Obama apologized to Reagan “for the careless and offhanded remark,” Obama transition team spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter 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 Obama 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,” Cutter said in a statement. “they had a warm conversation.”
