Has anybody checked to see if he really called her, and really appoligised. I don't believe ANYTHING coming from him, or his handlers.

His first time in front of the press showed a dig a Republicans. If someone thinks he is going to be bi-partisan, they are smoking Opium.

I thought it was Hillary talking to Eleanor Roosevelt in the blue room at the white house that did it..

LOL! He’s not even in office yet and they’re already having to clean up after him.

Nancy Reagan isn’t about to nuke us though...what happens when he speaks without thinking and gets us into major trouble?

He certainly won't say anything amusing (or perfectly apropo) like 'The bombing will start in five minutes..'.

Lookie here... The zero goes off script.

I’m guessing zero pressers between now and the inaguration.

I heard him speak for 2 minutes and heard this said. He realized how stupid it sounded right away I think.

The next 4 years will be fun to listen to,

During the Reagan presidency, the media mocked Nancy Reagan a good deal. They tried to suggest that Reagan was a lightweight and that Nancy was constantly telling him what to do. And they wrote stories saying that she had held seances.

Whether she did or not, I have no idea. I don’t trust the media any farther than I could kick them. Possibly she did something of the kind as a kind of game or joke. In any case, the media were constantly attacking and belittling the Reagans every chance they got.

I’m sure that Obama and his leftist friends were laughing about the Reagans as idiots back then, and when Obama said something awkward during his press conference, about only speaking to live presidents, the memory of Nancy Reagan’s much mocked seances came into his head and he joked about it to fix his odd statement.

It was really just a case of the kind of things liberals joke about with each other—but not meant for public consumption. Still, I’m surprised he apologized. It’s not something he does very often.

Can we mark this down as the 1st Official Apology from the Obama Administration?

At this rate he has to be good for a dozen or so of these a month. I wonder who will receive the next Official Apology?

Hillary channeled Eleanor Roosevelt. Said she talked with her.

He should apologize for being an idiot. He realized that he had just said something moronic and his childish attempt to recover just made it worse.

He also did his first official flip flop on the tax issue.

We know that was code. I’ve heard those racist comments about old white women doing seances before.
