It's been almost 7 years. When will Obama do any of the following?

Iron clad proof right there. You've convinced me.

One wonders if you are old enough to remember.

"Between 1981 and 1988 little happened in the White House without her say-so, in long cross-country phone calls to Nancy. The times of press conferences, election debates, negotiations with foreign powers, requests to Congress and all departures of Air Force One were set by her, to ensure the stars were right. The president’s calendar became a mosaic of green (good), red (bad) and yellow (iffy) days, with additional notes from Nancy: “March 10-14 no outside activity!…April 3 careful”."

"Mrs. Quigley, who was fashionable and social but had a flinty stare, spent seven years as the White House astrologer, advising the Reagans on everything from when to schedule Air Force One takeoffs to the best time for summit meetings and surgeries. She also took credit for reshaping the president’s views on the Soviet Union, recommending a conciliatory rather than confrontational tone. It was Mrs. Quigley who urged President Reagan to stop using the term “Evil Empire.”


“Sometimes I would talk with Nancy for three hours a day,” Mrs. Quigley said in 1995, living at the time on Nob Hill with her sister, Ruth Quigley. She added, “I was hired in May of 1981 to protect the president. This was after he had been shot. I really timed everything the Reagans did. For seven years I worked with them, sometimes 10 hours a day."
...

"The presidential-planning-by-astrological-charts drew its share of notoriety, landing Mrs. Quigley and the Reagans on the cover of People Magazine under the title, “Oh My Stars!” and on the cover of Time with the headline, “Astrology in the White House.”

Still haven't dismissed Nancy Reagan's admission in her memoir nor in the book Donald Regan wrote.

Oh, wait.....you can't. I guess ignoring and/or belittling something is just too convenient vs. having to face facts.

What you don't realize is that he has already preempted any facts you give him. You are talking to a hack despite his claims to the contrary.

That's about as believable as most of the stuff I read here. I expect someone will now come along with expert testimony and a peer reviewed paper conclusively proving the truth of that statement. Then the next two pages of posts will be the needy cheerleaders jumping in with the hope of some form of acceptance from the herd.

I love reading this shit, you guys make me feel downright superior.

Is this OP's first president? they all break promises so might as well get used to it.

Where did I mention anything about Nancy or Donald? I was commenting on the picture as posted.

I don't know if hack is the right term, but I don't have a problem with it.
I think the fundamental issue here is you fellows take yourselves so very seriously.
If Nancy's astrologer did indeed run the white house, she did as well as anyone else has in recent history, perhaps we should toss her into the next election.

So basically we shouldn't take you seriously. No problem

I've already stated that I don't think much of what many of you have to say, a condition that a bunch of people here share, so your announcement is pretty much a statement of the status quo.
It should be obvious to all that P&N is more of a shouting match than political discussion, the goal here is to demean and insult as much as it is to share ideas. Remember when we voted on cleaning up P&N? The result was a resounding NO! While the section we have where ideas can be discussed in depth without rage, name calling, and general stupidity, sits virtually unused. Don't you find that just a bit telling? The area where mutual respect is required sits empty, the area where it's thrown out the window gets well used. That says a lot about us.
