someone said he said
something about SP, I didn't catch that.

Neither did I.

But, I thought the Nancy
Reagan thing, while not particularly funny (not everyone is blessed
with my sense of humor) was harmless.

It caught my attention, and I thought it was a bit disrespectful, but was a off the cuff kind of harmless gaffe as well.


Well, it is now on big headlines on the Drudgereport.com & elsewhere
that he has called Mrs. Reagan and apologized. That is how
ridiculous we have become as a culture, where a person has to watch
everything they say. He obviously didn't mean any harm .
And she probably wasn't listening to his speech, anyway. If he felt
he had to call her and apologize for his own benefit; fine. But
having to issue a press release in stupid. We don't take really
important subjects seriously enough; and we slam people for the
silliest mis-statements . Just my opinion....bobford

I agree 100%. I doubt Nancy took offense, and while it was decent and nice of Obama to apologize, I think it is very sad that he felt he had to-walking on eggshells is not fun-I know it sure takes the fun out of this list when you have to stop, explain, reexplain, defend, provide links, apologize, and explain again, etc. just so no one takes a post in a way other than the way it was intended.

Bev, on Obama's side, just this once<g>
