Sorry, but this weak apology isn't quite cutting it.
President-elect Barack Obama called Nancy Reagan this afternoon to apologize for a joke about her having heald [sic] "séances" in the White House, an Obama aide said.Warm admiration, my ass.
“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."
Ironic, isn't it, how he lamely invoked Ronald Reagan's name wherever he could during his campaign, then goes out of his way to throw a cheap shot at a woman who just broke her hip.
Meanwhile, the petty trainee avoided Fox News during this "press conference," giving his press secretary Nedra Pickler the first question.
This childish obsession over Fox News is really beneath the dignity of the White House. George W. Bush has been mercilessly pummelled by most of the media during his term but has never acted so petulantly about any media outlets.
Obama needs to grow up before he actually assumes office. If he's going to whine and snivel like a little bitch about Fox, then he just doesn't have the chops to be a credible leader.
Joe the Biden claimed Obama has a spine of steel. He might want to try demonstrating that.
