Who was in charge of this photo shoot? flmo should have been seated because Mrs. Reagan is so tiny and petite and is her elder. But! Why would anyone around the prez WH or flmo think of simple respect or protocol for a former First Lady. After all, flmo did get away with slapping the back of Queen Elizabeth II.

dawndawn – Just anything to make it negative, right! There is no such thing as because she is her elder she needs to be seated! Plus, get the facts right when it comes to the queen. The Queen put her arm around Michelle first, the First lady then put her arm around the queens shoulders there was no back slapping! You people are so darn sad, negatives for no reason and out and out lies!

I was not a fan of Ronnie. I grew to appreciate his presidency later in life but Nancy’s unwavering love and support was always inspirational.
Was that photograph provided by an “O” Media source? It’s not a well composed picture.

Poor Rosalynn Carter. Ignore by Hillary Rodham Clinton and again by Michelle Obama. Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush were much more involved in politics but Michelle Obama “appears” to be following Rosalynn Carter’s example of staying out…

Rosalynn Carter ignored? It was reported that Michelle Obama sought her advice on being first lady at a luncheon during the transition. And she’s already had lunch with Rosalynn at the White House since they’ve been there.
Hillary ignored Rosalynn. But then again the Carters don’t like the Clintons any way. And with good reason.

“A private lunch in the resident?”
That’s the person who lives in a residence. I think
