Seems like the “Magic One” has already stuck his rather large foot in his rather large mouth.
This comes via Ben Smith’s Blog:
President-elect Barack Obama called Nancy Reagan this afternoon to apologize for a joke about her having held “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.”
He was apparently confusing stories about Reagan’s consulting with an astrologer with those about other First Ladies — from Mary Todd Lincoln to Hillary Clinton — who tried to make contact with figures from the past.
Here’s the video:
I’m just going to call him what he is; A classless Negro. There was a time in this damned country, when Barack the Magic Negro would not be even allowed in or near the White House. There was a time, when the only thing Barack the Magic Negro would be allowed to do, would be to shine Nancy Reagan’s shoes or work in her garden.
That idiot had better learn some respect for people like Ronald Reagan. Because we Conservatives will not stand to be insulted like this. Remember Barry, We brought down Bill Clinton, We brought down Dan Rather, we can and will bring you down too, Mr. Floppy ears, if need be. Before anyone screams and says that I threatened “The one”. I am talking about bringing him down Politically, not by any sort of violence at all. .
