “Whether you agree with something or not, sometime it’s just the right thing to do. He just keeps on missing the ball on that one” . . .

Michael Reagan said Nancy Reagan’s influence was a tremendous positive for his father’s presidency.

“What was great about Nancy is not only was she a great helpmate and spouse to my father in that way and a great first lady, but she was that last person to lay her head on the pillow at night that could have the ear of the president of the United States and try to protect him from people out there who were trying to use him for their own good,” he said.
