Trump says he's not 'morally obligated' to defend Obama against claims
CNN ^ | Sept. 19, 2015 | Eugene Scott

Washington (CNN)—Donald Trump on Saturday said it is not his job to correct supporters' claims about the President, defending his decision not to take issue with a man who disparaged Muslims and said President Barack Obama is not an American.

But Trump did not dispute the man's allegations made at a town hall event this week, and added that if someone criticized him to Obama, there would be "no chance" the President would come to his defense.

“Trump should also tweet that if Obama cannot get his faith right, why is Trump morally responsible to set thing right:”

Naa, quit while you’re on top. He got what he needed out of this!

“Remember how they lamblasted and smeared Joe the Plumber for asking their messiah a challenging question? Where’s and who is the ‘plant guy’?”

I’ve been wondering that same thing...does anyone have any info on him?

I haven’t forgotten now the GOP-e failed to defend Sarah Palin after this Obama insult:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/10/campaign.lipstick/
“That’s not change. That’s just calling something the same thing something different. You know you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig. You know you can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change, it’s still going to stink after eight years. We’ve had enough of the same old thing.” Video Watch how tensions are rising on the trail »

The crowd erupted in applause when Obama delivered the line.”

Seven years of Obama stink, and he expects Americans to stand up for him? Not likely.
Go Trump!

I’ve read 18 times in his first five years.

Mostly on days like Easter and Christmas. I am sure he wouldn’t want to bring attention to it if he didn’t attend either of those days.n My guess is that his attendance has dropped even lower because he’s not running for re-election.

He seems to bounce around to a few different churches — about half the visits were to St. John’s Episcopal Church.

The media thinks that EVERYONE is duty bound to protect Obastard at any cost.

Hey you are preaching to the choir, I am with you...I think the terms Christian Democrat and pro choice Christianm are both oxymorons

Anybody that votes Dem as far as I am concerned does not have the Spirit of Christ within them

To vote Dem is to say you are good with Christ being removed from classroom/public square, and thats even before we bring abortion and gay marriage into the discussion

I am with you brother

A name is the most personal of things we have. If he truly in his heart is a Christian he would not call himself with a moslem name. He has had other names before, like “Barry Soetero”, he chose “Barak Hussain Obama” - a very moslem name. I believe he’s a moslem because I believe he believes he’s a moslem.

Yep, they don’t like being the only ones with sh*t on their noses. Just like sodomites want to force everyone to celebrate their perversion, so their perversion won’t stand out.

Megyn Kelly is having the biggest fit over this and will not let it go. She is obsessed with Trump and would be the first to drive a stake in his campaign!

The Rove Party and the MSM (Fox/CNN/MSNBC) thought this would finish Trump—a Rehash of the Birther thing that worked in the past. I believe the Question asker was A) a Nut, or B) a plant, or a combination of both. These OUTRAGED folks —don’t they know we have a thing called “Free Speech”? Its not Donald’s fault this guy has those beliefs. He answered the man’s question about checking into training camps. He didn’t “correct” him—That’s not his job-—He’s running for president, not national teacher. Besides, the president’s advisors ARE Muslims!

What Trump should have said was “ Well mister Obama, why not come forth with all of your past records that are unavailable and put this all to a rest.”

"CNN set this up to generate the controversy."

Somebody did. They need to paint Trumps supporters as a bunch of racist loons. Imperative to take messy immigration business off the table.

At that same question and answer event, Trump also did something else I loved.

When a lib asked him about Globull Warming, he asked for a show of hands in the audience for those who believed in it, one hand was up. Trump went on to “next question!” without further comment on Globull Warming.

He has my full support, as does Ted Cruz.

TRUMP...MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

Why would Obama defend Trump?

Trump's not black, he's not a Muslim, he's not gay, he has never tried to kill a cop, he has never tried to defect to the Taliban, he has never performed an abortion. Plus he doesn't think that all of his wealth rightfully belongs to the government.

When did the media throw a hissy fit for all angry or unhinged remarks by democrats? When did the media ask democrat politicians to apologize or correct unhinged liberals?

I did not see the media bothering democrat politicians about comments made by their supporters or themselves when Bush was president.
