Hasn't anyone pointed out that St. Ron's wife consulting with astrologers is a lot more of a "gaffe" [and downright bizarre!] than cracking a joke about it?

I don't think we have to react to or even notice what MM posts anymore. It's all she has now, these obsolete mini-snarks. We have the real thing in the white house now. These are pebbles in the lake.
Bob Cesca, don't fill space on this blog with these trivial posts. Still love you, though.

I suppose there's no mention of his pre-emptive call to apologize to Nancy Reagan for his remarks. But no matter, we all know the truth. If they're looking for a template to catalogue gaffes, they should take a look at this or this.

On another note, is that "going down to Chinatown" remark a comment on Malkin? LOL!

it was an unfortunate joke by Obama, let us be honest.

I thought is was funny when i saw it, i mean for the love of god she help Seances in the white house and we cant joke about it .. good god. Its Hilarious.

when did Nancy Regan become Mother Teresa and untouchable.

Honestly ...
These blathering, incompetent, malcontents are going to find any little thing to blast Obama with because he's not their kind (meaning he's not a republican and not a conservative). I don't think it's an 'unfortunate joke'; Nancy Reagan is not the Virgin Mary, she's a human being just like the rest of us. Her exploits while she was First Lady are well documented and frankly, yeah, kooky. They had no problem whatsoever blasting Michelle Obama about her remark (taken COMPLETELY out of context) regarding being proud of this country.

And he called up the former First Lady and apologized if he offended her. NONE OF THEM would EVER have the decency to do that.
EVER.

Ok, first of all - 'President-elect Obama'. Anyone else still getting a thrill at those words?

To throw my two cents in - 1)MM and her ilk are irrelevant, and deserve the least amount of attention possible. I want to concentrate on our new President, an intelligent, capable, calm and confident man, and the trials that lie ahead for everyone as we work together to bring our country back to something we can be proud of.

2)Obama made, if not a gaffe, perhaps a mis-step. Hey, it happens. He's only human, and probably extremely tired at this point (poor guy, I hope he takes a little break soon), and if we, as progressive, clear-thinking, fair-minded liberals cannot accept the fact that our guy might make a mistake or two now and then, then we cannot discuss our opponents' mistakes.

Dammit Bob... now you've got me looking at Malkin's crazy. A my president is black t shirt is a sign that we're all double reverse racists! Oh and the comments:

"“The Moron” (as he will from this point on and forever more be referred to by me) has the sign ‘Office of the President-Elect.’

WHAT.AN.IDIOT.

It’s going to be a long 4 years."

Huh? The moron? Because he's so much dumber than, say... the current president? And a sign identifying the president elect as the president elect makes him an idiot? As for that last part...yeah. Four long years of watching your life improve!

Oh and:

Dear Nutsac , i mean Blusac.

Are your running from the truth and facts and hiding behind those racist statements? As most of us know this was a rasict election. The votes prove it."

Well, I'll just let that statement stand on its own. After all, the 63 million of us who voted for the black guy are obviously racist because... And McCain was the victim of racism because... and uh... Nope.

What needs to be pointed out was the idiotic question Obama was answering, which was something like:
"Have you consulted any living Presidents?"
Obama was merely pointing out that he hadn't consulted any dead ones.

>>"going down to Chinatown" remark a comment on Malkin?

Absolutely not! That didn't even occur to me, actually. It's a reference to DeNiro in 'Meet the Parents.' And besides, Malkin is Filipino, no?

>>Bob Cesca, don't fill space on this blog with these trivial posts.

I understand your point, but we can't ignore them either.

When is that canceled Reagan movie going to air?

lets stop for a moment and think about the vile,tasteless "humor" which has been directed at hillary,not to mention her daughter(im lookin at you you mccain).yet for some reason nancy reagan is off limits??
