President Obama brusquely cut off a reporter’s question Thursday about Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email system at the State Department.
At a press conference in Japan, the president said he would take one more question from reporters. But when the question turned out to be about Mrs. Clinton’s emails that violated State Department rules, he quickly changed his mind.
“You know I take it back — I’m not taking another question,” Mr. Obama said. “We’re in Japan, don’t you have something to do with Asia that we want to talk about? I’ll be talking about this in Washington the whole time.”
He added, “I’ve already said a lot on those issues — I think these are better directed to the campaign.”
An inspector general found Wednesday that Mrs. Clinton did break State Department rules by setting up her own secret email server, and said she failed to report hacking attempts and waved off warnings that she should switch to a more official email account.
A reporter asked Mr. Obama whether questions about Mrs. Clinton’s use of personal email meant that she should release the texts of paid speeches she gave for Wall Street firms. The president deflected the question, addressing instead the rancor in the Democratic primary between Mrs. Clinton and Sen. Bernard Sanders, Vermont independent.
“During the course of the primary, people say things that they think will help them get some votes, and once the campaign is over, they move on,” Mr. Obama said. “The noise that is going back and forth between the candidates at this point … if you want insights into how they’re thinking about it, those [questions] should be directed to them.”

They weren’t talking about him. Pissed him off obviously....
As AlGore said before his third chakra too hold: “You don’t have to get snippy about it!”
Just about sums up Obama's entire career.
Funny how it ended up that the dems might not be so sure who should be their man/woman so late in the game.
Life’s strange that way.
that’s why he doesn’t go to funerals; too much talking about the dead guy. he can’t stand it when he’s not the center of attention.
It’s about time he got ticked. I always thought it odd that he didn’t replace her as soon as he found out she was being insubordinate by consulting with Blumenthal after the White House said she couldn’t hire him at State. Also, not following the White House instructions on the server and e-mail stuff— how could he put up with that?
(I know, I know, somebody will say he couldn’t say anything because the Clintons had some dirt on him or something.)
Heavy flow/cramps/touchy day for Barry today? Maybe a little lovers spat with Reggie last night?
Sometimes Ginger snaps!
Anybody got a dog biscuit?
Or maybe a dog carcass?
Just trying to insert some logic here.
Obama will now have to worry about the electronic trail from the White House to Justice or any phone tapes that are detailing his squashing of an indictment.
Zer0 worries his “legacy” of deceit and destruction may be reversed.
Always a drama queen.
Obama runs the Criminal Justice Department.
If it were a question about Trump he would have been more than happy to share his thoughts and comments
Reporter: “I’m sorry Mr, President - can I ask a question about Asia?”
Obama: “OK. sure. go ahead.”
Reporter: “Is it true that Asian money went to the Clinton’s and this was part of the reason for Hillary Clinton’s private clinton email servers?”
My Dogs LOVE Ginger Snaps....
Obama, you churlish faggot.
Great!
Obozo is the one who introduced the US presidential campaign into Japan when he should have been dealing with G7 issues
Obozo is the one who trashed what used to be a good tradition of leaving US domestic politics at the water’s edge (of course DemocRATs have been trashing this “tradition” so much in recent years that I suppose it’s no longer a tradition....
