Quote of the day: "...Nancy Reagan thing about doing séances."

November 7, 2008
Chicago

First Press conference as president elect and barry thinks it's funny to laugh about Nancy Reagan. He looks ridiculous flanked by all those folks. Biden has his arms crossed - pissed those people have encroached on his territory or does he have a shock belt to keep him quiet?

Lynn Sweet asked some really hard-hitting questions about the dog, his kids' schools what he's reading. I don't quite see them in public school.

SWEET: Have you spoke to any living ex-presidents?

BARRY: "In terms of speaking to former presidents, I have spoken to all of them that are living. President Clinton. I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any séances."

Apology by Stephanie Cutter. She sure is busy. I thought she worked for mrs barry.

Cutter via CNN: Obama apologized to Reagan "for the careless and offhanded remark." The president-elect expressed his admiration and affection for Mrs. Reagan that so many Americans share and they had a warm conversation.
