President-elect Barack Obama called Nancy Reagan this afternoon to apologize for a joke about her having heald "séances" in the White House, an Obama aide said.

“President-elect Barack Obama called Nancy Reagan today to apologize for the careless and off handed remark he made during today’s press conference," said transition spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter. "The President-elect expressed his admiration and affection for Mrs. Reagan that so many Americans share and they had a warm conversation."

Did George Stephanopoulus call Obama and tell him that he was to “flip” as George did for BO when the Messiah said that when a baby had human rights was “above his pay grade”.

MSM will do all they can to cover for their man.

Death, taxes, and MSM covering for Obama are three things we can be assured.

She should have told him ‘to take a hike’.

On the other end of the phone Mrs. Reagan said: “Barack who?”

[Califreak]

Every time I see one of those pix, I have an intense wave of hatred for this clown.

Keith Richards in the White House would be less of a slap in the face than this guy.

B.O. is a low class pig

Well, B O also stands for Bad Odor, doesn’t it?

[CodeToad]

He’s just a immature skinny little kid without any respect.

I wonder if Obama was “stroking” his chin with his middle finger as he was making the apology?

Obama apologizes to Nancy Reagan for 'careless' joke

I know Nancy is much too gracious for this.

But I would be ecstatic to hear if she said
"No apology is necessary Mr. President-Elect. Never apologize
for doing what you really enjoyed doing."
Sound a phone being slammed down, then "Click", then dialtone.

Or just saying the people he should apologize to are the ones
that voted for him. It might lessen their anger when they realize
he couldn't deliver on even a fraction of his promises.'
Even if he emptied all the national treasuries on Earth.

Yeah, cannot slam the guy for apologizing immediately.

Seems like a pattern though.

Guy doesn't seem to get things right the first time.

[mass55th]

"Krauthammer is the arbitor of acceptable public etiquette now, too?"

Stand up Chuck!!!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Did he give that fine lady the finger as well?What a classless fornicator.I expect more of the same from this lowlife.

[llevrok]

When will 63 million voters apologize to the 57 million of us who did not vote for this guy?

[OldNavyVet]

Diarrhea of the mouth disease.

[RobbyS]

I will show Obama the same respect HE has paid to Thomas/He made a vulgar dig at Thomas, denying his competence. Well, the record shows that Thomas replaced a justice who had done no meaningful work for at least ten years. Proof that a good lawyer can be a poor judge. But BHO cares naught for facts. What a snide jerk he is.

My guess would be that as of this afternoon he just found out how much Ron and Nancy are loved by America. He called because his nuts were in the ringer...he did not make a mistake, he simply got caught in it.

Adviser downplays Hillary Clinton’s conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt
http://www.cnn.com/US/9606/24/clinton.houston/

Mrs. Clinton wrote about her imaginary conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt in her June 10 syndicated column. She said she talked to Roosevelt about the role of a first lady.

“She usually responds by telling me to buck up, or at least to grow skin as thick as a rhinoceros,” Mrs. Clinton wrote.

>>>Was he scratching his lip with his middle finger.....

My thought exactly...only I had it as his chin....about 200 posts after you! The guy is a predictable thug.

[Radix]

The future “worst President ever” is already apologizing.

[o2bfree]

I have the feeling conservatives will be the target of endless careless jokes over the next 4 years.

Can’t we still move forward with the investigation of this clowns birth certificate.

[Terry Mross]

He made a mistake when he said “who are living” and realized it as soon as he said it. He then tried to make a joke instead of admitting he screwed up. His first “press conference” and, without a teleprompter and David Axlerod’s and Bill Ayres’ hand up his butt, he said something stupid.

I will give him credit for fast thinking except he had the wrong first lady.
