Senator apologizes for Obama comment
Associated Press ^ | Feb 26, 2008 | MARK NIESSE

Sen. Daniel Inouye has apologized for suggesting that Sen. Barack Obama's private high school in Hawaii was elitist.

Inouye said before his state's Feb. 19 Democratic caucuses that voters know Obama was born in Hawaii and graduated from one of its high schools, "but he went to Punahou, and that was not a school for the impoverished."

"To suggest that Punahou maybe set his life plan in place, I find it very interesting," Inouye said

Punahou, located in Honolulu, is one of the island's most prestigious private schools.

Inouye, 83, graduated from McKinley High School, a public school near Punahou's lush campus.

I would hereby like to apologize to both Senator Obama and his supporters, and any others who may have been offended, for the fact that the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. While I was not responsible for that decision, I accept responsibility for it, and I repudiate it as unconscionable and unacceptable.

I’m sorry Mr. G, but you put to much faith in the American voter. The majority regardless of political affiliations, do not understand much of why what he claims he would do, is so horribly dangerous.

Punahou was elitist 54 years ago when I was in High School on Oahu.

His grand parents ( later in life ) who fed him, educated him, clothed him, put a roof over his head...who Obama calls ' those white folks...'

Obama's mother was the child on the left in the earlier picture.

No need to be sorry for improving on my observation.

I’m seeing a pattern here - - nobody can say anything about Obama unless it’s a glowing endorsement.

Anything, that is not a positive observation of Obama is a smear.

It’s a smear to refer to his middle name, Hussein - - even though IT’S HIS NAME.

It’s a smear to publish a photo of him dressed up like a Muslim - - even though HE PUT THOSE CLOTHES ON and POSED FOR THE PHOTO.

It’s a smear to say he was/is a Muslim - - even though his sister Maya, said “Everyone in my family IS A MUSLIM.”

Right now, this guy is bulletproof and if it doesn’t stop he will be our next president.

Everyone is lining up to apologize to Prince Obama.

Excuse me, it's King Obama.

Obama sketched this into fresh cement outside the Penahu cafeteria:

Has anyone ever seen a single recent photo of Madelyn Dunham?

How about an interview? Anywhere? Anytime? In any newspaper? In any TV story? On the Internet?

Obama and his people have consciously hidden the woman that raised Obama and probably paid for him to attend the Penahou School.

She doesn’t fit the Obama myth - - she’s Caucasian.
