Show that temper, boy.

Show people how stupid and thin skinned you are.

So, he won't admit that the rumor isn't true or doesn't exist. Wonder if Hitlery is blackmailing him, with the tape for a VP slot?

I remember the exact date that I was first proud of my country. It was three days before my 10th birthday — July 20, 1969 — when Americans landed and walked on the moon. It's too bad that Mrs. Obama can't even recall one situation in her lifetime.

[Jeff Chandler]

I didn’t hear a “no”.

[Michael.SF.]

Actually his response reads as a mild reproach not a “rip” as I would have thought from the headline.

[hosepipe]

Forget Michele the whole church is comfortable with blame it all on whitey.. probably many many black churchs are in this condition.. I personally don't know of ANY white churchs with a blame it all on blackie.. There may be some but I got a feeling they are very rare..

Worse the blacks that do this are not even embarrased.. including Obama... BOTH of them..

[Salvation]

Great collage. We need to get the angry one from his Montana win speech added. LOL!

[Texan]

Send it to ABC via a Kinkos computer in Abilene, TX. They’re SURE to believe it then.

[cjmae]

That’s not the Michelle that I know

[BunnySlippers]

Obama should provide the transcript and the video of the event to quell suspicions.

[jrooney]

He did not deny the existence of the tape.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

"If somebody has evidence that myself or Michelle or anybody has said something inappropriate, let them do it.”:

"For the first time in my adult life I am really proud of my country."

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them.And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

That was "inappropriate" enough to disqualify someone from the highest office of this nation.

“Frankly, my hope is people don’t play this game,” Obama said.

All across the playgrounds of my youth, this guy's whining would have been met with, "Tough titty!" a-rock who seine a-bomba didn't have the benefit of a childhood like mine.

I'm so tired of hearing this putz's name.

RUSH: I'm watching the news also at the top of the hour break, and no matter channel I turn to: "Hillary Clinton exiting race on Saturday. Hillary Clinton is going to praise Obama on Saturday. Hillary Clinton getting out," blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's not what's happening here. It is not what's happening. What you've gotta read between the lines... You gotta understand how to understand what a Clinton is saying. She did say that at some event so Saturday that she would "extend..." Let me give you the quote: "extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy." Congratulations for what? She doesn't say there, "I would extend my congratulations to Senator Obama on winning the Democrat nomination and I will support his candidacy." She's not saying that. Then she said, "I have said throughout the campaign that I would strongly support Senator Obama if he were the Democrat Party nominee, and I intend to deliver on that promise."

Well, she's admitting he's not the nominee as far as she's concerned. If she was going to acknowledge that he was the nominee, she would say, "I have said throughout the campaign that I would strongly support Senator Obama if he got the Democrat Party's nomination. I intend to deliver on that promise since he is our party's nominee." She didn't say that. Let me go through the two sentences again. Quote, "I will extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy." Candidacy for what? And then she said, "I've said throughout the campaign I would strongly support Senator Obama if he were the Democrat Party's nominee, and I intend to deliver on that promise." Parentheses: If he is the Democrat Party nominee. But she's not acknowledging that he is. So you have to look -- as our buddies here at NewsBusters.org, as Mark Finkelstein said -- at what she didn't say. She didn't say, "I lost." She didn't say, "I'm withdrawing from the race and asking my delegates to support Obama."

In fact, she said just the opposite. She's going to ask to hold onto her delegates for now. She's going to hold -- folks, she thinks something's going to drop out there. I'm telling you, the only reason to do this -- well, she may still be angling for veep, but it's amazing how many Democrats don't want her or Bill anywhere near that. No, no, no, no. Now they're talking about Kathleen Sebelius and some other babe, I forget who. Oh, yeah. Janet Napolitano. Any woman but Hillary. So she's going to hold onto her delegates. She thinks something's about to drop or will drop or something is going to happen. She did not say that Obama won, and she did not say, "He is the nominee." She didn't even say he's the presumptive nominee. She said she will "extend her congratulations," but she doesn't say for what. She pointedly does not say for having won the nomination. So the Drive-Bys and everybody else that's panting over this (panting) are just responding to this in a formulaic way or a template way, but she's playing this really, really close to the vest.

Parsing Mrs. Clinton's Statement

[bill1952]

I don’t hear you denying it, Mr Hussein.

[Cboldt]

We have seen this before.

Refresh my memory.

[rman04554]

Me thinks he protests too much

[sneakers]

Why does Obama and Michelle remind me of a black Bill Clinton and Hillary? If he wins, it’s the Clinton years all over again - except worse.

[lilylangtree]

I’d like to say: Put up or shut up! Surface the damn tape if it exists. Otherwise, shut up. I’m Jane Q Public and I really want to see that tape.

[kittymyrib]

After hearing that non-answer, any decent newsperson would start digging for that evidence he’s asking for. But our msm are so in the tank for him, I doubt they’ll do it.
