“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."

Notice the pattern? Obama opens mouth. Inserts foot. Removes foot. Apologizes to whoever he’s insulted; and for the MSM, all is forgiven. No wonder Letterman and Oprah love him. They all read cue cards for a living.

He’s NOT president yet! We still have two months, 12 days before that happens to this country!

Thank you for asking that question? I have not heard any mention him attending her funeral and have been blown away that NOBODY has mentioned this!

However, the press reported on his calm and cool demeanor and credited him with appearing presidential at today’s presser. All he really needs to do is not show emotion at all and he is “Presidential.”

The year, 1981, Comrade Θbama went to Pakistan, President Reagan was shot and nearly killed by John Hussein Hinckley, Pope John Paul was shot and nearly killed by a Muslim assassin, President Anwar Sadat was killed by Muslim extremists.

The year ended with Officer Danny Faulkner murdered in cold blood on the streets of Philadelphia by a hero of Comrade Θbama's friend terrorist Bill Ayers, Muslim Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Nancy Reagan consulted with astrologers...she did not hold seances...however; hillary clinton did hold seances in order to channel and talk with Eleanor Roosevelt.

As the article points out, it was Mary Todd Lincoln who held seances.

<<< The real point is he was taking cheap shots at an old lady who deserves respect. >>>

And when are the “journalists” who laughed when he insulted Mrs Reagan going to apologize?

Well, I appreciate the apology on her behalf.

He may have meant it as a small joke, but it was pretty damning.

The MSM has been drinking the Marxist kool-aid and know that white granny died when he went to Hawaii for those couple of days and to secure his birth certificate stayed sealed.

I just can not get over that this country has so many stupid and lazy and gullible people(sheep)to have elected this POS.

There is a world of difference in an astrologer and a medium.

Right, and when are these same journalists going to call Obama on saying stupid crap like he spoke to all the living presidents. What if Sarah Palin had said it? How would that reporting go. I doubt the word “presidential” would be repeated over and over again!

Maybe SNL can use it.

I love it, he is already having to back pedal for a stupid remark. If Bush had made a joke about Hillary as tasteless as that we would never hear the end of it, but Bozo will get a pass, naturally.

Obama’s attempts at humor today...

A person filled with hate should never attempt humor in front of an audience.
