GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, "THIS WEEK" HOST: Let's get into this controversy over the last couple of days. I saw your tweets yesterday, you said you didn't have a morally responsibility when that question came up about President Obama. But this is getting a lot of attention in part because you have raised questions like this in the past. So, for the record, was President Obama born in the united states?
DONALD TRUMP: Well, you know, I don't get into, George, I'm talking about jobs, military, I don't get into it. They asked the questions. Frankly, it's no longer an interest to me. It's something I don't want to talk about. I want to talk about the vets and the military. I want to talk about jobs. I don't get into that, George.
STEPHANOPOULOS The way to get behind it is answer yes or no --
TRUMP: That's possible, but I don't talk about it.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Even though you raised questions and you investigated this in the past --
TRUMP: Well, people thought I should have defended the president in terms of the question that was asked the other night. My attitude is, would he have done that for me? He's been very capable of defending himself, believe me. So, we'll see what happens. But I think the tweets really covered it cell. I actually was very interested because I got in hot water for not saying anything. First time it's ever happened to me. This is something where I didn't even say anything.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I take that point. But you raised these questions so often in the past, why can't you say definitively yes or not? You raised it many times. And he's not a Muslim.
TRUMP: George, you have raised the question. I haven't raised the question.

Stephanopoulos needs to explain why he thinks it would be a bad thing if President Obama were a Muslim......
It would have been great if Trump said “George, would you like me to tell the viewers what I KNOW about him?”
Amen & bump...
The correct response, yours, is really simple. I cannot understand why it isn’t used.
George thinks Trump should have performed a similar service on behalf of the president. Of course, the media is expected to prop up Obama 24/7/365. I'm not sure the Republican candidates for president are under the same obligation.
Excellent responses by Trump. He’s very good in front of a crowd and very good one-on-one. He just has to prepare better for debates. His two debate appearances show definite need for improvement.
Stupidopoulos couldn't correct a rock. At best he was trying to cover for Traitorobama.
Gee, I thought being a Muslim was so wonderful and we were all supposed to be tolerant of it. Now, they're acting like Obama being called a Muslim is a terrible insult and it was Trump's duty to defend Obama against this foul and vicious accusation.
Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.
Go to hell George. Trump has no obligation to agree or disagree with something that someone else says.
Why is that Obama won’t call the terrorists ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS?
Because he is a MUSLIM.
"God D*** America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11"

"America’s chickens... are coming home... to ROOST!"
“The media tries to pin him down and he just tosses their questions aside as irrelevant.”
They keep pushing this minutiae because the liberals cannot win on the issues.
Stepphie is not delusional....he wants to be part of the “in crowd” IE one worlders
Just remember, George - "The way to get behind it is answer yes or no --"
From HumanEvents.com, April 29, 2008:
"By all accounts, he [Obama friend and associate, Bill Ayers] was a ferocious, violent, revolutionary Marxist in his halcyon days as a Weatherman leader. He and his Weatherman bombers were enamored of Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse-tung -- indeed, all the murderous heroes on the Left. Referring to the Weatherman members in August 1969, he said (according to the FBI): 'We’re revolutionary Communists.'
He got off on the group’s multiple explosions, too, and discusses them rather lovingly in his memoir.
Ideal Bombing Weather:
'Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,' he writes (although he concedes it was really a group effort). 'The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.' (p. 256 in the 2003 edition.)

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

Steve Kroft, CBS:
“You said you’d take Senator Obama at his word that he’s not a Muslim. You don’t believe that he’s a Muslim?”
Hillary Clinton:
“No. No, there is nothing to base that on, AS FAR AS I KNOW.
See it here:

He doesn’t act like an American. He is ripping America apart. He hates “typical white people”. If he isn’t a Muslim, why does he act like one?
Muslims are fighting the Christians.
Obama is fighting the Christians. Christians are forced to pay for birth control. Muslims are exempt.
You decide.
Hilarious.
Did this exchange really take place? I didn't see it in the transcript.
From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."

Assistant U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick said the defendants were inspired by jihad saying "Their motive was to defend Islam. Their inspiration was Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.
