President-Elect D’oh-bama’s Gaffe #1: Sorry, Nancy
And so it begins.
Or rather, continues.
HPresident-elect D’oh-bama apologizes (vid here in case you missed it):
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.”
Obama was asked at his press conference today if he’d spoken to all the “living” presidents.
“I have spoken to all of them who are living,” he responded. “I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any séances.”
Hillary Clinton did seances. Nancy Reagan did astrology.
At least he didn’t call her “Weezy.”
Can’t wait until the increasingly erratic, super-gaffetastic Vice President-Elect gets rollin’.
