Obama Apologizes For Insulting Nancy Reagan
In Obama’s first press conference as President-elect he got in a jab at…Nancy Reagan. Then he apologized for being an inconsiderate jerk.
CHICAGO (AP) — President-elect Obama has called Nancy Reagan to apologize for joking that she held seances in the White House.
At a news conference Friday, Obama said he had spoken with all the living presidents. Then he smiled and said he didn’t want to get into a “Nancy Reagan thing” about doing seances.
The former first lady had consulted with astrologers during her husband’s presidency. But she did not hold conversations with the dead.
Nothing says “hope, change and bi-partisanship” like insulting the ailing wife of an iconic former President.
If Palin had said something this dumb Saturday Night Live would structuring a show around it and Jay Leno/David Letterman would be re-writing their monologues. But it’s Obama, so he gets a pass.
