Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? I don't think so!

A fair shake from MSNBC.

I’m losing my mind.

The world is upsidedown.

...and the sun just came out after a squal.

Thus is exactly the answer I hoped Trump would give. Its perfect. The guy is very shrewd. Now he can turn it around and make it about OStumbles. :-)

If I would have challenged the man, the media would have accused me of interfering with that man's right of free speech. A no win situation!

If someone made a nasty or controversial statement about me to the president, do you really think he would come to my rescue? No chance!

This is the first time in my life that I have caused controversy by NOT saying something.

He’s correct, and anyway that job is already taken, by the lapdog propaganda media.

I still think Trump or anyone's response is "I do not know Obama and therefore I cannot answer your question about whether is now or has ever been a Muslim."

That said, I think this was good move on his part. And "Breaking News" for MSNBC. Not bad discussion, either, so maybe that is valid label.

Trivia point: Did you notice the reporters, women at that, eating donuts live on TV?! When is the last time you saw that?

Christians need support in our country (and around the world), their religious liberty is at stake! Obama has been horrible, I will be great

I just hope the lapdog propaganda media gets tired of this, because he shouldn’t have to even waste his time defending his right to not defend Obozo, and the LPM is deliberately trying to make his campaign look unserious by these distractions which they themselves create.

MSNBC is becoming more pro-Trump.

That said, you can probably find it on youtube eventually.

Donald should answer all questions this way:

I just want to say that if the President likes his religion, he can keep his religion.

Must have been from that place which gives out free marijuana donuts on the weekend, or whatever the deal was. They act like it, anyway (the media, I mean).

Brilliant.

Has anyone determined whether the guy who made the birther remarks was a GOP or Dem plant? He didn’t ask a question. He just made a statement apparently trying to get him to agree.
