Don’t apologize for the truth Murdoch. It’s not like Libs watch your Fox News network either. You aren’t offending your conservative base...the RINOs on the other hand...

Actually Rupert wasn’t too far off base there. Obama isn’t All Black and he certainly isn’t a president in the sense of fulfilling Constitutional requirements.JMHO

I don’t unless I am completely in the wrong. There are some idiots out there that do; actually a lot of them.

Obama is not even black by affirmative action standards. He is half Arab and his ancestors were slave traders.

He is half a$$ black and half a$$ white. Neither fully one or the other and it shows.

PC insanity!! apologize for telling the truth?? Murdock has no principles or integrity but lots of money in his pocket. Maybe Murdock should run for a DC office. Oh wait, that would be like a pimp becoming one of his own street walkers

Like hyphenated-Americans are too ashamed to be just Americans.

It’s so phony - Teresa Heinz is from Africa but not “allowed” to be called an African-American.

Leftism is the home for racists.

OMG! Why apologize for the truth, Mr. Murdoch. Anything for a buck! Right? Poor judgment, almost the same type of judgment shown by you when that photo was snapped at the dinner...you remember ‘the dinner’ where you were seated between ValJar and Jib-Jeb. Your mask has been removed and here you stand in all your glory. Be prepared for incoming.

I believe some on the Left wondered the same thing about Obama prior to 2008.

Rupert should have said that Obama was as black as the Oregon shooter.

Obama lives a lifestyle that would make a country club Republican blush.
