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

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
