His First Blunder as President-elect

He is not even the President and the unfortunate President-elect makes an "offhanded remark" on Nancy Reagan.

When asked by a reporter during Obama's first press conference as President-elect, whether he spoke to any former presidents, Obama replied that he had only spoken with those "alive" and "[he] didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing... doing any seances." A seance is a meeting of spiritualists or astrologists. Nancy Reagan was ridiculed for meeting an astrologist to discuss about her husband.

Obama later apologized to Nancy Reagan.
