Obama already puts foot in mouth

Well that didn't take long. During his first news conference after becoming president-elect, Barack Obama already insulted Nancy Reagan and had to call her and apologize for his remarks.

Obama said he had just talked to every living president. Then, to explain why he used the word "living," he said: "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any séances."

What is bad about the gaffe, and which most of the media failed to point out, is that it was Hillary Clinton, not Nancy Reagan, who did séances in the White House.

This is yet another sign that he is clearly not ready to be president.

What will he say next?
