Obama apologises to Nancy Reagan

[Undesired Walrus]

President-elect Barack Obama called Nancy Reagan on Friday to apologize for a remark about seances he made during his first news conference earlier in the day. President-elect Barack Obama's spokeswoman syas he apologized to Nancy Reagan for "offhanded remark." When a reporter asked Obama if he had spoken with any ex-presidents since his election on Tuesday, he responded that he had spoken to all former presidents "that are living." "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any seances," he said. Nancy Reagan, wife of 40th President Ronald Reagan, was derided in 1988 when his former chief of staff Donald Regan revealed in a book that the first lady had consulted an astrologer to determine the president's schedule. Obama apologized to Reagan "for the careless and offhanded remark," Obama transition team spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said.

I thought it was pretty funny.

It is, indeed, amusing, yet it is also revealing.

I am decidedly not feeling "buyers' remorse" after voting for Obama/Biden with this evidence of someone who rejects woo, yet respects the office of POTUS, those persons who have served, and those who have helped them to serve.
