Obama made himself look incredibly catty and tacky with the insult he made against an elderly woman right out of the hospital. What on earth was his purpose? Does he really believe attacking any former First Lady, in a short 19 minute but his first post-election speech makes him look good? It was stupid and adolescent.

It takes a type of intelligence to have the humor and wit of a Sarah Palin, Obama doesn't have it.

He thought he was being funny and he realized it came off wrong. I respect him for his apoligies. He's human....most of us have said things we later regret. As President, though, he must choose his words carefully.

Obama is proof that even people on the left sometimes do not think before speaking. It is great that he apologized, but why comment in the first place?

You, on the other hand, are just a bitter troll who has made the rounds in the last 24 hours.

It sad that an offhanded joke is the only think some people know about the entire press conference. It's sound bite nation.

Regardless, it was funny.

It is sad that an offhanded joke was made in the first place...It's always funny to make fun of other people - is that what you're saying? Let me try...I guess he needed something to say to make the press conference memorable for you?

How many more times does this guy has to apologize...his remarks where so low.

We are already get used to him denouncing almost every friend he has....now he has to apologize for remark 1, 2 ,3....when do people understand that he is an empty suit with a beautiful speech.

Just have him as an example for the best speech giver ever, without saying anything good.
